[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 2000 plays opposite selections?

[Jjmscf at aol.com]

No matter how clean it looks,those stop pawls must be freely moving.And no 
lubrication on them. Oil will attract dirt and they will stick.Also if that 
selector has been taken off is it centered? I don't know about 2000s as they have 
the up right selector I think but the 2150 I have must be centered with the 
centering tool in the cabinet or a screwdriver of it's removed
