Wurlitzer 3200 select problem
Wurlitzer 3200 americana II 1968 year .
Having trouble figuring out a selection problem . First one of these i have worked on . Someone has made it free play . I need to push both buttons at one time to select . I need to push the selection several times to get it to go . Sometimes its 2 times , sometimes its 10 times then it plays fine . I have all the coin parts . How do i get it back on coin ? Thanks all |

Thanks all The 'Operator' (Jukebox Route Operator) way to set this vintage of Wurlitzer machine to Free Play, was to simply move the return spring on the credit wheel so the wheel was always pulled to the maximum. To return to Money Play gently lift one end of the spring off its pin and move it so it goes around the spindle on the opposite side (do NOT stretch the spring!!) so the cancel solenoid steps the wheel down to open the 'Key Switch', and return to the pin. As for having to press the buttons several times to activate the selection you probably have either badly adjusted/dirty blade switches on the 'Latch Solenoid' section, or the keyboard bank switches are breaking down and need to be either bypassed for the defective section or replaced with new bank switch (lots of soldering and wiring if needed!)

Wurlitzer 3200 select problem
Ok where is the latch solenoid ?
I guess the other switch banks you speak of are the whole keyboard . Are you saying .. if one of those is going bad it will affect the rest ? Does tis select problem have anything to do with the lower mech or junction box ? I tried putting the the parts back in the little box at top that someone removed and it works manual but i still have to push 2 buttons at once .. |

Pushing two buttons together may simply mean that the latch solenoid is open or has been disconnected or even removed. Can you make any selection you want by pressing the appropriate letter and number key combination? You really need the service manual to fix this machine. It has some troubleshooting, schematics, adjustments etc. and is the only way to do the job right. We have original manuals in stock - $45US or you can get full size reprints for $35US plus postage.

Wurlitzer 3200 select problem
Ok i fiddled around with it more and found the latch parts you mention
all behind the keyboard . The latch solenoid is there . When the machine is powered on and credited the solenoid energizes and the make selection light comes on . When i push one button of any kind the solenoid lets out then back in and the button never stays down . If i hold one button down after it clunks and try pushing another button nothing happens . If i quickly push 2 buttons down the solenoid lets out then right back in and the machine starts playing , again no buttons stay down at all . And as before i still have to push the 2 buttons several times to get it to take off & play . The whole machine is in real good clean condition , better than usuall No messes . All those parts behind the keyboard look almost like new . I did try adjusting a few thngs by loostening their screws and moving the part a little . I also made sure all those contact blades are moving correctly and making contact It does select a little better but not right ; I have restored many jukeboxes but this one has me stumped a little . Thanks for yor info ! |

Thanks for yor info ! Check the latch switches, I suspect the problem is there. You do need a manual to set them up correctly...there are even downloadable manuals if you hunt around a bit...
