Beta testers needed for MyVinyl
by Carl Haines 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Happy New Year jukebox friends! I'm looking for current users of My Vinyl to beta test a new version of My Vinyl for both iOS devices and for the Mac. Yes, finally a version for the Mac. For iOS you need to be at least on iOS 12 and be an existing user of the app. For the Mac you need to be on macOS 10.15 or better. At least I think that is the minimum version macOS required. Please email me directly to carl(a)carlhaines.com if you are interested and let me know if you can test for iOS, Mac, or both. It may be a week or two before I have something ready for testing. What's going on with the app? I am changing out the underlying database so that I can store more information and add new features to the app. For reasons I won't detail here I was sort of locked into the original database schema which limited me from adding new features that would required additional fields in the database. As a part of adding support for a new database I had to write new code to handle the data synchronization with iCloud. Previously I was relying on technology provided by Apple which limited my visibility in what was going on with iCloud and was also one of the reasons there were issues with adding new fields to the database. I'll provide more details to the beta testers later, but the things that need to be tested is the migration of data from the old database to the new database, synchronization across devices via iCloud, and the Mac version of the app. For those that are unfamiliar and want to know what it is, information about the app can be found here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-vinyl-for-jukebox-owners/id500003023 Thanks Carl Haines

T-12 Fluorescent bulbs are getting expensive
by Steve Wahl 02 Jan '24

02 Jan '24

So, I have one bulb out on my Wurlitzer 2410S, a F25T12/CW/30. I now notice that T12 bulbs have been phased out, and are getting expensive to obtain. Since these bulbs are hidden from direct view, I was wondering if anyone here has an LED upgrade strategy that they've found satisfactory? For me, it woult have to have enough diffusion that the light is even along the length of the tube's replacement, no discernable hotspots or polka-dots. Thanks. --> Steve -- Steve Wahl steve(a)pro-ns.net

He says he can't figure how to get n ito to replace the fluorescent bulb. I only work with AMI so I don't know. Can someone tell me how to open the machine up to replace the bulb. Thanks. Jamie

Seeburg G Hum
by Tony Miklos 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Working on a 100G. Both of the mute switches are working well. The problem is that when the record starts to play, if it take a little while to get into the song, I hear a hum in the speaker, when the song starts, the hum gets mostly hidden by the music. The same thing happens at the end of the song before it cancels and closes the mute switch. Oh, in the beginning of the record the hums comes on slowly do to the squelch circuit. Pulling the RCA plug out of the amp yields no hum, the hum is coming from either the mech or the mech wire. I've tried shorting the two different (one at a time) mute switches and the hum goes away. Also shorted the tone are wires and again, it has no hum. Also checked continuity throughout the mute circuits and all seems fine. Thanks, Tony

13 Dec '23

Hello, I have an AMI E120 jukebox. My junction box is putting out approximately 38 volts. I have credits on my credit unit, the credit unit light comes on. However, none of my selection buttons work. I cannot figure out what the problem is. Does anyone have any idea or help they can offer. I'm struggling for a couple weeks with this. Thank you for your help. Jamie

Wurlitzer Lyric Flexible Drive
by Peter Johnson 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

Hope someone can help with this question. I have recently rebuilt a Wurlitzer Lyric for a friend who dismantled it 30 years ago? The flexible drive from the number selection unit is giving me problems, it tends to twist as it drives and stops/stalls turning the toothed selection wheel. I have soaked the outer sheath of the drive with a penetrating oil but doesn't make any difference. My next step is to remove it from the keyboard and see if I can examine it more closely to see what the problem is. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Thankyou. Peter Johnson.

Another APFEA1 Question
by Jukebox Repairman 13 Dec '23

13 Dec '23

Machine has credit Make selection but the Add solenoid on play control does not fully engage to start the mech scanning. It does start manually via the service switch. I visually observed the solenoid while a helper made a selection and I could see the solenoid plunger move slightly but not enough to activate motor control switch It acts like it’s only receiving a short pulse from the button selector. Thoughts?? Regards Rick

Scope for Wurlitzer Amplifiers?
by Shankar Singh 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

Hello, Is this a suitable scope to troubleshoot Wurlitzer amplifiers? Would a signal injector be required as well? https://www.amazon.com/Oscilloscope-Persistence-Measurement-Bandwidth-Gener… I have only done a few basic repairs and servicing, so am still a novice. If it can be helpful, would appreciate early response; there is time constraint to ask a friend to assist with the purchase. Many thanks 🙏 SHANKAR SINGH

