Remove the tonearm. It just sits on the tonearm post and can easily be
lifted off. The cable is clamped to the rear of the post and the clamp will
need to be loosened. Remove all the record trays and secure the carriers so
they can't swing about although if it;s on it's back that shouldn't be much
of a problem. When originally shipped from the factory the speaker baffle
board was secured to the speaker door with two woodscrews (it normally
floats on 3 rubber mounts) and the mech chassis was locked up to the mech
shelf with two shipping bolts (it is normally suspended on 4 springs). I've
never found the location for these two mythical bolts on my 1100 but I would
certainly want to secure it somehow as it's quite heavy and lying on it's
back without being secured would probably not be a good thing. You might be
able to get away with screwing up the 4 suspension springs; they are
adjustable but 2 are somewhat tricky to get at without a long tube spanner
or socket. Other than that, just common sense I guess. You might want to
check that all the internal components are secure, the amp, pre-amp,
junction box and coin box and it might be an idea to remove all the valves
(tubes) just in case something goes flying about inside. It weighs around
350 pounds so you need to think how you're going to get it in to your
vehicle and out again at the other end.
Good luck, the 1100 is a great machine and I'm sure you'll get a lot of
enjoyment from it.
Post by KIRI might be picking up a Wurlitzer 1100 in my small SUV. What needs to
locked down and/or tightened to ensure the jukebox makes it home
safely? Thanks in advance.
