Hi Richbooth
If your SC2 is wired the same as an SC1 it would appear that you have wired your transformer to the small connector strip that I believe was intended for the income totaliser.
Locate the 7 terminal stip and connect your transformer to black (ground ) and white (25VAC )
The choice of having it working on coins or free play is up to you.
Providing your wallbox has a credit unit that has no broken gears ( they are plastic & the teeth shear off) there is no reason why you can’t have it working on coins.
Theres no mention of it in the manual for the wb2mp3 but the literature from data sync the following, I am not sure why the resistor is required just passing on the info.
Hope the information helps.

Hi Simong
I have had no personal experience with that particular wallbox2mp3 unit, so I could be wrong but I can’t imagine that it would be much different to the V1.3 & V1.4 which I have used.
So to the first part of your question regarding the possibility of having an Album for one or more selections, yes that is possible, say for instance the album you want to use contains 18 tracks (18 separate MP3 files ) you would have to join them together so they become one MP3 file , this can be done quite easily without having to buy or download any special software, try googling Audio joiner, you just upload the files you want, click join or merge (can’t remember how it’s actually worded) once it’s done it asks you if you wish to download the single MP3 file. It’s very easy if I can do it!
Once the album is playing it will play all of the tracks in the same order as they were uploaded, you can’t skip a particular track or a group of tracks.
If you press the cancell switch it will stop playing that particular track and move onto the next selection (if any have been made) or just stop.
I am fairly sure that Randy has a Packard unit, he may be able to offer you further advice on this subject or correct any errors I may have made.

Good to hear that your now sorted, perhaps when you have got it all together you could post some photos, show us what you have been creating.
If your interested there is a way to pair up tracks that are by a common artist so when the title cards are produced they are as they would have been on a Jukebox with an A side & B side.

Hi Doogle
So you have your selected MP3 files & got them on to your SD card, and chosen a colours / fonts for your title strips, at the bottom of the page there should be a box with Build title strips in PDF, did you click on that ? If not click on it it will open another box that will ask you to name the file, once you have named it click on the save box.
You should get a congratulations message saying your PDF file is done click ok
It should open the PDF showing the title strip pages themselves plus a selection sheet. If it doesn’t open automatically go to documents find the PDF file and open it.
Take the time to check through the title strips for errors and spelling mistakes.
Once your happy with them there’s a print option at the top of the screen.

Good Evening Doogle
The user manual for the V1.5 is available to view / print in the Support section on this website.
There may be quicker / easier / better ways of building a play list for your wallbox but this is how I go about it.
The method I use to create a playlist for the SD card is
1 Create a new folder in documents and name it i.e. Wallbox playlist.
2 Open windows media player and choose an album that contains a track that you want, left click to highlight the required track, right click on the track which will open a drop box at the bottom of the list is Open file location, click on open file location once it as opened the location right click on the required file, in the drop box click on copy.
3 Go to documents open the folder that you created in step one, right click & click paste, you should now have one MP3 track in the folder.
Once you get the hang of it it’s quite straight forward, keep adding subsequent required tracks to the folder in the same manner untill you have the required amount of tracks for your particular wallbox.
Hope this helps

