   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
