Tony I have an idea for you, come up with a voice chip that says "this phone does not answer calls that are listed as unavailable". Design this in with the little caller I.D. units put out by the phone company. Cas

I've always thought Seeburg jukeboxes were the best. I am very glad someone has a site devoted to these great machines, and I guess that is because I have a couple with the black and gray boxes!

Is there a way a Seeburg ss-160 Stereo Showcase
can be converted to 160 microcomputer selection using SMC 160 components? Most of the converting
wolud require replacing the 133s6 mech. with a 160st29 mech. Would you need to some how install
the digital selector/display unit where the album
display would normally be?

I own a Seeburg Discotheque Jr. U100 which was produced from 1964 to 1966.
The machine is in a terrible state and in parts. I intend to restore it.
I like yous site very much as you seem to share your knowledge and are not trying to sell stuff in the first place!
I ´veNever done any jukeboxrepair before. My question, for a start, is where do I best (i.e.
cheapest) get a service manual? What else is necessary before getting
started?
Thanks for any hints!

I just purchased my first Juke and it's a Seeburg SMC1. Of course, as is my tendency, I purchased in non-working. Who can learn anything on something that is working? I am surfing the web, looking for helpful sites to educate myself a bit for the battle ahead. Anyone who would be a resource for me... please email.

Very interesting info on your web site. I'm looking forward to future installments! I've been a Seeburg fan since I did maintenance on my family's route back in the mid 1950's. Seeburgs of that era were definitely a class act!!!

I have the book on black and grey boxes via GameRoom mag. It was great to see how the electronic selection interfaced with the tormats.
i've fix many mid vintage [V to LS2] seeburgs for friends and fun, but had no idea how the keypad entry worked. a friend gave me a rowe 89 case in trade for helping change a flat cam in a 201 seeburg. it had'nt seen oil in years. I now have a rowe-burg made from the rowe case and leftover seeburg parts. kd 200 frame, tormat, and stepper {home made power suply for stepper, and free play relays.} 3WA wallbox. LS1 mech, and control center [yep plays 7" 33s]. SHP1 amp [caution rowe cabinet speaker wiring is out of phase to facilitate center chanel external spkr.]
so far it works great on the wallbox but I am not going to mount the KD key board I will do something custom, but not sure what yet.
it is a work in process.

I is sure nice that someone with your knowledge and background is willing to help people with their jukeboxes. I recently purchased a Seeburg FC1 Regency. I would not have bought it had it not been for your web site and some others that gave me the confidence to buy it and know that I could enjoy it for years to come. Thank You.

Great site with tons of valuable info. I own a USC1 that is in fair condidtion. It was my parents and I always used to keep it working. They gave it to me about 10 years ago and it has work ocasionally (it seems to have a mind of its own). After finding your site, I think I might be ready to really get it working. I plan on ordering your book and armed with that and all these other Seeburg fans, I'm sure it will be back in business! Thanks again.

55Tue Feb 5 2002 17:18Tom Garcia lvlus@hotmail.com
I have an FC1 with the problem that it does not play side two of any record. Your site led me to believe the problem is in the Tormac unit. It came with the same problem but after I cleaned it up a little and pushed in all connections to ensure snugness, the problem disappeared. Recently, I tugged on the connection to the Tormac unit because I was going to replace the top, and since then the problem has returned. I will check it out some more, but I want to thank you for the information on your site. It has been very helpful to me.

I have a broken STD2 that I need your help in
fixing. I have your Black box book and almost
have it memorized. My problem is that when I
select a 1 or 2 I get no response, when I select
any other digit the Reset lamp appears. I
purchased a consolette and substituted the D.E.S.
and Black Box with no change. I then powered up
the consolette with 24 volts and neither Black box
exhibits the problem. I have adjusted all the
contacts on the Black Box and D.E.S. to insure
contact and checked the DCC output voltages. I
need some help on what to look at next. My next
step is to hook up the consolette to bypass the
selection process of the jukebox. Do you have a
list of the consolette pinouts so I can hook it
up? The Remote connector on the DCC has a plug
with awire in pin 2 that has me confused.
Any help you can give me would be greatly
appreciated.
Thank you,
Chip Laugal

Hello,
I own a Seeburg Entertainer ESTD2 and have a small problem:
When I switch on the jukebox and make a selection, the mechanism scans twice, picks up nothing and then stops. When I wait about 5 minutes everything works fine.
Where can I look for that problem. Is there someone in Germany, who can help me? Please send an email to me.

