How much for the 3700 manual?

No carousel motion I don't know if you resolved this yet, but I had the same problem with my 3700. It turned out to be the "safety switch" mounted at the base of the record lift arm. This switch is made when the arm is in the home position and if it isn't being set the carousel wont turn. I...

Do you still have any of the 3700 Amps? I just found out my "A" channel is toast... Thanks, Tony

Zen and the art of Jukebox maintenance I think it is fun and good for your mental health too. I had to work late last night and by the time I got home around 8pm I was beat. I sat down with my wife figuring to watch a little TV and call it a day. Then she mentioned I got a box from UPS..the...

I finally traced it to the safety switch at the base of the arm assembly. There is a pin through the record lift arm that makes the switch when the arm is in the home position. It had apparently been knocked out of position and missed the switch completely. I also fixed the 33/45 RPM...

Hi Ken, Thanks for the info, I signed up over there today.

After cleaning many contacts and using lube on anything that moved my 3700 now almost works. I select a few plays, the programmer moves and selects the right pins, so far so good...but the record carousel never moves. It is free, and I can manually turn it and when it lines up with a selection...

Stupid noobie tricks, part I As for the mysterious problem that started a few weeks back where the record was placed on the turntable and would immediately reject back to the carousel, I happened to be reading another message in here where someone mentioned a "reject switch" on his juke.. I...

2 EM pins, 1 slot, 1 juke I only like the EM pins, the clack of the relays and stepper switches is like music. My first was a Gottlieb Bronco 4 player that I got working after finding a few broken wires where they were soldered to various mechanisms. One of my kids gave me a Darling 2 player...

3700 manual If you could that would be great. I have a manual I bought and downloaded but it seems to be missing some info. Any chance you could scan the table of contents?

How about for a Wurlitzer 3700?

Found the Triacs! I still have a whole lot to learn about this juke..I guess that is part of the fun tho'. I couldn't see any square parts with heatsinks until I noticed hinges on the bottom of the component boxes that were mounted on the back panel of the juke.. I unscrewed the top screw on...

The old triacs from hell blues Thanks again Fullthrottle, I'll check those little suckers out in the next day or two.. right now the wife is on me to get the house ready for my granddaughters birthday party this weekend (she will be 3) Where is a good place to pick up the triacs? Does Radio...

Thanks Ken, first I need to get this working and the amp upgrade will be my next project.

Almost forgot to ask.. Are the Triacs those guys that look like transistors mounted on the big heatsink? There are 4 of them. It has been a long time since I went to electronics training but do the triacs have 3 test points, two pins and the case? (Emitter/gate and Collector?) and meter out...
