Hello, first post here, bear with me.
I've been electronically refurbishing a 46-1201 that I received from a relative. I got it to power on, selected phono, and the turntable spun, but it wouldn't stop whether the door was open or closed. Looking inside, it appears the trip release spring, the part that actuates the mercury switch, had snapped off a long time ago, and I can't seem to find a replacement, nor am I equipped to make one. could any of you Philco gurus help me out? The model of turntable mechanism is the M-7. 

Here's a Photo.

   

Thanks!

I deleted the other thread, as it was duplicate and did not have the photo.
Please proceed with this one.
People who do not drink, do not smoke, do not eat red meat will one day feel really stupid lying there and dying from nothing.

Dan Double conversion is using two IF converters instead of one. This improves the image response. morzh — 07:15 PM
