[Jukebox-list] SS 160 Novice questions

[Jeremy Agema]

You don't need the popularity solenoid unless you are tracking what records 
are the most popular. Disconnect it and leave it in place or remove it 
completely. I have seen a couple of mechs where the wires were cut (to make 
mech removal easier?) and the mech worked fine.

For WD-40 --Use 20w non detergent oil. The popular choice is 3 and 
1 "electric motor oil" NOT 3 and 1 household oil.

The main thing to avoid is any lube containing parafin. This will turn to 
glue with time.
