Ampico B Spool Stalls During Rewind
By Stephen B. Small

My Ampico B has a problem.  It plays great, but on re-roll the
take-up spool turns only momentarily and then locks up.  Switching the
power on and off sometimes helps temporarily.   It is not the re-roll
motor itself, it is apparently a mis-tubing or another pneumatic or
mechanical issue.

Does anyone know what this could be, i.e., where something may be
incorrectly tubed or other mechanical issue that would cause the
take-up spool to be braked on re-roll only?  It came back this way
after a rebuild.  I would greatly appreciate instruction on how to
remedy this as it would seem to be a simple issue to one knowledgeable.
Thanks in advance.
