Found part of the problem - a weak solder joint on the led board on the carriage. It was producing the same result as if it was at the end of the record. I missed something in reassembling the carriage though. Does anyone have a good photo of the underside of an esiii carriage? I have the manual but I think I have something cross-legged.

The needle arm will also not change position to select A or B side of a 45. Also, when I use the test button on the CCU, the carriage will move and the counter will go up to 250, after which it restarts at 200. Does anyone have any advice on whether this is a carriage problem, or still a fault on the CCU? Any suggestions?
