RE: BIC 960 Turntable

The way that works is the plastic pins that stick down from the big red cam operate the programing cam (which is also red plastic and has the teeth on it.

As the cycle is occurring, the programing cam gets pushed over and the programing extension (the metal rod from the program control - this is beginning to sound more and more like Monty Python \:^) moves one notch down in the metal base plate. The spring pulls it down one when the red programing cam tooth moves out of the way.

What SHOULD happen on the last record is the arm should move to the record edge first and then the control should then move to "MAN"

There was a production error with some of the big red cams. There should be two pins sticking down but they made some of them with three pins and that can cause the problem you're having because the third pin pushes the programing cam over an extra time and the program extension can then move down an extra notch each cycle.

Look to see how many pins are on your cam and get back to us.
