The bubble tube is broke - Wurlitzer Jukebox 1015 One More Time 100-Disc CD Changer

The air driven counter current is using rising bubble in the tubes in order to move water upward. Small bubbles rise to the surface and larger bubbles are injected into a small tube in the skimmer body moving water from the bottom upward and back into the tank.

Hi there

This company is no longer trading

The tube you talk about is an alcohol thermometer tube, the best option I can think of is to find another thermometer with the same graduations and the same length tube and change it to your old one

Hope this helps

They are probably made like the old Christmas tree bubble lights. These had a solution, I think it might have been calcium chloride and they were heated at the bottom end of the tube by an incandescent lamp that ran pretty hot. The lamps in your unit might be burnt out. I remember we had to tap the tubes lightly to get them to start bubbling sometimes.

although you may not noticed, there may be a slight leak somewhere within the tube. Take some dish soap, and roll the tube and see if any air bubble comes out of the trim area, if there are tiny bubbles coming out, then its time for a new one.

You can order bubble tubes and damaged front plastics from Deer Park Dist (618) 427-3761. Once you get the parts, remove the back of the unit. You will be able to see all the screws which hold on the front plastics. Removing the screws and the plastics to get easy access to the bubble tubes. A long screwdirver is helpful. The magnets in the speakers will grab the screws and the screwdriver from you.

Are the jets open? The center of the jets turn to adjust the pressure of the jets. If this is not the problem, there may be a problem with the impeller in the pump assembly. If you here the pump turning and not buzzing, it could be an air bubble in the suction tube. This tube is the one coming from the front of the pump, if the pump is higher than the tube coming from the tub, or if there is a high spot in the tube, an air bubble is a real possibility. If the tube is level with the pump, there should be no problem with air bubbles and the problem lies in the top part of this paragraph.

sounds like a vacuum leak

I have bubble tubes in stock. You just need to tell me which one you need. I can tell you the replacement procedure also. Please email [email protected].

If both bubble tubes has stopped working on one side then the problem is more likely to be a power issue. Somehow the power is not getting to the tube heaters. On the Wurlitzer OMT there is a small module on the inside of the main door that distributes the power to the various bubble tubes and the page turner (CD models). If the plug is loose or the wire is broken then that could cause one side to be off.

Pick up a kit for bicycle repair. Take the wheel off, deflate, pull the wheel from the rim and remove the tube. Pump the tube up a little, place under water and look for the bubbles. Once you find the bubbles, patch with the bike tire repair kit, deflate, put the tube back in, reattach tire to rim and inflate.
