[Jukebox-list] Seeburg 220 rejects selection at start of play

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.
