My machine was set to free play when I purchased it. After many years it no longer moves to a selection. Any thoughts as to where I should look for the problem? Thanks.......
Check the fuses? When's the last time it was lubricated?

Hi Paul, Have you ever oiled your machine! Annual or bi-annual oiling is advised to keep them running reliably, and I've seen that stretch to perhaps ten or so years, but after that things start to go wrong. There are a number of oil points on the Wurlitzer mechanism that need to be attended to with 20W Non-Detergent oil like 3-In-One BLUE top MOTOR OIL. Everything that rotates or rolls needs a couple of drops of oil, plus some hidden places...over the next week or so I want to make a webpage showing where the oil goes!

Thanks John! Will be looking out. Shankar Singh On Oct 9, 2025, at 18:57, John Robertson via Jukebox-list <jukebox-list@lists.netlojix.com> wrote: On 2025-10-09 2:58 p.m., paul7177 via Jukebox-list wrote:
