Remote control does not work with unit

Ken, the remote manufacturer can tell you if it is compatible with Wurlitzer,
a lot of time it is on the packaging of universal remotes.

RC Remote control for Wurlitzer Jukebox

If you wish to buy its original remote control, contact the authorized service centre, or authorized dealer to your device brand. They can either give you a genuine remote control to your device, or can direct you, from where can you purchase a suitable one.
To select a proper universal remote control, you should know about the number of digits to its set-up codes. There are 3 digit, 4 digit, 5 digit, 2 digit and even single digit codes, to some brand devices. After confirming this, check the sites linked here. Both the sites have set-up code list and set-up procedure to many popular brand remote controls. Check which brand remote control has set-up code/s to your device brand, and buy that one according to availability.
Brand name of the remote control isn't a matter, but it should have set-up codes in its code list, to the device brand you have.
Please note: Every new universal remote control will have set-up code list, and set-up procedure along with its pack. Never accept a remote control, that hasn't both of this. For more details about the set-up codes, visit the site http://electrohelponline.blogspot.com/ Check this site too. http://remotesearch.blogspot.com/ Universal remote controls are available at most of the electronic spare part selling shops.
Type in the brand name of your device, in the search box [at the top right] of the display window, and press enter to get all related posts. It will make surf easy.

You can't operate those 2 functions without the remote.

Here is a link to obtain the owner/user manual for that wurlitzer if you would like it:

1. Turn power on using either the remote or power button located behind tuner door.

2. Push CD / RADIO BUTTON (25) to enable FM tuner.

3. Turn FM dial to desired station.

4. Position FM ANTENNA (16) for best reception.

5. Set volume to desired listening level.

In earlier models you plugged either the remote box OR the volume control box into the same socket on the amp. If you still have the volume control box simply plug it in where the remote is plugged in.

If you have a remote control , unplug the lead from the volume control (at the back of the machine) and instead of it plugging into the Inrfa Red control unit in the base of the cabinet, plug it straight into the amp volume input.
There has been problems with the remote that does what you are suggesting so this will prove the point.

The fault you describe is one I have seen before. Last time I saw it, it was caused by the remote control unit being faulty (the hand held bit). So if you changed the kit then you are still using the same remote hand held bit and getting the same fault.
I have never established if this works but try hitting the volume button and then threwing the remote into another room or wave it behind the wall of a doorway so the infrared has no direct line to the jukebox. If the volume doesn't continue to increase....that proves the point one way or another.

If it is an infrared remote control like a TV remote, then you just take the batteries out.
