Jim,
Telefunken Import for US or did some one bring it over? .... ie was the unit 
ever setup for 60Hz if it is running fast then it may have the wrong pully 
(50HZ) on the motor...

Thanks everyone for yout encourangement. The nproblem was a missing return
spring on the reject linkage. It's running like a champ. Infact, the motor
is running a tad fast, but I won't worry about that.

Thanks again,
