[Phono-L] 4 spring credenza motor problem

[Barry Kasindorf]

In the 4 spring barrel, 2 of the barrels turn as the spring unwinds, if 
the barrels bind on something this can happen. Also I had one where the 
shaft was bent so the center spring barrels didn't turn correctly and 
only had 2 springs worth of power.
