Wurlitzer 2500, 1961 Won't eject record

by Granger » Sat Jun 07, 2008 3:12 pm

Hello
I have an original wurlitzer 1960's series jukebox. It has been overhauled and worked perfectly until the last move. Now it won't eject at the end of a record. I thought it was a minor adjustment but I don't know how to do it. Does anyone know how to fix this?
Thanks for any ideas.

Well--did you bolt the phono "down for shipping"?--I assume that you are saying that the record won't leave the turntable after playing? If so, you will need to do a little troubleshooting, as more details are needed to diagnose the problem.
Is the "mechanism shelf" sitting on all four springs, or did one or more springs (or anything else) fall out (into the works)?
Will the cancel button on the phono rear remove the record? Do you hear the motor attempt to operate when you push that button? Is the record mechanically bound ? Will the audio "mute"?
Any other info you provide will help

Thanks....No...I didn't know anything about bolting the phono down. I had no Idea about doing that.

Yes...the record won't leave the turntable.
I don't see any springs missing.
The record does leave the turntable if I push the cancel button in the back of the machine, or if I manually push the arm further along after the end of the record.

This indicates that you have either "bounced" it enough that the trip switch adjustment has changed, or that the switch itself, has become defective.
I suggest that if you do not have a service manual, that you purchase one, and consult the very detailed instructions for adjusting that switch. If you don't feel that you have the skills needed to do that, you will need to "find a friend", with the needed skills, or call a "pro"--
