Phonograph motor fried??
#17

I get easily confused but if we are still trying to figure out if the phono motor is good, unplug the radio, take one wire off one side of the motor where it is most convenient and measure the motor's resistance. It should be quite low. If so, take a cut off A/C cord from some other appliance, we all save them, strip it and again with the radio unplugged, attach its leads to to the motor. Does it spin? Motor good? If so, time as Mike said to do some further "checking" of the A/C line trying to get there through switches.
Mike's statement may not be quite clear:
It is as simple as this: if the voltage does not get to the motor it drops on something else.
Perhaps better would be "if the voltage does not get to the motor it is stopped somewhere". A fairly easy testing with your meter once you figure out if there is power to the motor.
Best, Jerry
