Wurlitzer 2400, selection buttons do not work.

[Jachu]

Hello, I'm new to the forum. I live in Poland and I speak very little English, but I write using a translator. I have the current manual for the 2400, it is in English and I translate it, but it is not easy. I got a Wurlitzer 2400 jukebox from my brother-in-law. It worked for him for 30 years or even longer. She has come a long way and reached me. The window and the overhead lamp were broken. After connecting to the power supply, the lower lamp works and there is current in the amplifier. The rest is without electricity. The "select" key is not lit, the selection keys do not turn on, there is no current on the coils under the keys. Nothing works, reset doesn't work. It was in a container, the contacts were green, but all the contacts I found were cleaned and preserved. All the fuses I found were checked and all are OK. I'm looking for help because this jukebox is magical.
Regards, Jachu.

p.s. If I described something incorrectly or posted it in the wrong place, I apologize. I couldn't understand everything I translated in the regulations, but I tried.

Slight correction. I was in a hurry with the diagnosis. There is no electricity anywhere. Only the bulb backlight works. The current enters the amplifier and only through it goes to the "power supply, stereo", here is the power socket for the light bulbs. All fuses are good, contacts cleaned and checked with an ohmmeter. I don't know where or why I lost electricity along the way. The electricity does not power anything except the light bulbs. Can anyone on the forum help me?

The safety switch? It's operated by the record guide assembly.

Thank you very much for the tip. The manual doesn't say much about it under the name "safety switch", especially when I translate it using a translator, it's hard to find it.
I checked it and it's probably broken because it gives an impulse in both positions. I took it apart and I don't understand why it has an impulse in every position. I ordered a new one.

[Jachu]

So yes... I translated every sentence on the forum related to the phrase "safety switch". And also in the manual where this name appears only in typical faults. There's not much there...
But Ron Rich writes from viperz that:
jukeboxaddicts.proboards.com/post/16894/thread
And I understand that this safety switch is the one that works like a "glass fan" - if it is placed sideways, it turns off everything. And this is understandable to me. I also saw a video on YouTube. But what is this spring switch (described in the manual in Fig. 81. Trip swich setting) activated by an arm with a needle? It has three wires and each of them has an impulse no matter how I position the switch lever. And I think it's broken, so I ordered a new one.
Yesterday I was so fascinated by Norman's information that I wanted to leave work just to quickly check if my jukebox was working again. My wife says she would rather I go to a bar for a beer than sit and stare at a broken jukebox for hours. That it's a disease and he's starting to worry about me. It's good that the jukebox is brought to the first floor, because it would have pushed the jukebox to the garage on its own a long time ago. I would like to pleasantly surprise my wife...

The red one marked in the photo 1. is the safety switch that Ron writes about, and the red 2. what is it for, how does it work and what position should it be in for the cooker cabinet to work?

Item 2 (the trip switch) is what is operated when the record has finished playing - to return the record to the carousel.

Thank you for the information. Please let me know how it should be set up in your free time.
Another topic:
The safety switch has a power supply of 114 AC, but when opening, when I close the arm, there is no current (according to my thinking, it is the opposite of what it should work with a "glass fan". However, when I check the same current a bit further, i.e. at the motor plug, there is no current both open and closed safety switches.

This is very difficult. The adjustment is quite simple and described in the service manaul. I appreciate that the manual is in English and it's not your language. But equally, my language is English and I cannot see how I can explain it much differently to the service manual which will also have pictures and diagrams to go along with the descriptions.

Thank you for your time. English, when you translate it, is not difficult because the whole world sometimes calls something in English. It's worse with technical words because in free translation sometimes everything changes the meaning, but that's okay, I've contracted the "jukebox flu" disease and I have to deal with it. There was a time in Poland when they taught us Russian forcibly at school...
Please take some time to tell me what I should look at or pay attention to, and I will handle the rest.
Thank you and best regards.

Norman!!!
Thank you. It was actually a safety switch. It was incorrectly adjusted either due to long transport or because of a broken window. Everything is turning, but for now very slowly, it is making noise and jerking. Maybe because it was unused for 9 years, then moved in a container and was still in the port in a warehouse. But I'm excited!!! Nothing went to waste, at least I translated the entire forum, half of the instructions, watched all the videos on YouTube, improved my English and learned how to build a jukebox. Thank you.
