Hello,

Have you checked all the fuses or circuit breakers on the jukebox?
Are all the power supply led's lit?
Make sure that all the connection plugs into the boards are fully seated and making good connections.

After checking the above if the fault remains you will need to contact a Wurlitzer service engineer.

Look at the switch and solenoid assembly at 1 oclock on the carousel. That is what activates to set it going and it then clocks off a ratchet wheel to do two full cycles looking for a selection then stops. If it gets stuck the carousel wont stop.

If the buttons don't latch in, the machine is not in credit. Put on free play or put some money in.

What exactly do you mean by "shut off before all the 45's were rejected" ? The mech only load one record at a time, either from the left or right side of the carousel. If the power was shut off before a record unloaded from the turntable, you can manually return the mech to the start position. Do this by getting in to the back of the juke. on the upper right, near the top of the deck, there is a motor. There should be a little white gear coming from the bottom of it. I am assuming if you look in the middle of the mech, you will see a cam with a lobe on one side of it. Turning the white gear will advance the mech adn turn the cam counter clockwise. As the lobe on the cam nears the front of the mech, the record lifting arms should pull down clear of the carousel and return the record to the carousel. Stop turning the gear when the lobe of the cam has driven the lifting arms downward. Inspect your pin bank and push down any "popped" pins. This will prevent the juke from trying to start when you turn it back on.

Hope this helps

When the carousel reaches the correct count, the computer sends a signal to the gripper motor to start it. You could have a bad motor or a bad computer. But!....if the little switch at the front of the machine is in the off position (Gripper motor On/Off) that will give exactly the same effect. It's easy to knock Off when you are loading CDs.

ITS NOT THE WHEEL SPINNING ITS THE LASER ITS TRYING TO READ THE DISC THAT CAUSE IT TO SPIN FAST AND SLOW FAST AND SLOW YOUR LASER NEEDS A CLEAN
