I am playing a record that is slightly smaller than the standard 33.3 record (not quite a 45). However, the tone arm is returning to rest about half way through the final track of each side. Any suggestions?
The adjustment for auto return position is normally at the tone arm base on the left side under a rubber grommet. Use a flat blade screw driver to move adjustment screw, then test. Keep fine tuning until arm lifts at desired position. Cheers John. Stylus City NZ

Hi, Try this. with it turned off. Lift tone arm across a record to the run out groove and set it down. Now power up and hopefully it will reset itself. In all honesty I would sell it and get a decent old school player. John. Styluscity.com

Haven't worked on one of these, but there is an end of travel arm sensor that needs adjustment, or is possible broken. You will have to get inside to check it out, and adjust or fix it.
If you don't feel comfortable fixing it yourself, contact Crosley support:

Good luck, and hope this helps.

It would appear you have a problem with the "Cuing mechanism" this is quite a common problem. This link below will assist you to understand about it.

What you need to do is locate a service manual for your exact make and model, in there you will find the necessary troubleshooting steps to take to isolate and cure your issue. However I have had a look and have been unable to locate any, perhaps a direct approach to the manufacturer may yield one?
It can often simply be a faulty switch, the "Mode Switch" this is simply replaced, however to obtain this one ,must have the parts number, the ONLY place this is available is in a service manual. Sometimes it is the belt or drive? it is usually something quite simple, often it's obvious once the TT is disassembled.
should you not wish to DIY, simply find a competent Turntable repair place and ask first for a "Quote" once appraised of the costings etc, then go from there.
