I desperately need help with a BSR changer.
I can handle some simple things with servicing these turntables - getting the platter off, cleaning and relubricating the parts under there and the motor.
But, the changer mechanism is a mess of lots of moving parts that all do a bunch of magic as far as I'm concerned.
I have a BSR C198 changer that was doing funky things with the arm. I reached out on a facebook group devoted to BSR turntables hoping they could point me to someone local to service it. Instead, some moron insists he can walk me through it, I insisted he could not, he broke me down, and once he got me to a point where I couldn't get anything back together, blocked me, leaving me with a disassembled mess.
I got to a point where I took out a clip to lubricate a part that was not moving smoothly, and instead of it being a post I could lift the part off of, it was a pin with a spring that fell down from a spot impossible to lift it back into without more extensive disassembly. By this point I could barely remember where the parts I already took off went, and the guy blamed me and blocked me.
Further asks for help on the facebook group went nowhere.
I did manage to get things put back together without the fallen out part and the part it holds back in, to have as much as I can back in it's right spot while I figure out the next move - although I ended up with an extra e clip that I need to figure out where it goes.
Given how bad these attempts always go, I really desperately need someone local that can service it for money, or someone that can assist or help.....but online help guiding me through it, documents, pictures, videos - that will just get me in more trouble with this thing.
Please, for the love of god, someone help! I bend over backwards for anyone anytime I can when I see someone in need of help, but there never seems to be any karma that comes back my way when I need it. Hopefully my luck can start changing soon.
