The problem is, once the record finishes playing, it is picked up, returned to the carousel then picked up and played again. It just plays the same record over and over on its own until you shut it off or unplug it. The carousel is not jammed as I can rotate it by hitting the scan button but whatever record i stop at just continues to play. The "clear memory" button does not solve the problem.
The display does not light up and doesn't seem to have any power to it.

Any help or suggestions would be appreciated. I am in upstate NY.

Thanks.
