Wurlitzer 532 hum revisited
by Carl Haines 01 Feb '23

01 Feb '23

Many years ago I had asked about a noticeable hum that from my W 532 amp. I checked out a few things but never resolved the hum problem. At the time I was new to tube amps and wasn't quite sure how much if any hum might be normal for these amps and just left it go thinking that some hum might be normal. Now that I have had experience with a couple more tube amps, I realize that the hum is not normal and have decided to dig in and try to resolve the hum problem. Symptom: Hum that does not change with the volume. Sounds like 60hz to me and not sine wave since it has bit of a buzz to it. I've narrowed it down to the circuit for the 6AU6. Hum goes away when the amp is muted. Removing the 6AN8 does not change the hum. Shorting the Aux Amp connection has no effect on the hum. Removing the remote volume plug has no effect on the hum. I did go through all the resistors that did not require flying a lead to verify their values. I did find a few that are marginally out of spec reading approx. 10% too high (R34, R36, R37). Replacements are on order, but I am not convinced these are the culprit, but my plan is to replace them to be sure. I think this is a case where I wish I had an oscilloscope to probe around to see if I can narrow down the source of the hum. I verified all the grounds for this circuit and tried swapping out the tube. My next plan is to go back and check the B+ and then check all the component values and connections for this circuit. Since these are all on the PCB, I can't imagine there being not being connected correctly but who knows. Am I missing anything obvious? Carl Haines

Other parts to check via Ron was secure clamping of the record. Clamp arm spring and center pin entering TT with no resistance when clamping record. Motor coupler and oiling motor with his favorite ND 20 wt oil thru all of the drive train. It didn’t have a motor support plug but added one. I would at least check the bearing for no flat spots and screw condition even if u have no play In TT. Kent Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows

A quick update thank you Rob for the detailed instructions very helpful. I replaced the Cartridge with the NOS one from eBay it sounds fantastic! I did replace the Sapphire needle that came with the cart it for a new diamond needle. I did have to make a small adjustment to the trip switch but other than that good to go. This was for an elderly couple both in their 80’s and they were thrilled to hear it playing again.

2 yrs ago I worked on my neighbors USC-1. His band The Mystics had a hit song “Hushabye” . After recapping this juke his record sounded terrible (wavering). Other records not as noticeable. With Ron R’s help I tried many fixes. Nothing helped until he said try to see if the TT thrust is correct with .003” play. Mine had at least 1/8” and would not adj with thrust screw adj. The adj screw was hollowed out on the end from wear. Replacing screw and adj fixed the wavering problem. I had to buy 25 screws, so if anyone needs 1 let me know.

Selection Issue On TSU5 After Replacing TJU with RCSU
by Jerold Kress 28 Jan '23

28 Jan '23

Issue: The mechanism picks up and plays the first record (R8) no matter what selection is made. Also, while scanning and a selection is made, the mechanism immediately plays what ever record it's near. The jukebox was selecting fine. The issue appeared after I replaced the TJU3 with a RCSU3 and hooked up a wallbox. Using the wallbox to select a record exhibited the above issue. I then reversed my work, replacing the RSCU3 with the original TJU3 but the jukebox continues to exhibit the selection issue described above. I re-seated all the connectors with no improvement. I figured something happened when I replaced the TJU3 with the RCSU3 but have yet to figure it out. I have the manual and can start the trouble shooting guides but was hoping someone could deduce what happened between hooking up the RCSU and then reinstalling the original TJU3 in the TSU5. (Previous fix: replaced both AO2s, 6X4, 6X4 socket, C515, C514, R518). Thanks for any insight! jerold k

This machine is mine and although it's in nice condition, they are so ugly I might have to part it out. It got put aside but I have limited space for other machines in the shop so I'd like to sell it/get rid of it. I can't sell it with the warble. Any clues yet as to what is causing this? I didn't try changing the motor cap since it does it on only one side.
