Wurlitzer 2300 S

Dear jukebox-freinds:
I have a problem with my Wurlitzer 2300 S. For all letter combinations with the number "6" the jukebox won't work. The bottoms will not retract themselves until the jukebox is unpowered and powered again. All other combinations of letters and numbers are functioning.
I will be very thankful for ideas of how to solve the problem.
Regards Björn from Denmark

Hello Björn

on the selector unit (the lowest part of the mechanism), inside the pinwheel, you can see 10 small towers, marked with the numbers 0 ... 9. These are the number select coils. If you make a selection, one of it (according to pressed button) must go down und the selector motor must start running. If no number select coil goes down, the selection can not be finished. The problem can be caused by a sticking coil plunger, a burnt coil, poor contact in the pushbutton bank or a broken wire between pushbutton bank and coil.

To fix the problem, it is probably necessary to remove the selector unit. For this I would recommend to buy a service manual (available in the shop [ssl.kundenserver.de] ). It contains instructions for reassembling and adjusting and also wiring diagrams and other important information for future troubleshooting.

I hope this will help you.

Hello Charly49
