This is probably a long shot, but I%26#39;m having trouble operating my record player. It%26#39;s brand new, so the fault lies with me, I%26#39;m sure. There are three switch settings, off, on, and auto. It also has a swing arm that sits above the needle arm or hovers over the label depending on where I put it.
One, what is the swing arm for? Sometimes the needle won%26#39;t move to the record and sometimes it does, depending on where I put the swing arm, but the swing arm never moves on its own.
Two, when I set the switch to auto, it doesn%26#39;t stay, and sometimes clicks back through on to off.
I basically can%26#39;t figure out what combination of positioning of the swing arm and switch the record player wants me to use. I and up trying different combination until it works, but there isn%26#39;t a pattern that I can see.
What does the darn thing want me to do?
Answer: The swing arm is swung over the label and set down onto a record (or stack of records) which is propped up on the little latch near the top of the center post. When you press the selector briefly to "Auto" it initiates the automatic sequence to drop the bottom record onto the platter and then move the tone arm over to the beginning of the record groove.
At the end of the first record, the tone arm will then move out of the way and the next record will drop down on top of the first. The needle then moves back to play the second record.
This process should repeat itself until all the records have been played and then the player will shut itself off because the swing arm has now dropped downward as well, which is its cue that there are no more records to be played.
Pretty clever old mechanical technology, huh?
