If I'm not mistaken, normally the jukes of this era, when the pin goes into the star wheel, the lift, or drop of the selector just barely goes far enough to align with the record trays. On this box, when the pin goes into the star wheel, the lift goes past the center of the tray, almost too far. After adjusting it, it is working well, but not engaging in the center of the tray. So it's working going up and down, but it's a bit confusing why this one goes so far when engaging into the star wheel. Any ideas?
I find these problems are often related to loose fit of one or more shafts in the frame.
Can you push the Kidney cam sideways or in any direction enough that the shaft seems to move? If yes, then you need to replace the bushing in the frame...
Same is true for the star wheel when it is not locked - can it move in any sideways direction?
When I say push I mean pushing the item on the same plane as the support frame - you are looking for slop between the shaft and the frame, grabbing the kidney cam or star wheel is just giving you something to hold.
