Wurlitzer 2100 selection/reset problem

[marcol]

Good day.



My name is Marco and I have my own company in service/maintenance of guitar and music equipment in the netherlands. Recently I was asked by a family member to check his Wurlitzer 2100 because he wants to sell it.



The Wurlitzer did not work (except for the lighting) but I now have the Wurlitzer working. However, there are still a number of problems.. (note: I am not an experienced jukebox expert)



1. As soon as I turn on the jukebox and make a selection, it plays it nicely. Putting the record away again is also done well. Normally you should be able to make another selection while playing or after playing the first record. This doesn't work. The selection button does nothing after the first record. It seems to me that the latch selenoid is not reset after a record is inserted or by pressing the selection button. Anyone have experience with this?



2. One of the record lift arms is fairly rolling heavy so it does not come down far enough and thus stops/blocks the carousel. I've put some oil/grease in here and there but it doesn't help. Can't really figure out what makes it so heavy. Is there an adjustment option somewhere?



I have checked and cleaned all switch contacts. continunity is good.


(Last picture should be free play?)

The pictures with the green circle around it are the switches I mean. (Pictures are too big to upload here sorry)




Thanks in advance!

Hi Marco,
The push-button switch is the "test" or single, free play switch, designed for the repairman to use. The coil is the latch bar coil--
Did you buy a service manual yet- You NEED it-- as was request in the "Hi Newbies" post-Please ID items with the same wording as the factory used to prevent wrong info. Ron Rich

Manual is on the way. In meantime i’m studying this: www.carlhaines.com/jukebox/pdf/w2100adj2.pdf

I tried to explain everything with the correct parts names.
