To manually reject the record, lift the horizontal metal tab that is 
just to the right of the record.  This will cause the mechanism to 
cycle the record back into the magazine.  Of course, the motor must 
be running for this to happen, or you must manually rotate the motor 
coupling.  Automatic reject at end of record is probably due to a 
power supply problem in the amplifier not permitting the mute/trip 
relay to energize, or a wiring fault, or the trip magnet having 
fallen off the pickup arm due to epoxy age.  Check my website:

covered under symptom #4
