The issue descibed may be caused by the record stabilizer arm not tripping the otherwise hidden"seesaw" lever after the last record drops. That lever could be bent also.
This is preventing the stepped cam from advancing and putting the tonearm on its perch.
Most of my BSR experiences involve horrid grease-turned-glue. After heating the spindle, using nutbuster penetrant, it would not let go until I started beating on the spindle "sleeve" just to get the platter off. A guy on youtube, showing BSR repair, had it easy compared to this.
I have repaired enough BSR's and agree that once cleaned and lubed, they are good units and reliable. Certainly better than any of low priced record players of late.
