Default TECH: Rock-Ola 1438 Selection Problem

Hi all,

Having a problem with a Rock-Ola 1438 I recently picked up.

Problem:
I make a selection and the selector pin moves to the "selected"
position on the pin bank. Record Carriage rotates around looking for
"selected" pin, however as the Selection Assembly moves along the Pin
Bank, it goes right past the pin that has been "selected", NOT
stopping and picking up the record. I've verified while looking
closely at the underside of the Selection Assembly while it rolls over
the "selected" pin that it does make good contact with the Selection
Assembly...however nothing. Record Carriage continues to go back and
forth looking for selection. Not until I manually put the "selected"
pin back into the "unselected" position will the carousel stop
rotating.

From what I can understand in the manual. It looks to me like this
might have something to do with the Interlock "Trip" relay not
engaging. However...why won't it engage?

I've noticed that while the Record Assembly is rotating around
searching for a selection, if I manually trip the Interlock "trip"
relay the carousel will immediately stop where ever it is and the
Gripper Motor Assembly will go about placing a record onto the
turntable and play the record. Once played back to the record carriage
it goes.

Any suggestions on why the Interlock "trip" Relay is not engaging?
This seems to be where my problem lays.

Thanks,
Craig Hassell

P.S. All fuses checked good with multimeter.
