[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 700 Turntable height

[Wesley Dean]

    Jerry, one thing that seems to be ignored about the turntable height is if two trays have been pulled at some earlier time, the cam follower that rolls on the lift cam will be twisted. This is the main cause for losing your stroke, not a worn cam. In normal operation there are plenty of adjustments  to compensate for any cam wear. Wes
