   Seeburg Electra only plays B sides

   Here is a link to my Google Drive folder with pictures of the mech:

   Fresh purchase, was working 100% the first day, then nest day started playing   
   too slowly, and rejecting records mid-tune. I turned it off, turned it back on   
   and it returned the record to the rack, scanned all the way to the left, and   
   stopped. No response    
   to selection inputs. I turned it back off and manually turned the motor shaft   
   until the mechanism clicked. I turned it back on, and it scanned to the right   
   and parked, as it should. I lubricated everything according to the manual, and   
   now the records    
   play at the correct rpm, but now only "B" sides will play (all the selections   
   on the lower half of the "Selection Now Playing" indicator). Any "A" side   
   selection will scan twice and park.   
      
   Did the battery test, same result - played every B side in order, right to   
   left, then scanned twice and parked. No A sides played.   
      
   I notice that when it scans now, the light in the "Selection Now Playing"   
   indicator is always on the lower row. I can recall when it was working,   
   sometimes the light would scan on the top row, and sometimes the bottom row.    
      
   Any and all thoughts are appreciated.   
      
   All the best,
