Connecting Wurlitzer to Stereo
New to jukes, and I want to see if it's possible to connect my
Wurlitzer Zodiac to an external stereo receiver with speakers all over my house. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! |

Connecting Wurlitzer to Stereo
Take a look at the amp (its on the back wall of the machine) Wurlitzer
usually has two RCA plugs labeled "aux amp" -or "booster amp" etc. These are intended for your purpose. IF not there you can always use the classic volume control tap. The involves connecting a shielded co-axial cable (standard audio wire) with the shield connected to the shield post on the volume control and the center conductor connected to the post at the other end. To determine these: There are three solder connections together at one side of the volume control for each channel on a stereo amp. The shield or ground post is the one closest to where the control is at when volume is set to minimum. The center wire goes to the end where the control would be at maximum. You could also connect the center conductor to the center post on the volume control, then the jukebox volume control will control the feed to the added amp as well. I don't know what the internal impedance is at this circuit so, to avoid losing high frequencies try to keep the new wire reasonably short (10ft or less). Rob/NYC |

It's being delivered today, so I will look for the RCA plugs first, I found a mixer that will automatically lower or completely drop the volume on my CD player when someone selects a song on the juke. I believe it has two RCA inputs specificlly for a juke or similar application, so I hope it works! |
