John,
After about 200 plays the circuit breaker started popping. I tried my voodoo again with an external supply and it worked for about 40 plays--then the breaker started popping again.
I pulled it out and, without a load it was a hair over 2 amps.
I took the motor apart per your instructions. You were exactly, 100%, without any question, correct. I cleaned all the lose dust out and found an old razor blade in a parts drawer and worked with some magnifying goggles for about 20 minutes. Then I used a toothbrush to get anything left. Amps came down under .25 .
I just installed it into the machine and I'm amazed how FAST it loads and unloads the record!
Thankfully the other motor is drawing .25 because it looks too buried to remove.
John, I couldn't have done this without you and this thread.
Regards,
John
Glad to help!

Hi John,
I have an issue with a Rockola 484 with 11 VAC present at the gripper motor plug !!!
I believe it should be around 28VDC.
Would appreciate if you could give me a direction to look where this is supplied from
