Default AMI E-120 lubrication

I have the service manuals which describes how to lubricate. Unfortunately, it uses terms like mushroom cam and gripper bow. The manuals do not show where these are. Suggestions on how to proceed? Many thanks,

Hello, and I while I can't provide you an answer, your AMI box model was
always one of my favorites. A patron always got a clear view of the
mechanics of record selection and playing. Just as much fun as hearing
the record. I always thought the AMI engineers, unlike most of the
other JB mfrs, began with a conventional phonograph and then added the
components to enable coin-operated record playing. The Seeburg
mechanism was elegant and unique in its own right but not as much fun to
watch IMO. The other "fun" mechanism was the way 78 rpm Wurlitzer boxes
played records with that elevating turntable. Now keep that box
running! Sincerely,
