[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 50--Was Wurlitzer 700 locks

[Wesley Dean]

    Jens, along with other aliments, a main one is the trays will wear down due to scrubbing.  The mechanism requires precise measurements of the trays for the selector system to track. Until new trays were manufactured, there was not much that could be done about this. The articulation points of the scissors wearing will also cause loss of tracking.  Persons that are not aware of these problems will spend many hours trying to adjust these terrible mechanisms. Wes
