[Jukebox-list] Rockola 1448 selection reset coils burning out.

[Wesley Dean]

    You need a test procedure. #1- remove the common feed from the scan 
block so the coils will not smoke. #2-unplug the turntable motor to 
eliminate distraction. #3-now you can check the cam limit switch at your 
leisure.The trouble must be here. You may have to disconnect the wire to 
find out if the problem is elsewhere. Wes
