Hello good people.
This is my first post, sorry to bother you guys with this.
I have a "old" Marantz TT120 that has mechanical issues. By that I mean:
The motor will not start by moving the arm. It will start if I "force" it by activating the inside switching mechanism - so it is no electrical issue, just mechanical.
The arm will not come back to the rest position after I click the "reject" button.
I am pretty positve this is something (or some things) out of place, a spring, a piece of plastic, a gear, whatever.
I can not find a service manual for it - although I think "vynilengine" site has it, but new user registration are disabled, so I can not access it.
Does anyone have the service manual for this TT that could share?
Can anyone help?
thank you so much!
Cheers!

HI. If you do not have a solution, I have just fixed my old Marantz from the 80s. I had the same problem as you and found out that a screw on the far end side of the arm needed to be tightened around the axle going down to the mechanics handling the start. You then need to set the mechanics in the position, before tightening the screw, which starts the motor at the right position but also lifts and takes the arm back to rest position when the record is done.
