Title: Sansui FR 5080
Post by: GWH on October 28, 2014, 09:38:55 PM

The motor is suck in a constant on. The tone arm plays and returns and then plays again. It will not shut off. I am going to clean and re lube it. Should I use Deoxit to clean it? What should I use to lube it? Any pointers or suggestions?

Have you checked out the service manual in vinylengine.com?  It sounds more like a micro-switch (leaf switch?) problem than cleaning and lubing.
