Did you remove the turntable and reposition the automatic stop yoke? This is often the culprit, because the two arms of the stop yoke overlap form the motorboard to the motorboard frame. Check this link to a photo of what I mean. The yoke is circled in white. http://s197.photobucket.com/albums/aa39/john9ten/ John Robles

It is pretty nice machine but is missing the crank, needle cup, motor board knob, and one large storage door knob................. ANYWAY............... After removing the screws that hold down the motor board (two in the front and perhaps a third in the rear center just in from the tonearm bracket), I have been unable to get the board to either swivel on a pivot or come up out of the top of the machine! What am I doing wrong? There is no movement of the motor board in any direction. It is stuck tight. Any suggestions about how to remove it? On the back of the machine there is a panel that seems to be held in with two brass screws on its bottom edge and also has two "acorn" wooden plugs at the top. I removed all of these and this panel too is stuck fast! What is going on?
