Hi
I have this turntable, a Sony PS-FL1. Should I describe it first? It has a modular table that slides out with the help of a motor. Here's a pic I found on Google.

Its fully automatic with three microprocessor controled motors... the motors control the turntable, tonearm and turntable module.
The problem: The tonearm will not lower. If i press play the module closes, the record spins and the tonearm moves over the record but will not lower.
What I've fixed so far, I replaced this small incandecent lamp that sits in the back which the unit uses to determine if there is a 45 or 33 on it. The tonearm moves accordingly, this feature works.
So basically I think the motor that lowers the tonerarm might need replacing?
Anyone have any ideas on this problem?
Are parts available for this TT??
thanks
John
