Wurlitzer 1050 clone; "Sonata" Help Please
I have a Sonata Box. I'm stuck on 2 problems....... 1) The numbers buttons will not hold in when pressed down, you need to manually hold a number button down until the selection is found and processed. 2) The tone arm, after being aimed above the beginning of a newly selected record, does not "Drift" or slowly lower itself on to it, it is dropped down on the record, causing the entire arm to bounce, and start playing in the middle of the record. HELP! Also, would like to find a cartridge for this box. Who has them? Thanks for any attempt to assist me! Ron |

Ron The 1050 Sonata is essentially the same as the Wurlitzer 1050, just poorer quality parts used throughout. Problems with the play meter wheels popping off, amp sub-boards not all upgraded to latest (3800) style, cabinet finish, and the credit unit. However, all the 1050 parts fit (I have NOS pilasters etc.) and the Wurl 1050 service manual is the same (Have these in factory originals as well). Your problem #1 sounds like the latch solenoid is not working, it should lock in place when free play is enabled (permanent or coined). See if the coil has power, if so, then check the TRIAC board for an open resistor. Problem #2 may be a simple adjustment - covered in the manual - or it might need a drop of oil on the pivots if they are gummed up.
