So That's Where That Goes ~ Monday, July 03, 2023

This was both an aha monent and a @#!$(& moment. The part on the left is the "half nut" from the #Amberola #RecordPlayer. It rides on the feedscrew and pulls the reproducer/stylus along. On the right is a piece of broken metal I found in the bottom of the case, which I now realize is an extension of the spring-metal strip the half nut is attached to. I think this supposed to give the reproducer a little bounce, and *not* having it is why the stylus is dragging heavily and slowing the whole machine down. This is going to take some thinking.
