When a jukebox goes wrong like that it is usually something simple unless the room is full of smokeReading the manual several times will learn you what does what and what it is called, An old jukebox likes to be used so play it at least once a week even if it is just 2 or 3 records. And remember what I said about the credit button, Only press it for the records you going to select at the time, don't leave the latch bar solenoid energised all night.(refer to annual)
Give me a ring anytime Roger I will help if I can.. pleased you got t working Harry
Hello Harry ,
Yes I know I should have rung you but didn't want you to think I was complaining about the jukebox , silly me not a very good reader is me .
been working hard so not much time to play the jukebox , Will only play one at a time and it is turned off at the mains at night . Will ring you if I need to .
Thanks Roger .

Hi Roger , The lever on he front of the mech next the right of the tone arm is the trip lever, it can be used to manually trip the mech while scanning to stop and play a record, And while playing the record if you flip it again it will eject the record. If you oil the mech in future use 2 in1 electric motor oil it has the blue electric motor on the front of container, if you cannot get hold of any then use good quality sewing machine oil. Harry.

Hi Ron, I know, I know, but it will be better than GTX Or Castrol, Or Butter. If Roger can't get hold of the good stuff can't get it over here very easily. Tom..

Hi Tom,---er, Dick--ah, Harry,
I really dono--just know I have cleaned thousands of mechs, that were filled with various sticky "substances" ?
I guess that it's better then the very HIGH priced "snake oil" that's being sold on ePay as "Best for (You name it)---"

Harry,
By golly, you Brits are still sharp ! My Grandma was from London. I can recall sitting in her kitchen whilst she was cooking (come o think of it, I don't recall any time she wasn't cooking ! ), and just talking with her. She had an exemplary command of English, and could make me laugh so hard my sides would hurt. As I grew older, her "stories" became some what risque--but never did she utter a "nasty word". About the time she had me so sore that I begged her to quit, she usually walked over to the fridge and asked what I wanted to eat--I miss her-- Ron Rich
