   The 'Operator' (Jukebox Route Operator) way to set this vintage of   
   Wurlitzer machine to Free Play, was to simply move the return spring on   
   the credit wheel so the wheel was always pulled to the maximum. To   
   return to Money Play gently lift one end of the spring off its pin and   
   move it so it goes around the spindle on the opposite side (do NOT   
   stretch the spring!!) so the cancel solenoid steps the wheel down to   
   open the 'Key Switch', and return to the pin.   
      
   As for having to press the buttons several times to activate the   
   selection you probably have either badly adjusted/dirty blade switches   
   on the 'Latch Solenoid' section, or the keyboard bank switches are   
   breaking down and need to be either bypassed for the defective section   
   or replaced with new bank switch (lots of soldering and wiring if needed!)
