Wurlitzer 1700 - need to ask a few restore questions
Hello All:
I am restoring a Wurlitizer 1700 and I need to ask a few questions. I have rebuilt all the mechanical parts and am wondering if there is a way to test the record changer assy to make sure I have it put together correctly. Can I run it with power? I want to not break any teeth on the gears or anything else. I cant put it into the cabinet because that will lead to question 2. The cabinet suffered some water damage and I will have to replace both sides of the cabinet. One side is so warped and twisted that it not fixable or usable for a template. The other side is better, but I was wondering if anyone might have a template of the sides. I am also open to other ideas on remaking these. Any help will be great.

Thanks Mike I've done the initial tests by hand - turning the knurled shaft that comes out the rear of the gear motor. Tedious, but reveals jams. Also don't forget that the motor reverses once it trips the switch after the search arm engages a pin. If you are lazier, use a battery screwdriver type drill that has a torque adjustment and set the torque to just enough to spin the motor shaft. Clockwise for the select cycle, counter-clockwise to put record into play, etc. John :-#)# -- (Please post followups or tech inquiries to the USENET newsgroup) John's Jukes Ltd. 2343 Main St., Vancouver, BC, Canada V5T 3C9 (604)872-5757 or Fax 872-2010 (Pinballs, Jukes, Video Games) www.flippers.com "Old pinballers never die, they just flip out." |
