   It would be more helpful if you include the model # of your machine. By the   
   selection numbers you listed I'm guessing you have a 50's model. Your problem   
   could be caused by a gripper motor (the one that transfers the record to the   
   turntable) that needs    
   new brushes, needs oiled, or taken apart & cleaned (not a beginner project).   
   When it happens try turning the little shaft that sticks out the back of the   
   motor. If this starts it running, it needs servicing.   
   Always Jukin' magazine lists repair people by location. You can view a sample
