Here’s a fun one! I have need to test a Wurlitzer 516 amplifier from a model 1500 but the jukebox is 2 hours away. I have a mech from a 1700 or 1800 set up that I use for testing amplifiers from about models 1800 to 2300. The 516 amplifier uses an 11 pin plug to the amplifier as does say, the 530 amplifier from a model 1900 but when I compare the schematics they appear very different. Would anyone know if I can test this amp with this mech? I do realize the 1500 uses a field coil speaker and I have an adapter for this purpose. I just don’t want to smoke any components and am concerned. Thanks, Mauro

From looking at the schematic I have and past experience. I suggest;
-Tack a jump across the override relay contacts (relay in amp). This will get the amp powered.
-Plug just the cobra plug from your other machine into the 516. If the RVC dummy plug is in the 516, you should have sound.
