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!

need to remove the mechanism in order to check the connections in all the
plugs related to the keyboard and Tormat and look for damaged Molex pins? When
I got the jukebox, it was
not working. Lights came on, but the mechanism was stuck all the way to the
right (when looking from the back). After researching a LOT, I felt confident
enough to remove the mechanism, which I did. I oiled the motor, and manually
turned the coupling
until a full cycle was complete. It seemed to have been stuck in the play
position. I sprayed the contacts (only the few that I saw....I'm sure I missed
some) with contact cleaner. I replaced everything, and it started scanning! I
did the battery test,
and it picked up every #2 side, but none of the #1 sides.

back to my original question...do I need to remove the mechanism again in
order to check for damaged connections or pins? Stupid question #2: is the
tarmat part of the whole
mechanism that comes out? Where, exactly, is it? Thanks for tolerating my
ignorance!
