Hi there,


Hoping someone can help me with this. My 3500 will not return the
record at the end of playing a selection. I first assumed it was the
tomearm trip switch, but then discovered that it will also not return
a record when you hit the cancel button on the back of the machine.
Sometimes...sfter a bit of waiting, you can here what sounds like a
relay cut in in or near them amp and the machine returns the record
properly.

There is a relay block on the front of the amp, but I believe this is
used for the amp mute function. Is there another relay inside thae amp
that is sticking and causing the problem I am describing. I hope I
provided enough detail and am grateful for any assistance.

The trip operation is covered in the service manual - there is a
troubleshooting flow chart that will walk you through the switches and
relays involved and you can check each one.

Manuals are available either NOS, used, photocopies/reproductions, or PDFs.

We carry both NOS ($50) and used ($35) copies of these Wurlitzer manuals.
