I cant seem to figure out why these don't work, I replaced all caps already, reseated the machine parts, and relubed most things.

I’ve been working on restoring a Saba 360 / Braun PC S 5 turntable, and it’s now almost fully serviced and running well overall. Mechanically it’s in great shape, and I’ve gone through the contacts and wiring multiple times, cleaning and checking everything thoroughly with a meter.

However, there’s one issue I can’t pin down: the right channel has a loud buzz that comes and goes. Strangely, when I turn the motor on, the channel sometimes comes back to normal, but not consistently. I can’t find a clear pattern, and it’s making troubleshooting pretty frustrating.

Given that all the obvious points and contacts, wiring continuity, grounding seem to check out, I’m wondering if anyone familiar with these tables has run into something similar. Could this be related to internal grounding behavior, the muting circuit, or something tied to the motor itself?

Would really appreciate any insight or direction before I start tearing deeper into it.
