I live in England and have the same jukebox...I have iwned it since 1970 (39 years) it has never been restored and has never broken down but as it gets little use currently, the contacts get a little dusty and need cleaning.. brilliant machine with real vintage sound

[jonsey44]

WOW now that is one cool machine

..Talk about "HIGH FIDELITY"... no wonder it ain't a jukebox unless it's a WurliTzer!~

[ishredu]

they are VERY failure prone mechanisms though I swore of wurlitzers years ago they look pretty and when they work [rarely] they are wonderful sounding machines word to the wise..don't put any records you cherish into one of these box's! i had several get cracked in my 2300s

I have 3 Wurlitzer jukeboxes and 1 Seeburg. I have had a 2000 Wurlitzer for 35 years an 1800 and 1900 for 28 years. My father constantly played the 2000 for years. It never broke down or damaged any records. Both Seeburg and Wurlitzer were dependable, as they had to be to hold up to heavy use in bars and restaurants.

[ishredu]

obviously they were designed for commercial use but they did have high failure rates, I know plenty of old ops that refused to use them favoring seeburgs or ami

The Seeburg machanism is a better design. It is more compact and has less moving parts. turntable speed is more accurate. Seeburg also has built in safeguards. If the record hangs up and does not return to library it will not try to cycle to next record causing mechanism and record damage, a Wurlitzer will continue causing damage. I've had no problems with either and enjoy both. I did have many problems with an AMI contl 11. You have a nice collection of Seeburgs

@maynardcat Incorrect on just about every point you made. Wurlitzers of this period change records faster and are easier on records than Seeburg. Ever heard of a record being "Seeburged" because it was worn out in a Seeburg 45 mechanism? Turntable speed isn't less accurate in a Wurlitzer. The problem is that no parts vendors sell the right gauge belt. Hard to beat a Wurlitzer turntable drive of this period. Also, the Wurlitzer DOES have a kill switch. if a record gets jammed in it, it stops.

@SeeburgMusic I understand your point of view, but my comment was made with my experience with the jukeboxes I own, The Seeburg R I have does have a very light tracking updated Pickering cartridge that I carefully balanced for aniti skating etc. The original Seeburg red head was about the worst cartridge ever.The stylus was like a little ice pick and did destroy records in one playing, and yes it was harder on records than the Wurlitzer cobra, which was not very easy on records either..

[maynardcat]

@SeeburgMusic The Wurlitzer does have a kill switch, but this happened to me,unlike the Seeburg that prevents it from returning to the magazine, it got past the Wurlitzer's and back in the carousel, . With the damaged record not properly seated the carousel continued on crunching the record, and not really the Wurlitzer's fault Since owning these jukeboxes since the 80's I had only this one record damaged. They are both great machines equal in quality ,and very enjoyable.

@maynardcat  Do you know who has really excellent Cobra cartridges now? Mine sound so terrible :(

[maynardcat]

@SeeburgMusic I think I can find out who sells them. It's still in my PC somewhere,and it is getting as junky as my workshop. Will advise you as soon as I locate it.
