|    Wurlitzer 2410S Help    |
|    26 Mar 14 17:22:53    |
      Hi              I was hoping someone can help me out.              A friend of mine has a few nice jukeboxes that have since developed some       problems.               The first machine in question, a Wurlitzer 2410S:                     1. There was a "credit" button switch that was installed and no longer       working. There is a slide switch inside the machine that this button is tied       into. If I understand correctly, there is a coil that engages when the right       amount of money is put in,        allowing you to make a selection. Either way, the coil that allows you to       make a selection is not engaging, so the selection buttons do not latch.              2. The selection light is not working. I checked the bulb and it is good.              3. The amplifier is not getting any power, the tubes are not glowing. This       should turn on with the machine correct?.               4. It looks like the only thing getting power is the fluorescent lights.                     This is what I did:              I went through the troubleshooting steps in the manual as much as I could.              Old fuses did not appear blown, I tested them with a continuity meter and they       were ok. Changed all of the fuses anyway.               Cleaned and adjusted all of the selection switches. They were filthy and       looked like that haven't been cleaned in a long time.               Cleaned and adjusted the switches inside the power distribution block and       underneath the carousel.              Checked the switches for the turntable and arm mechanism.              I also checked motor for any open circuits and it looks good I think. Two       terminal pins show open the other two do not.              The power distribution center box had the old filter caps replaced but whoever       did it, did a shoddy job. Some of the replacement caps weren't even soldered.              He said that before the machine completely stopped, he had intermittent       selection issues.               Can anyone provide some help? I'm not a jukebox expert by any means, though I       work on some pinball machines so I can do the basic troubleshooting but this       stuff is way over my head. He's been having a difficult time finding a tech       so he asked me to        look at his machines so I'd really like to help him out. Also, if anyone       knows of a reliable tech in the New Jersey area please let me know.                      Thanks,       Robert               --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
