[Jukebox-list] "UNSTUCKING" a Wurly 1550-A

[Don]

Ron,
True, true and true.
I am really intrigued by the 1550-A and particularly p'd off that I couldn't 
get it unstuck after a half hour of experimenting (11 months ago).
Of the jukes I have seen so far (and that's not many), the 1550-A is my FAV. 
Since HE won't move it, it seems the only way I will get to finish what I 
started on it is to offer to buy it from the guy (not likely he'll sell) and 
then I can move it into my shop to work on it.
Under those circumstances I know I can fix it.

First I have a new roof to prepare for. See bottom of this photogallery of 
the latest:

We will get 4 inches of rain in next 12 hours!  Sheesh.  I spent 4 hours on 
the gable end this morning.
Cheers
Don
