[Jukebox-list] Coupler betweeen motor and gears for Seeburg 1965 Electra

I am familiar with the stack of switches your are referring to. I have  
noticed that the switch in my unit does not match the picture in the manual on  
what appear to be page 2512. The manual shows 5 blades below the cam lever.  I 
can send you a digital picture, to see if it matches the one in yours  if  you 
will provide me a e-mail address at:
 
_royd13483 at aol.com_ (mailto:royd13483 at aol.com) 
 
I will see if I can get the oil filled capacitor ordered, and then install  
it to see if I need to replace all of the capacitors, as that was an  item I 
did not order the first time around.
 
Thank you,
 
Roy

The  switches Ron is referring to are on the front of the mech in a stack of  
switches called the cam switch in the manual.here's an adjustment page in  
the 
manual.If the contacts are maladjusted it could be tripping as soon as  it 
hits 
the play position .I don't have the manual handy now to tell you  exactly 
where 
to look.

The 45TASU-2 is the autospeed unit .Since  the mech was geared for a native 
speed of 33 & 1/3 which it scans at  the autospeed is switched in when a 45 
is 
clamped on the turntable.It  changes the frequency of current to the motor to 
make 
it run faster. There  is a switch behind the clamp arm that controls a relay 
in 
inside the  autospeed unit to switch regular 60hz line current out and the 
autospeed  oscillator in.If the contacts  in the relay don't make or the 
autospeed  
has a problem the motor will stop dead when it goes into play like you  
describe. Usually the capacitors go bad inside the autospeed especially  the 
big oil 
filled capacitor.