My son and I started The Jukebox Junkyard in 1975 after I retired from 25 years of head technician for a major southeatern jukebox distributor. We have avvumulated over 700 old boxes that we either part out or refurbish for sale. Although we sell and service all old models, Seeburg is the premier manufacturer. We specialize in converting the old tube type control centers to solid-state operation. We also have developed a foolproof solid-state credit system.

Hello, your site had some good photo's my favourite of the period was the Matador. Did you ever come across Norman Craven a jukebox engineer from the UK he is the only service engineer that I know of who went to Seeburg for training. He used to work for Dransfield Novelty in Leeds around 1976-1980 I used to work with him, infact he taught me all I know about Seeburgs. I spoke to him last year he is 84 (or there abouts) If he couldn't repair the jukebox he would play the piano & sing.

Regards.

Thanks for all the great technical information on Seeburgs. I especially liked the troubleshooting stuff, and found it very useful. I would be even MORE thrilled if you would put out a book on the Seeburg stereo TUBE amplifiers, like the SHFA3, 4, 5, etc. These are great amps, but a LOT can go wrong with them (capacitors, resistors, etc.) A troubleshooting guide for these amps would be a real boon.

Although I don't yet have a digital Seeburg (would like to have an STD-2, though), I was still able to use your information to troubleshoot my LPC1 and LS1. The LPC1. in particular, had multiple Tormat problems and I would have been lost without the information here.
106Thu Aug 29 2002 18:10Mark Gehl magehl@charter.net
I own a Seeburg STD2 Entertainer. I think it needs a serious cleaning. It also appears that the woofers are blown out and will have to be replaced.

I need a book that can help some one as inept as myself through this process. Are either of your books my answer?
107Sat Aug 31 2002 21:08Steve Hoff remix12@in.net
I just found your site while doing a Google search. I picked up the following and I'm sure I will be able to use your books. I have already purchased the SHP amp book from Always Jukin'and plan on getting the black / grey box book.
SMC1, STD2 QUAD (any idea on how many of these were made? It also had the decoder and autospeed unit still there), STD2, STD160, SPS2, SPS160, USC1 and 2 USC2s. Thanks for making the web site. Steve Hoff

I was employed in the vending business from 1979 to 1989, almost exclusively repairing and rebuilding Rowe phonographs. However, the company I worked for had all of the big four's boxes. We had a few Seebergs out there and I found them to be the best phonos we owned. (They all sounded great!) Anyway, I've been looking around for a jukebox for the house and it will be a Seeberg.

Very interesting site. I am the original owner of a Seeburg-Stern VMC. The sound system on it is one of its great assets. It's still running after 20 years. Since you worked at URL on the original selection electronics for this machine, maybe you can answer a burning question for me. Was the B/W "video screen" consolette for this machine ever produced? It showed up in the original flyer for VMC, but I never physically saw one. What is the story on this? I would love to get my hands on one! Also, if ever the main controller boards for this beast break down, is there any chance of getting a repair? Thx

Hi Tony and others a message from the netherlands,
had fun reading through the info and finding out there is a lot of info still to be found on the digital units seeburg/stern made.
I've been fiddeling around with mcu's and greyboxen and many other jukebox electronic components for some 10 years now and keep running into brickwalls as soon as a microprocessor turns out to be dead.
Hope there will be a solution soon, i've seen many jukeboxen being scrapped because of the MCU being defective.

keep up the good work :-)

Warren Rowe and I probably have the most knowledge of these machines in this area (So. Calif.). Do you know of a replacement for the keyboard that Chomerics made for this machine?

Hello -

Discovered your site while browsing for info about the Seeburg Entertainer.