MRA4-L6 Schematic
by Tony Miklos 12 Dec '23

12 Dec '23

I've looked and looked for a schematic for an MRA4. What model did they come in? I think someone told me that they came in hideaway units. I did somehow find a parts list for an MRA4, and it's very close to an MRA5, I'd just like to have the proper schematic. I don't mind buying a manual, but I don't know which one. The particular one I'm working on evidently fried the power supply choke and to make up for it, they made C1 out of 3 caps to get close to 300uF. Tony

WurliTzer 2900 Top Tunes Installation.
by Shankar Singh 30 Nov '23

30 Nov '23

Hello there! Hope you are all doing well. I believe I now have all the components for the Top Tunes feature installation - Control Unit, Golden Bar & switch assy and the Latch Pin Actuator Arc Assy. I would re-cap and test the other components in the Control Unit. Would appreciate some advice for the following: Tips for servicing the arc assy. Can something be turned by hand to test the unit?Or should I plug up and test the arc unit before installing it onto the selector pin-bank unit? Tips for installing the components. Any instructions available that can be shared? The T.T Control Unit has a 12-pin socket, which appears to be for the Golden Bar Switch. It also has a 4-pin socket that looks like one for the Slug Rejector plug. Is the Slug Rejector now plugged in here and a jumper required for the Slug Rejector socket at the Coin Mech/Playrack? Many thanks! SHANKAR SINGH

AMI E120 Gripper Arm Return
by Jamie McElroy 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

Hell all, can anyone help me with this problem please. When a even selection of a record is made the gripper arm returns the record to the proper slot it was selected from. However, when an odd selection is made and played, the gripper returns the record into the next slot on the record rack. This does not happen every time but 85% of the time it will when an odd selection is made. Any thoughts on this please. I'm going a bit crazy with it. Thank you for your help. Jamie

My memory of the component name isfailing me, but if the lever switch on the carriage, when it strikes the selectionlever for an odd numbered record, is in the wrong position it will stop thecarriage too early or too late to put the carriage in the right position toremove and replace the record. The only other thing that would cause itto be returned to the wrong rack position would be if the carriage movedbetween the time the record is removed and replaced, and since you didn'tmention that happening (and I can't envision a condition that would causethat) I'm assuming it's an alignment issue. > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Jukebox-list mailing list -- jukebox-list(a)lists.netlojix.com > > To unsubscribe send an email to jukebox-list-leave(a)lists.netlojix.com > > %(web_page_url)slistinfo%(cgiext)s/%(_internal_name)s > > Searchable Archives: http://jukebox.markmail.org/ >

Seeburg APFEA1 Mech Issue
by Jukebox Repairman 28 Nov '23

28 Nov '23

I currently have this machine in the shop and troubleshooting an issue. With credit on the machine, a selection is made but the add solenoid in the control center does not engage fully to open the motor control switch. With the power removed, the plunger moves freely manually with no drag or bind. If I manually scan the mech via the service switch, the solenoid engages and the mech goes fully into scan mode. It acts like the solenoid is only receiving a short pulse. Does this sound like a faulty service switch or contacts in the Electrical Selector? Regards, Rick

W532 scratchy sound
by M De Simone 14 Nov '23

14 Nov '23

Good afternoon, I have recently been working on a Wurlitzer 532 amplifier and caps have been replaced and a couple of resistors that were out of tolerance. Tubes are all tested good and verified by swapping individually. The amplifier puts out good volume with defined bass and treble. The issue is that there is a slight scratchy sound in the high end of the spectrum. If I turn the treble to the lowest setting it masks it but anywhere else I can hear it if I listen closely. Before I blame it my test setup is like to ask, could the pec1 or pec2 cause this, as I have not replaced them? Let me know what you think. Thanks, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

Wurly 1250 selection problem
by Dean Carriveau 13 Nov '23

13 Nov '23

Hi all, My Wurlitzer 1250 was working perfectly and then refused selections when any of the twenty-four selection buttons are depressed. I checked the coin grinder and it runs, accepts coins and 24v goes to the make selection light so I know that transformer is good. I've been looking at the schematic and at a loss of where to begin. I was going to pull the junction box and and check the 24v transformer but it is supplying power to the selection light. Any thoughts? Dean

How do you remove the front door color sheets on a Seeburg STD4 ? I have taken the top metal rail off for access. Looks like they should just pull right up? Mine are stuck and trying not to force them too much. I have a feeling they are original and have gaskets , etc have hardened. Any one else have this problem? Jim
