Rowe AMI repair JAL unit

[1452spunky]

Ok, first, thanks for this forum and anyone that chooses to help others...I participate in many forums, but one that I am an expert in...this is NOT one of them...lol

Ok, it is a JAL Rowe AMI unit. Everything has been gone through and adjusted as per my manual...I can follow manuals and Maintenance fine.

Here is the issue, once the arm goes all the way across the record, I here the magnet switch connect, it does mute, but it doesn't kick in the relay to start back up. In other words, the needle just sits there in the groove.
I reached down and touched the relay that is below all this and with the slightest touch, continues the full process...I checked all the wires to the relay, even resoldered them. Not sure how to test this relay, if that is the issue...soooo, how would I test this relay ( yes I have a tester, but no expert at using it )? If its not the relay, where would I look next ? I have a wiring diagram book as well, again, it might as well be in Chinese...

I have this machine sold to a friend, but have now spent a few days trying to track down this last issue. I would even have no problem in paying someone to help my via phone and pay them thru paypal...

Please help and I appreciate it !!
