[Jukebox-list] Re:Wurly 3410 Issues

[Jackie]

Dave,
nice to hear the Wurly is still working great.  It was almost brand new (in 
Jukebox years) when you got it, how cool is that?

I know what you mean about records, when you use the Jukeboxes you do end up 
swaping out often.  I am about once a month.  I also play the Seeburg C just 
as much and between the two, seems I am always making new Title Strips and 
searching for more and more records.  I like Kyle's Title Strips so I have 
spent a fair amount of time on the internet looking for Album Covers etc. 
It's fun and it keeps me out of trouble!

I guess the people that don't care for the Statesman used to repair them and 
I can see why they would consider them a pain in the rear.  After working on 
the Seeburg LS2, the 3400 is more difficult to work with.  Even the manual 
is more confusing.  In spite of all that, I am with you, I love the bass and 
I am attached, I think being my first Jukebox it will just always be #1.

I will keep my eyes open, ya never know when I may run across one!  Have a 
great one,
Jackie
