Took it all to pieces last night . . . Gave the front a quick polish but it'll need a bit more elbow grease . . .
Discovered I have two small broken springs that help the music listing sheets "flap" (these springs are about $2 each).
Also discovered 2 wires that had apparently been cut . . . the switches they'd been cut from appear to be the coin/credit switches . . . THe unit was designed to take 5c, 10c and 25c coins to play 1,2 and 6 plays respectively.
The two wires appear to be to the nickel and dime switches so I'm guessing this was done so the unit rejected the lower value coins and only played for quarters . . . makes sense - it's an easy way to adjust for inflation with minimal agro.
The coin mech appears O.K - just a little stiff.
This is all fairly irrelevant, though, as I need very little for its planned purpose.
There's a company that apparently allow you to install an iPod inside the unit and make selections using the original hardware (buttons) . . . the kit is $109 but I need to do a bit more reading before going further . . . .
