[Jukebox-list] AMI G-200 problem

[rickrussell at att.net]

I didn't look to see where it stopped in relation to the pin,  I should clarify.... The record magazine as viewed from the front appears to stop a little to the left of the record. The magazine will stop and seem to struggle on a little as if it has not gone far enough. It may or may not make it far enough to pick up the record
