Hi Tony,

I have the record clamp:

https://flippers.com/catalog_oc/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=8106&search=133434

and can take a look if I have the springs on one of my wrecks. If you
can send the page number for these spring that will help!

Hi John, I did list the page numbers up above. They are from a 1050 manual but I don't know if the page numbers are the same for a 3700 manual?

Tony
Sorry for the google groups post, I don't know if it works the same as "real" usenet.

Hey, Tony.................. I'd like to ask you about my Wurlitzer 1050, (Sonata), box because I know
you have worked on a few in the past:

My box keeps repeating the "B" side of every record. When a B side is placed on the turntable, I can
see a coil armature energizing in an attempt to push the pin back down, (underneath the record
carousel), but when it hits the actuator, (which hits the selection pin), the other side of the actuator
appears to begin to slip out of its housing and the pin doesn't get pushed back down. I don't see any
way this actuator gets housed. It looks like a 2-inch long flat piece of metal approx 1/4 inch wide
and gets struck by a coil that gets energized when the B-side gets placed on the turntable. I can
see it happening when I get on my knees and watch by peeking underneath the carousel of records.
How does and where does this piece attach to it's housing?

Thanks for any help you can offer me! John, if you have any answers, I'm all ears. I already have the
manual, but, (as usual), this area is not covered, only a parts number is given.

Hi Ron,

You need the 3700 (not the 3800) manual which covers the electrical and
audio of the 1050. Also the large foldout sheet for the 3710 should work
- it has the sequence of operations, which is really handy.

The B side of the pin cancel assembly may have a problem, can you email
me some photos of the assembly? I have parts for that unit.

Hi Tony,

There is a test Usenet site for this sort of thing... try alt.test

"I see nothing, Colonel Hogan!"

I'm using giganews on Thunderbird (mac) - if you are having trouble with
the settings just send me a note!

ACCOUNT SETTINGS

Server Type: News Server (NNTP)

Server Name: (your news server) Port: 119 (Default 119)

Connection Security: None (usually works)

Server Settings (set what you want)

...

Message Storage

Message Store Type: File per folder (mbox)

News.rc File (select - usually something like /Users/(your computer
name)/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/default.emc/News/newsrc-news.giga

Local Directory: /Users/(your computer
name)/Library/Thunderbird/Profiles/default.emc/News/news.giganews.com

Default Text Encoding: Western ISO-8859-1

Those are essentially my settings, modify per your computer.
