I've got a Philips 212 in my restoration stack, which has a problem I have
not run into with them before... I hope someone else has seen this.

When the motor is under a load, such as during startup, the unit wants to
switch to "stop". I can hold my finger across the touch pad surfaces long
enough for it to come up to speed (both 33 and 45), but the slightest drag
on the platter causes it to stop (and the stop pad illuminates). Clearly the
extra current demand is the root of the problem, but I don't recall this
version having a very advanced servo system (IOW placing the arm on an LP
will drag a 212's speed down a bit). Here, it's as though instead of
dragging down a bit - it shuts down.

This example is in minty looking condition - I hate to junk/part it out...
ditto for fixing it vs. selling it as a fixer. Input please???
