I recently acquired a Thorens TD 145. It seems to work reasonably well, but it will not lift the needle off of the record when it reaches the end.
How do I start troubleshooting this issue?
My skill level is, I can turn screws and if needed can take measurements with a multi meter. And I generally unplug things before unscrewing stuff.
Also one potential oddity, when I flip the lever to 33 or 45, the turntable does not start spinning. I must push the switch a little past the stop point, the table will start spinning and the knob returns to the proper place. Is this a feature or a bug?
