If the record is not returned to the carousel then it can't spin. The
gripper arm switches prevent spinning until the gripper arm is over the
basket and the pin has been fully retracted.

If the record is not cancelling then you may have a power problem -
check the circuit breakers.

Get a copy of the factory service manual for your machine, the
troubleshooting guide is quite good and shows the circuits that need to
be working to cancel songs.

Wow! Finally found someone else on this forum with a Rockola 442! When you say it doesn't "reset" at the end of the record, do you mean the record simply continues to spin and the arm stays on it.....or does it shut off and leave the record stopped on the turntable? Big difference. There is an adjustment on the arm to set the place that it reaches before it removes the arm. If it's set too far into the record, it won't remove the arm and all that will happen is that it will keep cycling in the lead-out groove. You can check this out easily by moving the arm to the left (toward the record label). If the adjustment is off, the arm will come off the record and properly reset. This adjustment is as follows: You will find it at the rear of the tone arm on the right. It is a small hexagonal headed nut that is horizontally mounted. Good luck with this, I may be "barking up the wrong tree".
