Akai AP-L45- Help Lift?

Akai AP-L45- Help Lift?



Vintage tangential reading turntable, this is a masterpiece of Japanese engineering of the not indifferent weight of 11 kg.

I found it on the net recovered from a market and actually a little badly reduced in aesthetics, the electronics in itself seems to work everything but a small problem that I have to solve and that of the embrace that does not work, clearly compromising the correct operation of everything.

I therefore ask if someone already had to deal with this turntable with similar problems and how he solved it thanks Giampietro Italia Treviso

Meanwhile, thank you for the answer, I found this turntable in a market aesthetically very neglected in the, but connected to the current it seems to work everything. The engine runs regularly the arm moves all the controls work they are the one that controls the Lift, the arm always remains raised and I can't lower it. On the net I found the user manual but I can't understand which electric motor commands the Lift. (pag. 37 of the manual)

Thank Giampietro
