think it's great you took the time to post the above, even though you had to figure it out yourself.

 

think the lack of response is because very few members are into (real) jukeboxes.

 

have a nice, clean wurtlizer 2150 from 1957 sitting here waiting patiently to be restored.

great to see people looking after these old machines..

"heads Up" do not use 3 in 1 motor oil

it is very aggressive & will destroy plastic & rubber components also not good for motor winding's

you should ONLY use 100% synthetic oil & not that dodgy synthetic oil from a car parts shop

 

any way do you need any parts for this 448 ?? i just scrapped one ..
