My 220 has been sitting dormant for a while now waiting for me to finish
the resto. I decided to fire it up to give it some exercise. For the
first X number of selections it will immediately reject the selection
right as it un-mutes the amp. I tried working the mechanism manually by
tripping a selection and working the motor shaft by hand and I cannot
figure out what may be sticking. After doing this manual process
everything works fine and all of the following selections work as
expected. After everything starts working I have to let it sit unused
for a day or so before it will act up again. This makes troubleshooting
the problem a bit difficult. I pulled out the zoom spout oiler and
lubed all of the areas I suspect as the source of the problem plus more.
I did this twice getting some of the spots I missed on the second
round. As of now, I do not know if the second round has alleviated the
problem. I suspect the reset arm may not be returning to the correct
position when going into play mode. I'm not sure, but I think the
popularity meter may be getting hit twice when this happens.
It may be fixed with the last round of oiling. Is there something
buried in there that I may have missed with the oil? I did get to the
back and got the clutch and surrounding pivots and shafts.
