This can also be done on the two open relays on the keyboard (these relays are under a plastic cover, if it is still on the jukebox). With regards to the search unit the PCB can be cleaned with a pencil rubber (eraser) and the open relay contacts cleaned with a taper of paper pulled between the contacts. A spot of oil could be put on the indexing linkage after it has been stripped down and cleaned. Lubrication on the mechanism other than the trunnion which has already been covered is a spot of oil on all of the pivot points on the idlerwheel linkage, a spot of oil on the shaft that the idlerwheel fits on, a thin film placed on the turntable shaft put on with your finger, a sot of oil on the top oil pad on the turntable motor and a spot put down the bottom bearing oil tube. These can be replaced back onto the mechanism once it is clean.

The turntable and idlerwheel and linkage can be striped down and washed to remove any trace of oil. Reassemble the gripper bow lubricating only the trunnion casting pivot points (this should be high melting point grease put into the two casting sockets) check out the nylon trunnion gear and cam gear for any wear and replace them if it is required.Ĭlean down the mechanism/carousel using a damp soapy cloth and rinse with another dam cloth. You will need to clean the mechanism down, I would strip of the search unit and remove the gripper bow assembly (strip all the parts off of the assembly and wash down with soapy water, rinse and dry. I suggest that you remove all the major parts out of the jukebox and clean the interior of the cabinet with soapy water, rinse and dry well.

You need to carefully clean this jukebox to get rid of all the dust and dirt in cabinet.
