Hi Dan-
Some corrosion on the post that the cueing cam assembly rotates on was preventing it from freely turning-so the catch lever would never "lock" into the ON position. Cleaning that up, removing all of the old grease that I could find got the ole LAB 80 running again. Now if I could just get the adjustment of the Eccentric screw on bottom correct to make it turn OFF when the arm gets to the middle of a record on "Manual" play!!! Garrard engineers really made things complicated-must have all been mechanical engineers!
Cheers-Dave
