[Jukebox-list] AMI G-200 problem

[rickrussell at att.net]

OK,  Ron and David,  thanks for your help.

Here is a little more detail.  I checked the selection pin and, yes, it was still out and the arm was hung up on it.  I pushed it in and the cycle will now complete.  I have tried some selections and sometimes it hangs up and  other times not.  The record rack appears to stop just short of the selection and occasionally "jumps" a little to get to the selection. Still no sound, and the reject switch under the turntable will not work unless the selection pin in pushed in and the arm is released
