2100 A REAL service manual

[Bosco]

Hello to all,

I might have asked this before and missed the answer.  If so, I apologize.  I am looking for an actual service manual.  I have a nice copy of the 1957 service manual for my W2100.  However, it is not a service manual.  It's more like a text book, naming parts, explaining operations.   No trouble shooting, no addressing issues.  It doesn't even cover changing the turntable belt.

I'm looking for an actual service manual, which covers removing parts, trouble shooting, general upkeep and maintenance.  Does one exist for the 2100 mechanism?  Because the mech was in use for several years, in several models, it doesn't have to be specifically for the 2100.

Bos--
I think you pretty much have all that was printed--from what little I know-- Didja read the above "sticky" about the "WurliTzer Group" ?
Might wanna check that out--maybe more info there ?? Ron Rich

From what I know there is no other manual available giving information how to maintain, change, disassemble, trouble shooting, etc.

2100 service manual has these chapters:
- Specifications
- Description
- Playrak
- Program Holders
- Electric Selector Asssembly
- Record Changer
- Sound System
- Parts Illustration
- Numerical Parts List
- Schematics: Functional Schematic, Wiring Diagram and Amplifier 532
It describes jukebox function.

This manual was never printed as a sole real book back then. It was only available as loose leaf collection to add to the Wurlitzer binder.

If your manual has about 95 pages then you should have all which was available back then.

Hi All,
Both Seeburg and WurliTzer had what was called (by Seeburg- at least) "Master Manuals". These were subscription editions, with current updates, sent out from time to time. They were intended for the professional service persons employed by operators, or the operator himself. Both companies ( as did AMi), ran "service schools" for these persons, so the manual was considered a supplement to the school.  Seeburg, after it was sold by JP, "compiled" the service manuals and printed model specific editions of a Service Manual--some of these "compilations" have many errors in them, as the person doing the "compiling" was not familiar with the phono models, nor which "update" was correct for that model.

Thank you Ron.
I never saw a "Master Manual" by Wurlitzer.

But we have a big binder of "Wurlitzer Slants" with some updates, schematics, installation instructions, accessories, etc. for various models starting with 1015 and 1080. But for model 2100 just from my memory there is no trouble shooting etc. included.

Hi Hildegard,
I have seen "binders" embossed only with the word "WurliTzer" on them used to contain that info- I don't recall the word "slants" being used-- but I'm old and have forgotten more then I ever knew --- LOL--Ron Rich

I just checked - they say "Service Slants". I attach a sample page.

I am very sure you still know and remember much more than you did forget so far!

And if not, it's just hidden somewhere in your large brain, waiting for being found. Like a "forgotten" item in the back of a drawer. It's still there!

Hi Hildegard,
I think, after viewing this "slant", I would consider it a "Bulletin" rather then any part of a manual ? Seeburg called these "Field Service Bulletins". Seeburg would re-issue the parts page with the added material(s) listed. ( Least that's what's running around in my large brain cavity---) Ron Rich
