My player operates normally until about 50 to 55 minutes into play and then develops a locked groove condition (frozen video image) or repeats the same minute or so of video over and over. I understand these players would exhibit the 50 minute cutoff with the cover on, but it would go away with the player cover removed. The question is, how do I remove the cover? Do I unscrew the screws on the back of the player or underneath the player? I would appreciate any and all advice I can get.

On the SGT-200, there should be a woodgrain-colored panel on the back of the top that slides off towards the rear of the player. I once had an SGT-200 that had this problem at the 2-minute position - at first I'd just pause it, pull the tonearm forward while pressing rapid-access forward, then take it back. That worked temporarily until I found that there was a lot of dirt/dust buildup in the rails that guide the tonearm, which was causing the trouble.
