Hello everyone,
I am new to these forums and the art of jukebox repair alike. A few months ago, I purchased a 1964 2810 Wurlitzer Jukebox that asides from being dirty, smoky and dusty, worked pretty well and had no problems-- except that it had one persistent issue, this machine suffered from something called the famous "Wurlitzer shuffle" where instead of the record carousel/basket spinning smoothly, it would spin "staccato" like in short movements and was acting on the " transfer switch" while everything else on the machine worked perfectly.
Fast forward to a few weeks ago and I've taken apart the machine and extremely meticulously cleaned every surface of it inside and out, the issue of the "Wurlitzer shuffle" was fixed but more problems have arisen... Now, the selector arms one each side both no longer work and do not bring up the record up to the spindle or do anything, the carousel seems to be trying to spin but is hindered by something (It spins about a inch or two, smoothly, but then stops.)
The reset button seems to also have stopped working, but when a selection is made via keyboard(works) the bottom selector below spins continuously, while the upper carousel does not UNLESS I manually trip the selector/mute switches, which I suspect could also be disadjusted and causing an issue.
Perhaps there is another issue I am overlooking or something I did not do correctly? I also have not been able to find images on what positions the selector/mute switches are supposed to be. Thank you very much and I look forward to joining this community.
