Wurlitzer SL-800 not booting?

[beterthnyu]

I finally came across a local jukebox to grab and try to repair.



Its a Wurlitzer SL-800.



I went through it when I get it home and tested everything that I could, but Im kind of stuck really where to start.



When turned on all of the lighting comes on, the main florescent lights and the flashers are flashing. I can hear the amp start up, but then nothing at all happens.



I checked all of the fuses and went through the documentation to test the carousel and it spins, the record spins, and the arm can move.



All of the LEDS are on on the credit computer, and the credit light on the computer flashes when a quarter goes through.



I get NOTHING on the display panel, no lights at all. I tested the cables to make sure they werent broken and got continuity all the way to the display.



Anyone have any clue where I should go from here?

What is a WurliTzer sl-800? Is this a WurliTzer GMBH model ?? What does it play ?? Ron Rich

This is model SL800 - right, produced by Deutsche Wurlitzer from 1985 - 1988: www.jukebox-world.de/Forum/Archiv/Dt.%20Wurlitzer/SL800.htm
It uses same technology like first OMT vinyl models.

First I recommend to get a service manual if your documentation is any other.
Check with Victory Glass or Always Jukin for a manual for models 1986/87. It offers

Check the light barrier lamp if it is faulty. It is a small Ba7s lamp. I am not 100% sure but I think not all LEDs should be on. They should react at a certain point only.
Of course a problem with the SCC (selection credit computer) is possible too. In that case I would check with John Robertson in Canada.
I think he can test and repair these units.
