[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 1800

[Juke of Shrewsbury]

Eric - Glad you are enjoying the machine again!
The end of record trip switch is adjusted through a small hole in the right 
hand side (looking from the front) of the mechanism arch cover. It should be 
cross head screw and you need a fairly short screwdriver to get into it!

The latch solenoid problem, could be the resistor - but is more likely to be 
a dirty contact if the machine was left unused for a while. In the coin 
grinder you will find a black toothed wheel, this operates the credit 
contacts that cause the solenoid to pull in. Check and clean these contacts. 
There are some other contacts involved, connected with releasing the buttons 
after a selection is made. I would need to look at the manual to remind me 
where these are, other than the obvious pair operated by the "release" 
pushbutton.  I'll try to remember to bring the manual home tonight, but 
others may help you in the meantime....

Adrian.
