Wurlitzer lubrication chart

I have the manual for the 2500 series which is the most comprehensive of all the manuals I've had. The only problem is there is no lubrication chart in it. Does anyone have a copy that they can provide? Thanks.

I don't think WurliTzer ever produced one ?? Most of their service manuals mention it in print, but, I have never seen a "chart".

I would tend to think that the service manuals were written for servicers - with experience in the mechanicals, and the common sense to know where and what to lubricate.
Rubbing, sliding, revolving parts are a natural to this genre of servicer.

Since all people are born knowing what and where to lubricate and no one ever wants to learn the basics of lubrication, why make up charts to teach those that do not automatically know where to place lubrication?

Hi Matt,
Yes--that's true--also true, was the fact that this was a "specialized business", in that the Jukebox makers sold 99% of their product to "operators", and almost all of them ran "Service Schools" for operators service people. I think I have been to one, or 2, WurliTzer "school's", as I was sorta, "persona non-grata" , at WurliTzer, since I worked for Seeburg. ( OK-the last part, is NOT true, by a long shot

--I was friendly with, and treated very well, by both the WurliTzer, and AMi distributor personnel here. I also attempted to treat them in the same manor !) Ron Rich
