[Jukebox-list] A Wurly 2510 amp question

[etreble7]

Hi JC,
The cartridge had the 2 clips on the end and they were spread wider than the 
opening on the tone arm, so I guess when I pushed them together, one clip 
broke off.  I didn't hear it fall into the magazine, but it did , and I 
later found it when I was oiling the main cam!  I suddenly had no sound when 
this happened and the amp had not been rebuilt, but Jukebox Jimmy and I had 
sound when he was here!!  It was Kyle, over a phone call, that told me to 
pull out the cartridge and sure enough, that's what it was.  I ordered a new 
cartridge and the amp was rebuilt and we are good to go.

As far as what I've been up to, it's been super busy, both personally and my 
studio.  The highlight of my summer was my Sock-hop with the 3 Jukes.  They 
just performed perfectly.  At one point, on the Rockola, the #8 selections 
would not pull a pin, so to the amazement of the "uninformed" guests (it 
looked like I really knew what I was doing, haha) I quickly cleaned the 
contact for the #8 and worked it back and forth a few times and it's been 
perfect since.

Last week the Seeburg C had a cancel issue for a particular pin which 
quickly spread to several pins.  Thanks to Ron, it was a gummed inside 
cancel plunger and I am happy to report, it's canceling like a charm!

The last couple weeks the 2410 had a switch issue.  The transfer and 
mute/play switches seem to be an on-going issue and I am learning to start 
there.  The record was remaining in play after the end of the song.  The 
contacts were cleaned and on Ron's suggestion, the "stop bracket" was 
adjusted and we are back in business.

I use all 3 Jukeboxes everyday, just to keep them working smoothly, however 
the Wurly 2410 which is upstairs is the one that just gets the heck played 
out of it.  I never get tired of them, swapping out the records is great 
fun, and it turns any rainy day into a sunny one.  We are all so lucky to 
have and enjoy these marvels!
