[Jukebox-list] 1958 United (Was: Done reading "The juke boxandme")

that happened to my Statesman.  I heard this terrible noise and opened the 
lid, the transfer arm was off center and the record was jammed up against 
the outside of the magazine.  I quickly turned off the power and the record 
snapped in half.  I guess that was another example of Wurlitzer's troubled 
mech.!  :-)