I have one which I obtained from an acquaintence for free simply for getting it out of his apartment. When powered up, the carriage automatically begins to move back and forth and continues to do so. The machine does not respond at all when selections are attempted. While the carriage is moving back and forth, by activating a lever on the carriage manually, the carriage will stop, select the record at that location, play it, and return it to its slot.

Due to the fact that the machine seems to play well as far as sound quality and can be manually made to select a random record, I'm suspect that it may not be a major problem to repair it. My problem is that I am virtually clueless in the field of electronics as evidenced by my inability to understand most of what is on your website to aid in troubleshooting.

Can you refer me to anyone in the Philadelphia / South Jersey area who might be able to look at my machine and give me an estimate for repair/reconditioning?

(I could possibly swap the use of a cottage here in Ocean City, a seashore resort, in exchange for repair)

Thanks.

I have a problem with my V200. It will not stop scanning. I have just re assembled the jukebox after re chroming some of the parts and this problem has occurred. I hope that the information on your site will help to establish the cause. All worked well before I stripped the box which came to me from the USA. Maybe it is an assembly problem. Should all of the tubes light up when the box is on standby?

Hi,

I am the proud, new owner of a Seeburg SPS160 Olympian jukebox. Unfortunately, right now it is all apart. I mean all apart.

This is what happened. Friends of my sister's had moved to Florida and they did not want to take the jukebox with them. Since my 50th birthday was coming up (January 21st), my sister purchased it from them (I do not know how much she paid for it). Mike (the guy who sold it) had taken it apart. A guy (he's around 80 and I do not know his name) who serviced Mike's machine over the years advised Mike how to take it apart (suppossedly it should have only been in 3 or 4 separate pieces). Well, Mike really took it apart.

Anyway, while I was at the Eagles playoff game against Carolina, the elderly man was suppossed to have put it together so that when I came back from the game, I would have been suprised. Well, when he arrived at my house and saw how apart it was, he didn't want to have anything to do with it. When my sister contacted Mike (in Florida), he and his wife are planning on coming up in April (they have a house in New Jersey and will live there for six months) and he said he will put it back together.

I am a little skeptical about Mike being able to do this when the elderly guy would not even touch it. I really don't want to wait until April (today is February 4th, 2004) and was wondering if you had any suggestions for me.

Please write back when you can.

Thanks,

Mary

To those former employees at 1500 N. Dayton, My hat is off to you. As a 14 year old kid from Detroit visiting Chicago, I was welcomed into the plant and given an informal tour. I really liked the vending machines set on "free play" . I remember the red brick office building on the South end. Sadly, that was the first sign of the demise. At least the factory building has been put to use again as a high end Home Depot these days. Who would have known that the real estate value of that property would be worth more than what Stern paid XCOR for the Juke Box assets!

I wonder why Seeburg thought it fit , in those days, to change its designs from the V-200 and Showcase models tpo the other less attractive models like Mustang etc which do not show the working mechanism.

I have a V-200, a Showcase and a Mustang model as also an AMI . But , of course , my favourite is the V-200! Its display and its rotating drum for selections is outstanding.

I am glad someone with your background is devoting time and effort to this group.

I am located in India and by my reckoning there are about 200-500 working units in India but these will get junked over the next 5 years. A tragedy indeed considering that they are available at a throwaway price.

Seems any time I search the internet for Seeburg, I find either Ron Rich or Tony Miller answering a question for someone. You wrote some good stuff here on this site! I'm glad I happened accross it! I ran service on a vending route back in the 70's. We had 100 selects through the Disco models. I'm still amazed that you can take a tone arm assembly off a Seeburg Disco and it will mount right on a Seeburg 100C. Just add a TSA amp of choice, adapted the mute and you have an old look playing stereo.
234Tue Aug 17 2004 12:07Lawrence Leibhart turntable11@comcast.net
Hi Tony: Enjoy your website. I have the 1952 home unit you show with the same mahoghany cabinet. Fantastic sound! I also own a Seeburg M100A still using the original cartridge. The sound will knock you off your chair. Seeburg knew what they were doing. I'll be in touch in case I need some troubleshooting.

