Two-speed belt-drive turntable with DC-servo motor and static-balanced low mass polymer graphite straight pipe arm.

Pioneer PL-2 auto return malfunction
Submitted on May 23rd, 2009 by HenryJHi!
Anybody able to help me with a fix for this problem please?
I bought this turntable super-cheap at a general auction and have spent a lot of money getting it restored. But unfortunately the auto return function has gone haywire. As soon as you lift the arm to position it on the vinyl it decides that the record has finished and immediately return to the rest position without playing a note!
Is there anyone out there who can help me fix this problem please? The people who restored the turntable have said that it is a "clutch problem" and is unable to be fixed.
Appreciate any help you can give.
Cheers, Chris
"Clutch problem????"
Submitted on October 23rd, 2009 by torskdocGet the SM for the PL4 or PL5. The tonearms and mechanisms are the same. UNDER The tonearm inside is a pin that contacts the arm that engages the gear. The pin is out of alignment, due to someone not aligning the parts when assembling.
It's fairly easy to figure out. But hard to explain on mail.
I just fixed a PL-460 with basically the same problem using the PL-4 manual.
