    Wurlitzer 1961 model 2510. Letter and number selections work but nothing happens. Was working fine up to only a few weeks ago. Wife said that the last time it worked, after pressing the letter and number keys there was a loud 'snap' and that was the end. Appreciate any help and documentation on how to fix this problem. Thanks.

    Hi there . great video thank you . I have a '59 2304 wurlitzer . I'm trying to find out how to adjust or service the tracking . My machine selects fine but doesnt seem to be tracking properly . it would have to be very similar to yours . if not the same . sometimes it plays all the way through the record & then the tone arm will lift off & hit the record , half way on the return . Sometimes it struggles to play all the way through & starts skipping . is there a tonearm force adjustment ? Or a shaft in the back thats needs lubrication ?. I Can see the curved Cam in the back , That I'm guessing , is something to do with the tone arm tracking . but I'm not sure where to start . regards steve

    わたくしも『449』オーナーです。 2000年前に手に入れて当時、日本の正規代理店で修理しました。当時2008年。 正規輸入のSEGAの人が手を入れてます。 今で多少の不具合はあります。レコードの針など今でも手に入ります。 サファイアの針は皆無です。ダイヤモンド針ならたぶん今でも手に入ると・・・・・。 うちの『449』は使い始めの多少の不安定はあるけど動けばそのあとは。ただ、新品当時の正常な動作をわからないので。 逆に、日本製の『ジュークボックス』のほうが部品が皆無です。Victorも日本Colombiaもベルトすら入手困難です。 我が家の『449』いつのまにか復活したったアンプ(当時は左の音声しか出なかった) Ami とかWurlitzerなどのメーカーよりお気に入りの『Rock-olA』のサウンドが気に入ってます。Amiは放置。コロムビアは針の供給なし。 って日本語で返信しました。

    The aux power plug was probably for a booster amp, as clearly the built in amp was not of great power for a large bar or restaurant. If there is space inside the cabinet, an aux amp was probably an option. Some companies offered a preamp for a paging microphone, these usually "ducked" the phono music when the press to talk button was pushed, then return the music to normal volume after the page.

    Hi! I have a Wurlitzer 2500 (the 50 record model of your 104 record model) Do you know how to replace the turntable drive belt? I have the complete service manual but it does not explain how to replace the belt. The 2504 you show here and my 2500 should be the same. Just checking if you know or have a source I could contact. Thanks!

    Thanks! I enjoy your videos. The problem with my 1957 Wurlitzer is that the record selection isn't working. When you make a selection, the lower selection wheel turns, as does the record carousel, but the song selected doesn't activate. (I can play a song by sticking my hand in the back and pressing the lever with my finger.) Any ideas?

    Well it appears I was on the right track. Only thing is I have to keep the profile low and there’s a socket on the board already. I just wasn’t smart enough to pop the socket in then the leads and then solder I was going to solder and then try to pop it in. Thank you for making it simpler for me.

    Love that model 449. They had this in the Pizza Hut that I worked at when I was a teenager all of 16 years old LOL, believe it was 1973, so the rock-ola would have been only a couple years old at that point

    @williamweisel2176 3 роки тому

    Rockola was using the Shure M44 cartridge around this era. That is probably the cartridge you would want. Anyone keeping one of these early 70's Rockolas would do well to consider buying a "junker" parts box from around the same era as those parts will be invaluable going forward.......... and really, a non working parts box can be purchased for $100 or less if one is patient.......