Hi there,

It's very nice to see that you're so into Seeburg, the information that you give,can't be found in any book i think,i hope that in the further future we may seen and read many more things about the seeburg's that are not so populair.
(i have two of them:a golden jet and a lpc480).
maybe they will be even populair as the 50's seeburgs.(i hope so).

In The Netherlands there isn't much information, how the juke's were transported from the USA, to europe,were they shipped into small parts and assembled there together,or were they build in the states and shipped as a complete jukebox.

were they assembled in europe for the country they were going to,and then i mean the operator instructions in the language that they spoke.

thanks.

I have a friend, Kim Goluska of Chicago, who tells me his father (since passed away) and brother worked at the Seeburg plant. I bought a Discotheque PFEAU model a few years ago. I see several of them being assembled in your factory photos. Anyway, Kim has given me some large posters (about 3' by 6') which are graphically similar to the design used in that jukebox model. He says his brother designed them when he worked at Seeburg during his college summers. I recently bought a Consolette and am looking to get it working with my jukebox. It is missing a small speaker grille. If you hear of one out there, please let me know. I sure enjoy your web site. I lived for 10 years fairly close (2100 block of Bissell) to the Dayton St. factory, after it was closed.

245Mon Nov 22 2004 13:09Michael Gruenberg michael.gruenberg@verizon.net
I have a Seeburg SMC1 jukebox in my home. It still plays great. Recently, the light on the bottom panel stopped lighting. I took the fluorescent and the starter to be tested and in the hardware store. They both worked which means that there must be somehting wrong with the wires. I have a few questions:
1.My first question is, do you sell the wiring assembly that connects to the light on the bottom portion of the box?
2.On your site you talk about a spotlight that reflects off the turntable. I don't have the piece that the light would shine off of. Do you have that part?
3. I live on Long Island and would like to know if you can recommend a reputable repair person that will come to the house to service the box?

Thank-you,
Mike Gruenberg

Hi. Enjoyed your web site.

I live in Chicago; have three Seeburg jukeboxes

two are actually working (kind of).


I was a electronic/computer tech for Western Union
for dozens of years and I have just started studying the Tormat Selection Mechanism in my non-working LPC-1; very interesting. Your articile was a BIG help. Those remind me of the old Sperry/Univac computers I serviced at WU; with the actual memory core donuts..LOL!

I really would like to use the tormat selctor to
select my Pioneer CD100 carosel mechanism; yes I know..but what the yeah...who can get records anymore?

Thanks.

Hi - love the site - you've obviously put a lot of effort into it. I work for a plastic injection molding company, and I like the factory photos and the manufacturing/assembly information. Do you have any info on the plastic parts production? Did Seeburg do that in-house also? Sorry, I don't own any of the machines you worked on, but I love my G, R, V200, 201, DS160.

How can I buy a copy of one of Rich's mech book?Many, mmany thanks.

Hello,

I'm the proud owner of a seeburg SMC1.
Unfortuneally I had to repair it several times. (SRAM on CPU unit).

The latest error is that when turned on it starts scanning and won't stop doing that.
Maybe the power supply is the caurse of all my problems??


If anyone has a suggestion what the error can be
please mail me.

Hi there. Nice to see a jukebox enthusiest. Have you ever heard of the Seeburg "Disco Theque"? I am researching a model that my father bought me and my brothers in 1977. The unit has beveled glass, which curves to almost 1/4 circle. Eight speakers at the top, with two bass in the doors.
The unit shows evidence of being commercial, with a coin drop slot and locked coin basin. There is a usage counter built in, which you can observe when the top is up. To operate the unit, you lift the glass after selecting your music flipping a service toggle from start to play. the background of the unit has a cityscape and reads "Seeburg Disco Theque". Have you ever seen this model? What is it worth, though it is not for sale? By the way, it works perfectly, though serviced a few times. Loaded with 45's from the 70's. Love it.

Hi Tony,

Nice to talk to you again,
last time it was Oct 25th 2004.

wel the factory photo's are very nice to see, do you have some more of them ?

i like your Seeburg Site very much,
sometimes i visit your site alway's looking for something new on it.

can you give me some more information about my Seeburg "Golden Jet".

for example,How many were build of them.
in the book " the ultimate jukebox guide ",
they wrote about 2,200 of them were build.

and is the "waterfransfer" i think it is ,on the front glass somewere obtainable.

the Stepper build for the "Golden Jet" is he ever produced.
i've never seen one before,i know it was an option.

and at last what was the Price that the " Golden Jet Cost at that time it was build.

i hope that you will write me back.

