It seems like I have a clicking or ratcheting noise coming from my
magazine drive motor on my Rockola 460. It only happens at two areas
on the magazine and they seem like they are opposite or 180 degrees
from each other. Any ideas? Is there any maintenance that should
performed on the motor?
Thanks,
Rob

Is the magazine fully loaded with records? If only half full they can
make different noises. If not full you can load it evenly, skipping spaces.

Tony,
I think I got it figured out. It turns out one of the magnets came
unglued. I believe the noise I was hearing was the magnet teetering
in the housing on the last glue strip before it broke loose. I have
re-glued it have it back together and it is quiet so far.
Thanks, Rob


Good to hear, and thanks for letting us know what the problem was, many
people don't.

Tony
