How Does a Wurlitzer Jukebox Work?
About Wurlitzer Jukeboxes Wurlitzer jukeboxes are automated machines outfitted with a selection of records, CDs, or songs stored in digital format. They are equipped with buttons for each song or track; when a patron puts in coins to pay for a song and then pushes a button, the jukebox plays that selection. Record Jukeboxes In record Wurlitzer jukeboxes, buttons are attached to casings that hold records. When a coin is inserted, a mechanism is unlocked, allowing for the selection of a record. The push of the button selecting a record triggers a belt-driven carousel on which the records rest. The selected record is brought to the side of the jukebox, where a gripper arm closes pads around the side of the record and lowers it to a belt-driven turntable to play. The needle drops automatically when the record has been placed on the turntable. When the record is finished playing, the needle lifts and the gripper arm picks up the record and puts it back in its slot on the carousel. CD jukebo
