[Jukebox-list] W2800 really frustrating lift arm problem!!!

[Wesley Dean]

    Ron, the lifter arms are connected to a linkage that is self-balancing. 
With no obstruction for either arm, they will only lift about half way. Wes

I'm not where I can look at the lift arm operation--but don't the lift arms 
extend following a cam? In other words, the cam follower moves, and the 
springs pull against it to raise the arms. If this is the case, the only 
thing that can cause the problem (as I understand it) is a bind in the 
arm(s) pivot point. With the record basket removed, I would think that both 
arms should raise together--

  Chad, there are stops on each lifter arm to prevent them from
over-travel. The lift springs cannot have too much force unless they have
been altered. Their purpose is to lift the record smoothly into play
position.
Take the mechanism to play position. Switch the juke off. The lifter arm
can now be pulled down manually to see exactly what is obstructing it. Wes
