Installing WurliTzer 2400 and 2800 glass.
I need to install top door glass for a 2400 and top and front glass for a 2800. I am not experienced with the installations. I would appreciate advice on how to go about doing these. Where can i get the U rubber liners that go around the glasses? How do I determine the sizes required? I have seen nice bright lighting effects thrown onto the speaker grilles from above. How can I get such effects? Any recommendation for replacement light diffusers behind the see through signs? I think this is more applicable for the top of the 2800. The old ones hardly pass any light. Instead of the top lamp on the 2400 throwing light on the top of the title board, is there a way to safely light it from behind the title board without any risk to the records? I would like to replace the fluorescent tubes with LEDs. I am thinking about using something like 1” diameter PVC pipe that can span the width of the juke and wrap LED strip lights around it. Suggestions and working solutions that can be shared will be appreciated. Many thanks Shankar Singh
Hi, Shankar: I won't try to address questions that there are more experienced people here to address. I will say that, in the antique radio business, LED replacements for original fluorescent tubes often cause buzz and squeal in the tube electronics. LED replacements for small lamps, like 47s are fine. It might be that since jukes don't have receiver components the LED replacements will be fine. Good luck!

Hi Shankar! Still doing jukeboxes after all these years - nice. I recommend that you remove the domes and set them upside down on a bench for changing the glass - anything else and you risk dropping the glass while trying to fit it in... For replacement diffusers perhaps you can find some very think translucent plastic in a colour you like? Or use Theatre Gell - look for "Lee Filters" or "Cinegel" brand gels. Sold in sheets and a great range of colours - that is how I make colour bands on fluorescent tubes. Use clear shipping tape to secure the gels... I also use automotive window sealant to secure the glass in place if the original had black tar like material. John :-#)# On 2026-08-05 6:48 a.m., Shankar Singh via Jukebox-list wrote:

Victory Glass or a local glass shop, sold by the foot. Measure the thickness of the glass.

If factory, typically a diffuser and a fluorescent tube under the keyboard area. If custom, well, custom. If you *really* want to get creative, govee.com strip lights.

Theatrical gels offer a huge selection of colors and transparency.

Possibly. LEDs produce a lot less heat and UV than fluorescents.

I'd just buy LED replacements for the existing fluorescent tubes. They typically are available in two types, one keeps the ballast ant the other eliminates it. -- Jay Hennigan - jay@west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
