Wurlitzer c-110 Tape Stuck
Recently acquired a Wurlitzer C-110 that's in great shape but hasn't seen any action in quite some time. Fired it up and found that the tape would immediately eject from each head, which I believe is a belt issue from reading another thread. At one point, however, the tape got jammed on the head and won't release. Anyone know how to get this head to let go of the tape? I'm hesitant to start prying and prodding as I'll probably just cause more problems. Thanks!

This is shown in the operators manual: https://www.flippers.com/catalog/pro...players-p-8074 Once you have the tape player out you should be able to separate the tape from the head. If it is 'glued' to the head, try using rubbing alcohol to soften and release the tape. Then clean the head with a soft cloth and more rubbing alcohol. We also have the replacement drive belts for both players for your machine: https://www.flippers.com/catalog/pro...players-p-2665 I also have some NOS parts left for the C-110, however you kinda need the manual to get the part numbers to look for the parts! Some are labelled C110, but not all, and we have a few that are not showing on the shopping cart... John :-#)# -- (Please post followups or tech inquiries to the USENET newsgroup) John's Jukes Ltd.
