Hi and welcome,
This is one case where having a "service manual" would be of no help--remember you are dealing with a "Coin Operated Phonograph", that was never designed to be played for "free". In order to jury-rig it for free play, I usually remove one screw from the subtract relay, and simply spin it so it can not strike the credit wheel when fired. Be sure to tighten the one remaining screw well. Ron Rich
