   Rowe R88 selection problem   
   13 Jan 16 09:56:49   
   
   Greetings,    
      
   My R88 started exhibiting some strange behavior lately, it is playing the   
   record a few beyond the one selected on the keypad.   
      
   I have noticed, when first powering it on or when flipping the service switch   
   off and then fully on again, the initial revolution of the carousel now goes   
   101 positions, e.g. if the carousel is in position 25 when off, turning it on   
   causes the carousel    
   to revolve fully but going one extra position to stop on position 26.   
      
   Each subsequent record selected makes this worse, e.g. four records selected   
   and it is now off by five or more.  Sometimes the number of extra slots added    
   is random/more than just one.   
      
   Switching the service switch off and on again resets this offset to just being   
   off by one, but I can no longer get the juke to play the selected record at   
   any time.   
      
   I swapped out the mech controller this morning but nothing changed.  I will   
   swap the CCC tonight.   
      
   I am hoping it is not the opto because that looks like something that is hard   
   to replace... that is placed behind the turntable at the bottom of the mech,   
   yes?   
      
   Has anyone seen this problem before?  Could it be something besides the CCC or   
   the opto?   
      
   Thanks,   
   -Chuck
