Hi

I have a problem with my 454 Jukebox

After playing a 45 the gripper that chooses the record gets stuck in
the record holder.
I have to shake the record holder to release the gripper

Can anyone help as I dont have a manual


Thanks

Dovers

You need to work some SAE 20 Wt ND oil into the gripper unit. Ron Rich

Thanks Ron

I have never heard of this oil
I hope its available in Australia
Have you heard of WD40? It's a oil lubricant spray that you use on parts

Dovers,
I strongly suggest that you never use "WD-40" ANYwhere near ANY "juke-box" ( or anything else for that matter !)
The WD-40 company makes a 20wt ND oil which is sold here under the trademark "3 in ONE" (electric) Motor oil.
Check with good "automotive stores" Ron Rich
