220 Tormat selection
I have a 220, in which I recapped the selector. My problem is the
selector will select all but three selection correctly. It seems to not be able to find just those three. Is my problem in the Tormat or somewhere else, any insight is appreciated. Thanks Greg |

Did it (those 3 selections) work before? If so, retrace your steps.
Something didn't get connected or came loose. Rick. |

Rick
This is my first refurbish and I created the cardinal sin before I rebuilt the selector unit, that's right I did run the head but I did not go through each indivial selection. I can tell you that it was selecting randomly and adding extra plays. Now that I have rebuilt the selector it is selecting correctly and it does not add additional selections on it's own. The only selections that are missing are A-1 A-5 C-3. I have a spare tormat that I am going to try. flashbk13 wrote: Did it (those 3 selections) work before? If so, retrace your steps.

Have you cleaned the contact rivets on the Tormat and the center terminal bar
(the surface that faces toward the bottom when the Tormat is installed on the back of the record magazine)? Is there any sign of burning or pitting on the contacts associated with those particular selections? Have you dressed the top surface of each contact pin that rides on the bottom of the Tormat and contacts the contact rivets and the center terminal bar on the Tormat? In most cases when you lose a single isolated selection (as opposed to a group of selections) it's either dirty contacts OR a failure inside the Tormat. The latter are very rare; I've only had one or two Tormats with internal damage that would affect a single selection. The most likely cause would be a broken read-out wire leading from the contact rivet for that selection.

Thanks "Tony" for the info, I will look at the suggested area's. Do
you know if the tormat is required to have some kind of lubricant on it, if so what should I use. Thanks Greg Joseph A.

I've never used lubrication on the surface of the Tormat. I don't recall
seeing anything in the manual suggesting that. Tony In article .com, "seeburgreg" wrote: Thanks "Tony" for the info, I will look at the suggested area's. Do you know if the tormat is required to have some kind of lubricant on it, if so what should I use. Thanks Greg |