Thank You.

279Thu Jul 21 2005 11:07Ross Terry boofy41@hotmail.com
Awesome site. And great resources. I have been given a beautiful 1963 LPC1b for my home. Somehow, my uncle had swindled it out of a guy running a small tavern somewhere up in Washington. Had been running everyday since it was purchased new. When I have it, I will take it and have it lovingly attended to, cleaned up and the like. Still works beautifully. Incredible. Outside of phonograph needles, I truly doubt anythinge else was ever done to it. The woodwork will need a bit of work. Again, beautiful.

Tony, Great site. I own a Model 6001, my parent bought it in the sixties and I still have all the orignal papers that came with it. However it sets overed in my garage, it works just two big for my house. I look at getting rid of it but I could not find anyone who wanted it, probable not looking in the right place. Is there a market for this model. I would like to see someone who would appreciate it and use it have it. I love the sound it has and the cabinet beautiful I fell it is going to waste in my garage.
282Sat Aug 20 2005 21:52Bill Taylor bt_2627@yahoo.com
Tony, as a hobbyist I just started helping a friend with his Seeburg Y100. Been having a ball working on it. Of course, has the old 2 scan and no pick, so working on that now. Your website and your help has been fantastic, and appreciate for helping us hobbyist's. I know you sell jukebox books, so you don't want to answer everbody's problems, and I understand. But, can you just answer a question that bothers me from your tips on the website please?
I had tried the battery toriod trick and after that all records picked up. So my problem is Write-in. Ok, now on your website at the page "Symptom 3: Scan twice, plays nothing", you asked for us to check the Write-In voltage. Said I'd see the Write-In voltage on the terminal strip. I've got a tube type juke (Y100), so I looked at terminal D & E. I never see anything except ground. I do look at the OA2 in the power supply and see -300VDC. Could I see anything at that test D & E? If I read it right I thought I would from your page. But, that looks more like a pulse from the Credit Unit and trigger and if so it must be so small of time I'd never see it on a meter. Is that right? I tested my OHM meter good from the power supply, thru the trigger and Write-In receiver. From there though, I'm still having trouble to where I loose my pulse to the toriods.
So, what I'm really asking is whether terminal D & E are anything for me to use to test or not what I was supposed to look at for the -300 voltage. It will just tell me whether I understood that paragraph on your website.
Thanks Tony. -- Bill

A fantastic site.

Thank you for the trouble shooting guide. I am starting to become attached to my seeburg carnival now, even though I found this site to simply diagnose and fix it so as to sell it.

I'm still having a few problems, but at least I have direction and a better understanding of the whole selection process. Good stuff :o)

Great site. Haven't been in amusement repair for about 15 years but I still have my LS2 jukebox. Wish we had internet access back then. It would have helped me out a lot. Its great to that there are still guys out there who are willing to help out anybody with a problem. The tour was very interesting. I definitely appreciated seeing how my unit was produced. I'm waiting for some info on the mechanism. so I can get her going again. My LS2 suffered a voltage spike about a year ago and I am now just getting around to repairing it. It was plugged into a surge protector but she's still idle for now. With a little help and patience and some extra time, I'll have her playing again. Keep up the good work.

I am a bass play and occasionally I play with a R & R or C & W band.
I always wanted a Juke Box and two years ago I purchased a Seeburg SPS2 Matador.
I just subscribed to the always Jukin Magazine, hoping to get real smart on Juke Boxes.
I must say, I got the bug and I will start collecting them. I trying to order you Digital Black and gray set for $77.00, but as of this moment I don’t know where to send the money.

Hi tony,
I was just reading the technical stuff of the PVRC.very interesting.
Now i have a PVRC in an Orange Colour and with not Seeburg written on it but Seeben.
everything else is the same , i think that it is an German type.
do you know if Seeben is a Sub Company of Seeburg.
and how many differend Colours are made of them:
Grey,Orange,.....,.....??
maybe you can tell all of us something about Seeben.

