Hi, I'm Phill. Been tinkering with eletrics for years and repaired more than my fair share of pinball tables.
I just bought my first jukebox, a partially working but very badly "restored" Wurlitzer 2400S that was a bargain and I'm working on a proper restoration that will return it to it's full glory. I've had to adjust everything from the trip switch (records didn't stop playing), through the back stop pawls (no B-sides) to the tone arm weight. I've also replaced the guide tips (quite an adventure), the diffuser glass (which had been hand painted) and the cartridge. So it's been quite an adventure so far (and that isn't even half of it).
It now works and plays although there are a number of parts that need restoring so there's still a lot to do.
Oh, I also found and removed three different air fresheners from inside the mech. Don't ask, I don't know!
The machine still needs a lot of love, mainly asthetic - including the removal of some bronze, fabricated front grilles which are not attractive. This is a picture of the machine before I did any work to it, I hope to post more images as I complete work.
My interest in the forum is to get some help as I encounter issues but to give back as I learn and can help others. I've noticed there aren't a lot of instructional videos so I plan to make some as I carry out further repairs.
