[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer New Orleans CD gripper arm tossing CD's

[David E. Hefner]

By looking at the pictures on the page I can see one problem I have on
both jukes, the arm that moves the CD mech left and right (in the
Wurl-OMT-45-ToneArmOil-1.JPG file, left of the record platform) is being
held together on both with a damn wire-tie.  In digging around under the
mechanism in that particular juke, I found the pin that goes in there,
just can't find the c-clip that holds it on the back side.  I'm guessing
that the tie is causing some issues with movement, so I'll see if I can
work on finding a c-clip (or would anybody know where I can get that pin
and a few clips that fit?).

Hi David,

I have a troubleshooting guide for Germain Wurlitzers on my web site - 
your problem sounds like either a cracked gripper claw or dried up 
lubrication to the point where parts are sticky and sluggish in their 
motions.

Please look into lubrication first and then follow up with 
troubleshooting...

I have made a short video showing the proper speed of the gripper arm, 
and will add that to the page directly.
