I have a Garrard 42M that I recently bought and put through the usual cleaning and re-lubing. I managed to get is all working, except for one issue.
When I use the cycle function it is able to drop a single LP without a problem. But if I put more than one LP in the stack it won't even drop the first one. I tried various other records on the bottom, and various number in the stack. But it will not function correctly.
I noticed what appears to be an anamoly but with only 1 changer to look at I'm not sure. When it cycle the small inner lever that pushes the record on the bottom over so it can drop down, before it goes to the right, it goes to the left away from the direction it is supposed to go.
I am thinking perhaps I have the roller that moves that in the wrong place on the cycle cam. Anybody have a Garrard 42M or similar they can look at? Confirm that it does not go left and then right, but only to the right and back to drop a record.

Just to add some info. I started the process of pulling the mech back out, and was pushing around in there and the was a snap and click, like something snapped into place. Then the changer started working right. So I put it back to gather and enjoyed it for a couple of stacks. I decided to put the center hub cover back on, and pulled the spindle to do that. Now the changer won't do a stack again.
