Wurlitzer 3000 help

[travis]

Hey guys I just got this jukebox from my parents. They had it for years and it worked fine up until a few years ago and it ended up sitting until I picked it up a few weeks ago.

Symptoms are when you select something the selector makes the selection but fails to start the mechanism. I bought a service manual and started troubleshooting. Right off I noticed that the record carrier does not want to turn like it should by hand. I found that both record lift arms are sitting much to high and thats why it wont turn. The manual has a lift arm retracted adjustment but this is not just a little off it seems like they are way too high. Plus the mechanism is on the front side and I dont see any easy way to access it without pulling out the whole assembly. I dont see any easy way to pull the front off to access it.

Also I see the manual is talking about a service switch and I cant find it anywhere inside. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Travis,
RTFM-- the service switch is located on the right side of the cabinet. I would suggest that you NOT power it up, till you are able to clear the jammed lift arms ! Look for a broken, or "welded" leaf in the mute/play, and transfer switches. Look for a blown fuse-- do not replace it till you find the problem, as you will just blow another one ! See our FAQ's section for "over-center switches" and "contact" cleaning. Ron Rich

Here are pics of the mute/play switch. Im not sure how the leafs are numbered but leaf 2&3 from the left never touch in either position. Should these be touching only when the switch is moved to the right?

Travis,
Whatz the point of having switches that never close ? What is the function of these ?--

And I just spotted the cause. The bar on top that would pull the leaf over is broken. Any suggestions on how to fix? Or should I try and find a replacement.

Travis,
I have never been able to repair one of these-- but if I see correctly, it appears the left end of the actuating bar has broken off--If that's correct, how about using a light string, wrapped around the leaf switch, and glued to the actuator ? Ron Rich
