Got a free jukebox a little while ago. Owner had it sitting in their garage for years and just wanted rid of it. Based on the 45s in it, it may have not been on since the mid 90s.
It seems to get power(it lights up) but that's it. It will not coin up with coin or manually. When you make a selection, the selector spins around the wheel and stops. The mechanism reset keeps tripping to where I can only get the turntable to spin for a few seconds. Also, the warning light for speaker overload stays on, even with the volume to zero. I even tried unhooking the speakers and it still stays on. None of the gears (selector or turntable) move when I make a selection. I checked connections and fuses and all seem to be good. Also, doused all the gears with WD-40 thinking they were seized or something.
I talked to a local repairman today on the phone and he gave a general estimate of about $300.00 to fix based off what I told him. I don't think this particular juke is worth that so I want to see what I can do myself. Unfortunately, I know nothing of jukeboxes.
Anyone got any tips or perhaps a source for a manual and/or troubleshooting guide?
