Wurlitzer 2400: Chinese Torture rescue - Part 1

HELP ME!

Almost 2 months ago, I found a Wurlitzer 2400 jukebox literally in the middle of nowhere. An uncle of mine had it stored inside an old warehouse, and water was falling over it: like a Chinese torture. Pity I didn't know about it a few months (or even years) ago.

According to him, he wanted to use it on New Year's eve and when he tried to turn it on, the warehouse fuse blew. Needless to say the amp made a shortcut, damaging the junction box as well.

What I started to do once I had it home, was disassembling the metallic pieces for the sanding and primer process. Back then, I didn't have the service manual, therefore I had to take TONS of pictures for the piece by piece disassembling.

Below some examples.

If you ever care about the records, there is nothing that you may know: Only Latin music and sadly not the best.

The W will receive powder coat, the chrome parts will be re-chromed. The aluminum place will be polished and the back and upper part will be sanded.


THIS is what really worries me:

Despite several mechanical parts can be found online (The Jukebox Junkyard,  Victory Glass,  Jukebox Revival, Musical Fun for Everyone, eBay, etc) so far, I haven't seen a motor listed. I took it last week to a guy who works with electromechanical motors and he will check it. I hope to have an answer during this week.


2 weeks ago, the service manual arrived, making my life easier in regards to order any missing/damaged part. However the project is on stand by since I found a Funhouse machine...

A work in Progress

First of all, Hello!

I've decided it's time to create a website where I can document my progress restoring pins, arcades and jukes.

Since the pinball scene is almost null in my corner of the world,  I don't think there is another website like this Made in Costa Rica.

During the next days, I'll upload some pictures of my current work in progress projects, which are a Funhouse Pinball machine and a Wurlitzer 2400 jukebox.
