   Hi, Andy!  I realize that I am replying to an ancient post, but I figured it   
   wouldn't hurt to try.  I have the same issue with the exact same jukebox.  You   
   mentioned that you straightened out the contact for side A selections because   
   it was slightly bent.   
     Could you please explain where this contact is located?  I'm not sure where   
   to look!  Thanks, so much!
