Hi All, Can anyone tell me if I can/should clean the inside of the Catalin Plastics on my Wurlitzer 750 without damaging them , they have stain lines down them ! If so what is the best cleaner to start with.
Hi I'm sure it's not if its the type I'm thinking of, your festival 160 uses a carriage without a rubber band drive belt The Carriage you need is used in the Prestige es 160 ( not the es 160 2) the city 1 and the es 160 hideaway It has a sure needle and a metal tone arm not a black tone arm used on ...
I always change all Micro switches as the originals fail eventually! You can see what's going on easier if you disconnect the gripper motor from the gear and cycle the gripper by hand( turn the gear with your fingers ) when it gets to the point where it should reset try manually activating the micro...
Hi Re City rejecting If the Carriage has a BS switch it can cause this if it's faulty and usually comes with a high pitched screaming noise when rejecting. The BS switch is a roller micro switch on the right side lower front of the carrige and is atttached to a plastic holder by one screw. Good luck
Hi Rob, Thanks for the reply I have a photo copied manual for the 2150 I did look at those two switches but they looked fairly new and certainly one seemed to work correctly as when I activated it by hand the search motor would operate then stop on realease. I guess the only way to be sure would be ...
Hi All, I have a problem with a Wurlitzer 2150 Jukebox of around 1957 I think The fault is that the buttons and hence the number and letter solenoids stay energized for too long before release(around 2 or 3 seconds)and I was told that sometimes for longer- the correct selections are made and everyth...
Hi Curtis, The subtract lever and spring are missing on the pawl you will see a slot for the lever to go through, these are often removed to "freeplay" the jukebox, I have a stack of these as 99% of the rock-olas I sell go out on freeplay
Hi Ron and Rob, Thanks for your time on this again. Sorry if I'm confusing the matter but the fault is the mech plays the next record in the slot not the wrong side of the record. If I adjust the TMU so it plays A sides correctly when I select A 3 the plunger is slightly on to the next rivet - this ...
Hi All, Lots of adjusting and head scratching but the fault is still with us! I am suspecting a part on the mechanism known as the dash pot - anyone had problems with one of these ? It seems a bit slopy to say the least. To recap the fault is the mechanism stops too early and picks out the wrong rec...
Hi Again, still one problem with the Seeburg. Fitted a new tormat all good but the juekbox is not selecting properly and can't seem to find anything in the manual that relates to this problem. When A sides are selecting Bsides are one slot out and visa versa, I have tried the tormat in it seems like...
As I said the machine is working but has a broken ferrite ring, this causes the same selction to play every scan so not great! I rewired the new tormat from a later jukebox using the old edge connector and rca plug from the original ( changing the wires at the tormat block) - this is a bit tedious a...
Hi All, Many thanks to Ron and Rob for your quick response and great info. Its FIXED!! After a days searching and eventually going around in circles I had got nowhere - lots of "ah this must be the problem" but no joy, but after a good nights sleep and some more research things were lookin...
Hi All, I have a selection problem with a Seeburg L100 and know very little about Seeburgs so hoping someone can help. There are 5 selections that won't register, they are all along the Six row (Bsides) and alternate The numbers are B6 D6 F6 H6 K6 I have checked the wirng on the button bank and butt...
