NSM Satellite 200 carriage problem: ERR FF

We have a NSM satellite 200. Unfortunately without a manual.
It's a great jukebox, but currentely not running properly after a few weeks of inactivity. Before it was running (oke).

Here's what is happening:
If the machine has been switched on with the carriage positioned all the way to the right the carriage will remain in that position until you make a recordselection.
After the selection the carriage begins to run to the left. The carriage doesn't pick up a record and stops before if reaches the left side, goes slightly to the right and then back to the left and stops. At this point "ERR. FF" is displayed.
The only way to clear the error is to power off the jukebox. During the running of the carriage the display doesn't count any numbers, it starts at 100 and after its run 260 is displayed.

We have replaced the optical sensor CNY 70 on the front of the carriage, but that didnt help.

Any ideas would be gratefully received. If any has a manual for the jukebox that would be appreciated aswell.

thanks in advance.

Flip.. The Satelite is not counting, so it does not know where it is on the rack. The counter sensor is buried in the carriage. Remove the carriage and turn it upside down, from memory, I think you need remove screws from the circuit board.

The sensor is driven off the main drive cog, it is approx. 2.5cm round and has a disc with two pararel rows of holes.

You might find a replacement or you can repair it if you can find small enough LEDs and sensors
