Re: Attn: "Newbies"

If you have an understanding of the correct terminology then at least we have a chance of helping you with your issues. Regards Alan Alan Hood ami-man UK Alan, all that is nice but.... The uneducated/untrained/uninformed will always be confused as to specific parts, etc. The internet is limited in ...

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

Hi Ron, I read the manual until my eyes crossed. It does make more sense each time I read and do something. However, I found that I was unable to fix the problem. I took the unit ti Warren Rowe. I glad I did because I met one of the finest persons I have met in my 68 years. Now, he didn't have an ea...

Sorry Mr. Rich. I don't speak juke box berry well yet and I do have the manual. Therefore I will admit to not looking at it for the coin apparatus. It's on the first page. Anyway, it has 4 switches and looks like the one in the factory manual. I'll look for the credit wheel if I can't get it to work...

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

3 switches if you're talking about the ability to change the number of plays per coin in the adjacent box. Will follow the instructions to clean, thank you. Funny, it does look newer and cleaner than most of the components in the cabinet. I try to search and read as much as possible before asking qu...

NR Model # 1-22-000 NDOH. The letters are scratched and that's my best estimate.

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

Update: I have one side working reliably. I still think the lift arm on the other side is bent, but I'm happy to be able to play any letter using odd numbers. Usually only one good or A side on a 45 anyway. Which brings me to a new problem starting to develop. I know I need to start learning about t...

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

Well, I'm back to say that my rubber fabricated lift 'cradles" seemed to work pretty well. However, I still have a problem hitting the guide plate/kill switch. That thing is so sensitive. I think It's time to throw in the towel and get some help. The only people I know in this game so far are R...

Re: Attn: "Newbies"

What's funny is that when the newbie like me learns the names of the parts per the manual the repair guys with the real experience have their own names for the parts. For instance, the "lift arm guide tips" in my Wurly 2800 are called duckbills by Rob-NYC . :wink: :? But I agree wholeheart...

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

The vendor is listed and it's Victory Glass. Zucarro had me call Denny to see if there was any kind of upgrade like you suggested (metal) and he wasn't aware of any. I know I can make a better version of these but at 20 bucks a pop I'm going to limit my efforts. This has been an interesting enterpri...

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

Got it. I have never left any pins up but I may just have. I'll check it out. Meanwhile I have the duckbill back in place but I think it exceeds the 7/16th inch width max. I think it needs to be replaced with a new one. I'm getting closer. I'm playing a record on the right side as I type. Yep, the w...

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

I wish I had thought of that. Thanks . I guess I'll have to ask since I don't see it on the manual, how do I get the lift arm up inside the basket for better access to the ducklbill ass'y? I've been selecting an open slot and letting the record spindle turn as if a record was in place and playing. I...

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

Gentlemen, thank you both again. I do have 2-3 photos and/or detailed line drawings showing the correct assembly of the hinged parts, the shaft, the phenolic spacer, the V-spring and the screws. I see the one screw enters a tab on the bottom that not only holds the wings together (or apart, if you w...

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

And I've finished my prototype design. It's short piece of 3/8ths hard rubber tubing. One end has had all but a flap cut out and that flap will attach to the arm with the screw. The other just has a V cut out with a high speed disc.

I'll let you know.

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

Thank you Ron. I'd love to not have the thing jam, believe me. I just put a half turn on the lower adjustment screw and that's all because the plate was already 3/64ths skewed. I started to play a record and the duckbill flipped open this time and hit the plate jamming the carousal one more time. Th...

Re: I'd like to hook up with a Wurlitzer 2800 expert...

Mr. Rich, I have the service manual. I should have mentioned that and the fact that I have reviewed it many times. The way I see it is the manual makes little sense at first except to learn the proper names of the parts as you so often advise people to do so they may better communicate. After diggin...
