E-120 Help

i replaced the whole selection control harness due to the old one had
alot of problems. im having problems with the selection. old one didnt
work. it seems as though i can get most of the odd numbers to work but
the evens dont. didnt think anything mattered except the plugs where
they plug into and i thought the only a/b thing was the mechanical
linkage on direction of travel. several of the plugs on the new
harness had lost there numbers . all help appreciated. thanks norm

An ohm-meter and the schematics are what you need matey! Then you can
relabel the connectors (1 - 2 - 3 - 4 as I recall) and at least be sure
they are in the correct sockets.

This must be done first!

at a time to see if one bank works. thanks norm

i have a schematic for the e-120. it shows a pin assembly of six
sockets. my jukebox has three 8 plug sockets assemblys so am i right
in just splitting the middle assembly or has someone replaced these
with different pin assemblys. thanks norm

If I understand correctly, I had a similar problem with an F. It was
mechanical-- the bar that gets knocked to the up position (that turns
on the carriage motor) was not moving freely
on all banks of the pins. It kept the pins from moving, even though
the coils were firing like they should.
Even numbers were probably not played much since they are B sides.
Good cleaning took care of it.

You don't have to have all plugged in. Just one bank for testing that bank.

The suggestion of a sticky lift bar is accurate - check that!
