Push buttons, switches and light diffuser

Rust and dirt on the forty switches, a cleaning was of course needed.

All buttons except no 33 was ok, had to buy a replacement from Bill Butterfield CA USA

Color diffuser mech rusty.....

Not much of the colors is left on the diffuser glass.

All push buutons was cleaned and I found that no 33 was really bad so i orderd a replacement from Bill Butterfield (Music For Fun)  in US.

Transparent plastic foil was the solution.

Not bad at all :-)

Popularity meter

The popularity meter is a mech part that counts how many times a record have been played, the design is bad and troublesome and many users removes this.

 But as I have all parts I decided to refurbish it.

The popularity meter concists of 60 small "cog wheels" washers, springs and lockrings that must be cleaned and polished. Almost all "cog wheels" are also deformed (due to the bad design) and must be aligned one by one.

Before the refurbish

The popularity meter is the orange long part in the center

All small parts after cleaning

Installed with a my own designed label, not prefect colors but good enough!

Grille stars

Selector cleaning

This was a PITA to do, as the springs loaded 30 pin's on the four sectors was almost impossible to get in place and fit intothe corresponding hole, I first tryed locking them with a small plastic gas hose but that didnt work att all. The spring loaded pins just launched like mini rockets just looking on them.

Finely after weeks of testing different solutions to hold the pins, I invented the "opposit spring solution" which hold the pins/springs in place.

The inner diam of the corresponting spring must be 4,5mm (spot on) to work.

Here is the selector after opening up, with 120 coils/springs/pins and 6 clapper coil asm in the center

The spring solution

Rubber hoses centers the springloded 30 pins.
