Drop Kick Me Jesus

18 Jan 2021

Finally got the Wurlitzer moved upstairs and while assessing the work, a message from beyond appeared:

Drop Kick Me Jesus

…which sorta describes my feeling after looking around inside


Wurlitzer 2710 Top Hits Button

The “Top Tunes” button is definitely dead.

Wurlitzer 2710 Top Hits Button Mechanism

…due in large part to the fact that the mechanism is hanging out the back of the jukebox.

This is broken and needs replacing anyway (notice the fractured PCB)


Wurlitzer 2710 Dirty Amplifier

The amplifier is positively filthy. Getting this gross thing clean and tested is at the top of the list.


Wurlitzer 2710 Back View

A full view of the back of the filthy animal.


Fortnuately, Ebay seems to have a good selection of parts for this machine, and the manuals can be obtained for a fair price.
