[Jukebox-list] Aaaaaargh!

Hi Gerald,
  "--died a death--" Interesting term !
  Anyway, you do not state where in the sequence of operation it has failed. This would help in troubleshooting.
  First thing I would do is to check all of the circuit breakers (or fuses-if changed). Then I would look at  the "safety switch",  the "override switch", and the "mag. lock switch". 
  This can be used to tell where the sequence has quit.
  I don't understand how you have checked the lamp--if it has "too much power", it will burn out.
  I further suggest that "emery" should never be used in any jukebox. If you use it on plated surfaces, it will remove plating, and it may embed into the contacts. A far better way, in my opinion, is to use a "plastic safe" degreaser, and in some cases, an excellent "contact cleaner". Ron Rich

  Hello everybody it's me again,
I was thrilled to bits to able to tell you all how I'd managed to get my 
wurly 3600 to play five consecutive records just in time for my 
fortieth birthday bash but unfortunately it stopped at five and refuses 
to go on any further. Has it died a death I wonder.

I think a lot of my problem has been dirty contacts and corosion build 
up and the fact of repeatedly selecting tracks and manually winding on 
the machine help the natural process of cleaning I've also used some 
very light emery to help.

The machine scans perfectly there is also power to the turntable but the 
"now playing" bulb no longer lights up (wierd because it's getting power 
(too much even) and it's not blown) The arm no longer selects and the 
cam motor no longer spring into action even the amp stays dead.

You have all been of great help, and with my total lack of electronic 
knowhow I'm embarrassed to ask for your help again. But if any of you 
have any ideas I would appreciate your advice.

Oh! one thing which was staring me in the face and so obvious that I 
couldn't see it, 
the control box has "CONTROL BOX MODEL 3700 BO/AC3 written on it. 
My hand book for the 3600 doesn't have any schematics for it's own 
control box let alone the control box for the 3700.

Bob' sequence of operation has been a great comfort but I'm still stuck.