I had the same problem with my Wurlitzer 5250, where by when I made the selection A1 what actually played would be the track that was allocated to D1 so was completely missing the first 30 tracks, so by the time I got to any of the T,U or V selections there was no tracks left, because when S zero was selected it had played the track allocated to V zero.
Initially I thought it may have been a fault on the 5250 but concluded it was a software issue after trying a known good 5210 with the wb2mp3 & having the same issues.
At the time the M##sel file option was not available, so I ended up after much trial & error configuring the sd for a Rockola 1555 & then changing the way that the 5250 pages are numbered (numerical ) to the way that the 5210’s were numbered (alphabetical)
I agree with Randy if you have only had the unit a week it should be one of the latest spec with the problems sorted.
Cheers Scudie
Just had a thought I seem to remember some one saying that to correct a problem on a Wurlitzer they had numbered the selections 10 to 210 instead of 1 to 200.
If your happy that the 3wa is creating the correct signal for each selection , it might be worth trying altering the way your files are numbered on your SD card?
Cheers Scudie
Hi folks
I have not had a V1.5 connected to a 3WA only an older unit either a 1.3 or 1.4, I dont remember having any issues with the song selections my self with the the 3wa.
I have had a couple of Seeburgs where a wire has broken off the underside of the pulse generating disc.
Unless you have already done so I would start by checking that the 3wa is creating the correct pulse for each of the 200 selections.
Cheers Scudie
Good to see you have it powered up, will be interesting to see what you are able to do with it, keep us informed.
Cheers Scudie
There seems to be a bit of delay between posts being posted and them appearing on the forum.
Its good to see that Christophe now has it powered up.
I have seen the adapter for CD wallbox also the one for WRE/F seems a bit strange that there doesn’t seem to be anything for Christophe’s WRD.
I have not seen one of the WR CD wallbox’s how does the song listing work? a mate of mine has a CD Juke box that holds 100 CD’s he uses the CD inserts from the cd case’s they simply fit into motorised pages inside the jukebox. Cant imagine you have the space for CD inserts inside a wallbox.

Good Aternoon Guys
From Memory that connector strip looks to be different to the WRA that I converted & have the manual for. Glad that Randy was able to help although the label should be fairly self explanatory.
On the subject of transformers I use a 25Vac terroidal tranformer from RS electronics, they do appear to have a French website.
The part number is 671-8956
I Don’t know how they compare in price to stuff for sale on Ebay might be worth taking a look.
Cheers Scudie
Don’t worry I have tried! But no such luck so far.
On the video of the radio there is a Rowe ami wallbox on the wall behind the radio what model is it WRD WRE?
Do you have it connected to anything ?
Theres a guy called Christophe on here asking for information regarding connections on a WRD .
Cheers Scudie
Hi Christophe
Perhaps if you could post a photo of the inside of the WRD showing the connector strip someone may be able to identify them?
Cheers Scudie
Hi Christophe
If you are contemplating connecting a Rowe Ami WRD 200 to a wallbox2mp3 adapter it may be an idea to email Fabien or Gaëlle for advice on the compatibility of a Rowe Ami WRD 200 with a wallbox2mp3 unit, as far as I can see the WRD is not currently on the list of compatible wallbox’s although there is a photo of one adjacent to the list which is a little confusing.
There is a manual for the WRA WRB & WRC in the Support section, I think the WRD was there first wallbox that was solid state so the manual for the others may be of no use to you with the WRD.
Sorry I can’t be of any further help with the manual.
Cheers Scudie
Cracking Idea well impressed with that, especially the tuning in effect before the song starts.
Wish I had the room for a pinball machine never mind four!
Sort of ran it past the planning department a few years ago, was told to get shut of some bikes and I could have one in the garage.
Cheers Scudie
Good evening Doogle
When I said try looking on the well known auction website I did not mean to suggest looking for either second hand or items being sold as new by any one else other than the manufacturer of the product.
I knew that Fabien and the team at Retroelektronic had previously sold the units by this method, I didn’t suggest the where to buy section on here as I had assumed that you had taken a look on here befor posting the question .
Appologies if my suggestion was misleading, good luck with your project.
Cheers Scudie.
Hi Doogle
Might be worth taking a look on a well known auction website as they used to sell them on there.
What wall box are you thinking/ intending of using?
Cheers Scudie
Hi Christophe
If my translation is correct that is excellent news, hopefully that will mean that the V1.5 should become available to purchase again soon.
And may be the V2 will be continued in development.
Cheers Scudie
Hi Roger
I converted a WRA 200 a couple of years ago, I can’t remember having any issues with the audio side of things.
I assume that you have fitted a wire from terminal #2 Vac to # 4 as shown in the manual, only other thing I can suggest is check that the contacts in the Audio control relay are clean, making a good circuit & closed when they should be.
On Seeburg SC’s I clean the contacts then close them manually and secure them with a small cable tie so the contacts remain closed, I also disconnect the trigger wire from the relay so that it doesn’t buz or get hot.
Cheers Scudie
