A common problem and it is usually in the leaf contacts in the keyboard. There some contact in the assembly that get actuated when a letter than number get pressed. For some reason, Wurlittzer stuck with using weak blades that and over time they bend to the point where they fail to make good contact. The cam pivot in that assembly can become gummed up and prevent proper shifting as well. Every carousel Wurlitzer i've owned or seen as a kid on location eventually required the customer to press both button at the same time and "jog" them a bit while doing it. Once you open the top section and look at the assembly and linkages you see what i am talking about. Use a small contact bender and --carefully-- bend the blades closer. Do not go overboard on this, proceed slowly and the blades can fracture.  If the pivot is gummy, a light oil can be applied to get it going.

If you leave it like that sometimes after a short bit the buttons release and the mech plays the selection. It almost seems like a timing issue but I'm not really a Wurlkitzer guy so I'm looking for help. Unfortunately no manual either not that it would help with my lack of experience with this brand.
