[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 24A pilasters,record trays etc.

[Jjmscf at aol.com]

I have picked up another juke.A  1938 Wurlitzer 24A.I got Jackie wondering if 
I'm putting jukeboxes in my 
bathroom...lol.
 
Anyway it is missing the 2 lower and larger pilaster plastics.Victory Glass 
catalog does not list any for this model.I sent an email to Roy Dean.Don't know 
if he has it.Haven't tried Durfee yet but he doesn't show that he has a 24A 
on the website.
 
Does anybody know of any other model plastics that would fit or could be cut 
to fit? May 600 plastics? 
I don't think the 2 upper ones are the ones it came with.The pictures show a 
pattern in them. These are solid red.They do light up pretty though and fit 
good.
 
Also all the record tray inserts are missing.I spotted these on ebay.Item no. 
28222708251.Are these correct for the 24A ? Would certainly save some money 
versus a set of new ones from Victory Glass except for the fact they need 
reflocking as well as my original turntable.
 
And on the subject of reflocking which I've never attempted. Anybody have any 
tips on doing a great looking reflocking?I know I need a flocking gun to do 
the best job of it.
 
Lastly my trip wire is missing.Can anybody send me a picture of what it's 
supposed to look like installed on the mech? Of course I'll be installing the 
Astatic 51-2 kit on it so I may need to change the trip setup. 
 
I've already made progress on the mech. After much spraying of "Break Free" 
and nearly a bottle of 3 in 1 motor oil I got this mech that kept wanting to 
jam and pull 2 trays out and all kinds of good stuff running like a champ.Goes 
through the selections in order each time I trip it.The worst thing was the 
selector rod sticking and staying on the same record.That one gave me a fit and 
where most of the oil and spray went.I had to use paper towels to catch all the 
stuff overflowing out of the drip tray...lol.Lots of dirt and hardened gunk 
laying in the tray itself.
