[Jukebox-list] Re: Wurlitzer 1050 Issues

[Julie Mitchell]

Wow, that's great.  It took a while to find that part, since it's all
the way in the back behind the carousel, but a cleanup seems to do the
trick.

Many thanks, Ron.  It's the second time you've helped me fix
something, and I'm much appreciative of the help to keep this machine
in shape.
