[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 1800 (latch solenoid)

[Juke of Shrewsbury]

Eric,
As Wes and Ron have said, it's very likely to be the solenoid end of stroke 
contacts that are not making contact when they should be. (They should be 
normally closed, i.e. closed when the solenoid is relaxed). The resistor is 
probably OK. For reference the values are as follows:
Guardian Solenoid - 175 Ohm 5W
RBM Solenoid - 50 Ohm 10W
Personally I have never seen an RBM solenoid so I suspect most of them were 
Guardian??

Adrian.
