hello all
i just brought home a 1965 zenith somerset console stereo.
it has a few issues that need to be taken care of but for the most
part its working well.the changer has rejectitis though and i cant
get it to stop? any ideas/suggestions? it also needs a new idler
as the original has gotten rock hard.im not against replacing the changer
also.im assuming i can pretty much drop in any vm changer of the era
but would prefer the same that is in there already.
thanks
joe

Joe,
By your description, the velocity trip link may be seized.
With the turntable platter removed you will be able to see the teeth of the main cycling gear at the bottom of the spindle. There is a gap in the gear teeth. The trip link is centered in that gap.
If the tone arm is manually moved toward the spindle, the trip link will extend out into the gap to catch the trip tooth on the turntable platter, engaging the cycle. The trip link can be manually pushed back to its fully retracted position with a small tool. It should move effortlessly.
The trip link may be gummed up or bent. The same for the slide linkage moved by the tone arm or manual reject control that activates the trip link.
