The model you are repairing is the earliest of that style mech, and many changes were made shortly after. I've not seen that part before and it's not on the late 30's or trashcan mechs. I assume there is a post or roller that pushes that post as the tray driver is moving back towards the helix. The flat spring steel is probably just a guide. I would assume it has something to do with releasing the previous selected tray or possibly advancing the next tray if a customer put more money in and didn't change the selector knob. This would play a different song instead of repeating. On Thursday, December 12, 2024 at 05:37:50 PM EST, Tony Miklos via Jukebox-list jukebox-list@lists.netlojix.com wrote:
First I want to thank everyone who responded to this thread.
I don't believe it is the same exact box as in the auction I had listed, it's just the same model.
I have it working fairly well, it liked to jamb up a lot but has gone a couple hundred cycles working well since the last tweaking of the copper comb like thing, what ever it is called. (Do Trashcans have that part also?) The last time it did jam it seemed that this part https://tonymiklos.imgbb.com/ had something to do with it. I have no idea what it is for. The pic showing the "pin" from the side shows a spring on it. The spring is quite strong and no way would the flat spring (part missing one screw and turned down) be able to overcome that pressure. This is unlike the other jams which were from it pulling more than 1 tray out at a time.
I don't know anything about trashcans and older. I don't know if a trashcan has these same parts, (I need to order a trashcan manual) The manuals I received (AMR R-309 and 381) are similar to what I have here, except this box does not have an electrical selector or push buttons of any kind to select, just a knob to turn for your next selection.
So again thanks to all and if you happen to know what the part in the pictures is for, I'd love to know!
Tony

They are mechanically difficult so a manual is a MUST! Get one from Victory Glass online. I have an 1948 aluminum model. After almost 8 decades small parts begin to wear out and need to be replaced. Selector issues are a few as well as rebuilding the amplifier. They used a Jensen 15" dynamic range speaker. Overall the machine has excellent fidelity. Suggest reckoning the speaker. The Wurlitzer 1015 production run was 60,400 but the trashcan series was over 80,000 produced. Good luck. Ed

I've never looked at the insides of one of these, all I know is that it doesn't play. And of course "It all lights up and everything" :)
Anyway, from what I could see in the poor pics of the mech, it looks fairly simple. Are they easy? Trying to decide if I want to take the job or not since I have an open spot in the shop.
