[Jukebox-list] Re: Wurly 1650 // Cleaning a mech

[Dicecco, Michael]

I was wondering... Is it possible to use foam oven cleaner on a mech to
degrease it? 
I've always used automotive degreaser (with good results), but I thought
the oven cleaner might be more heavy duty. Would it hurt fibre gears, or
have any other adverse results?

Any comments from the group?

Mike

Hi JC
nice pics, don't you just love that photobucket!  We can all share our
adventures, lol  I think your pain is in better condition than mine on
the mech tray.  There is quite a bit of rust towards the front.  The
good news is.......it's not so noticeable when you look at it because
it's so far forward.

I was wondering about cleaning up the mech.....did I read somewhere you
could spray ammonia on all the working parts (gears contacts etc) but
not get the motor wet?  Then rinse with spraying clear water on it?

The mech is so dirty, the pinbank is on it's side, don't know if you can
get that wet either.  There are 3 motors on this, a large black one and
2 stacked to the right of that.  I don't think they can get wet and I
could wrap them in a plastic bag if I am just going to spray ammonia.  I
am at a standstill until I figure out how to clean that Mech on the
sawhorses, LOL Jackie
