Greetings all,
I must be sitting on my brain but I can work out that 'Stop' function on that turntable.
Every other function works as should but 'Stop' doesn't seem to do a thing ??
What am I missing here ? Which components are most likely-suspects ?
I checked various caps and diodes, changed TR11 but no impact.
Anyone any good ideas ?? I wonder whether section 'b' of 15RL1 gets enough voltage ?
Simply put: i am stuck at the moment, so your ideas are most appreciated
Cheers, ALF
These decks are known to develop oxdiation inside the front panel contacts, particularly if not used for a long time.The STOP button is not one of the most used buttons, so I suggest you try using a little "controlled fingerforce" andpress it a little harder than you normally would 15-20 times and see if you can break through the oxidation.If not, it needs taking apart and cleaning.

Many thanks for the advice Martin :-)
Under normal circumstances an easy job but someone was so clever and clued that control board, meaning I won't be able to do some cleaning - great !!!!
perfectly logical that the Stop button won't be used very often and I guess I could live
With the Pause function with the additional 'job' of moving the arm into its resting position - big deal :-):-)
Will however try to apply some contact-cleaner-spray through the gaps with the hope some finds its way onto the contact surface ??!!
Only need a tiny cleaned area:-)

I tried the contact cleaner but without any luck !
As I can not have access to the switch I may have to leave it there unless
There is another dead component involved on the board 1 ???
