My jukebox world seems to be mainly one of bits recently. The Lyric is in bits waiting for chrome as I slowly dismantle the mech down to its base plate. It is an interesting but complicated business, a lot harder than an upright mechanism, which is why hardly anyone will ever bother to do it. The W2500 is in bits waiting metalwork as I slowly service each part ready to put back together. The Tele-disc is waiting for the amp. And the Rock-Ola regis is in bits waiting for metal polishing and....one day I will get round to working on it. But when the metalwork does come back, the reassambly is the fun part because everything looks so pristine.