Cheers.

I used to work for a local seeburg distributer in the 60'S doing service & instalation. Recently I acquired an LPC1 that is in pretty good shape. All the tubes are missing in the control center & the amplifier needs work. I wish I had the manuals I had now. I also have a set of DSS1 speakers that I have had for years.I am anxious to get this machine running & hear agreat sounding machine again.I also have two sets of the discotech records

Ihave the LS2 Gem of 1968. Ihave had it over twenty years. It is full of great 45s from the 60s and 70s and works perfectly. I am moving to a new house and I may not have a good spot for the box. I was wondering if you might have a good idea of the value and what would be the best way to market the box. Thanks.........

I inherited a Seeburg 100J model and brought it home over the holidays. Worked fine up until today, now it won't power up. I plug it in and turn it on and nada, not even the cabinet lights. Do these models have a central power unit that is repairable?
304Tue Jan 3 2006 12:30Tom Barrett tpbarr08@aol.com
The site is GREAT Tony. Thank you so much for all the photos and info. Our family has owned a 1955 Rock-Ola Model 1448 for almost 40 years. Entertaining the idea of a much needed restoration had led me to view your site and many others. Also, as a kid, my dad owned a nightclub in the 60s which featured an LPC480 as well as a pair of large Seeburg Altec floor speakers. My brothers and I use to perfom the janitorial services during off hours with the LPC480 constantly belting out those top 40 favorites. What the machine lacked in a visible mech, it more than made up for in its great sound. If I ever have the time and space, i would like to someday acquire an LPC480. But, I guess everyone has their favorite Juke.

So, like you, I have a strong bias and love of those great old 45RPM - 33 1/3 machines. Jukes are an integral part of my past.

Thsnks for keeping them part of my present!!

Hi,
I enjoyed your site, I have owned an AY160 artist of the week Seeburg since 1981. Over the 25 years I have owned it there have been some problems, you know what I mean, one month it works fine, next month it takes a fit. I have always been able to get it back in good playing order. It is a pleasure to listen to [nothing like a tube amp. in a Seeburg if you ask me].I read the write up on your silver age of jukebox and you say "NO auto speed" am I misunderstanding something or should this discription be corrected? My AY160 selects 33 1/3 or 45's.
Best Regards,

Tom

Hello Tony, these are great books...very helpful.
Do you or any of your readers know where I can get the cables to connect the DMT1 (Blue Box ...yes I found one!) to the MPU and then to the terminal strip? I am ready to connect a DEC to the box but this is all I lack (I hope)
Thanks for your help.

An LPC480 and a U100D Discotheque Jr.Both have great but individual personalities. so much so that kids have named them.I've been looking through your site with great intrest for some hours and has answered some of my questions, album scan control etc many thanks.
However,a small problem with the U100D that is baffling me. She will play records with no problems for 2 hours, but then suddenly go into symptom 3 on your help page. can you give me any other pointers? once again a great and informative site thanks.

Hello Tony,
Will Piezo Tweeters work with the SHP1 in my SMC2?
The tweeters in it now are not origional and they prevent the hood from closing (they hit the amp) I noticed in the SMC2 sales brochure they were a horn type tweeter which would allow clearance at the amp. I know the amp needs a load ... would the woofers at the bottom provide enough? I found some Piezo tweeters on ebay and it says they will give no ohm load. But I want to be sure it won't effect the amp by lessening the load. (Hope that made sense..LOL) I can also get the same dimensions regular compression speaker 50W/100W @ 8 ohm for about the same price. Which do you think would be better?
Thanks for any and all input.

Hey Tony,

I've read through your site a couple of times and check back every now and then for updates. Great work! You should write another book on the story of Seeburg and your work there.

My one and only experience with Seeburg was a SPS 160 (The "Olympian", I believe) a few years ago back in college. I bought a complete machine for $80 with high hopes of restoring it. It had been languishing in a warehouse since the early 80's. Even before touching it, it looked great! It had curved-glass, purple and black backlit panels with polished stainless steel (?) trim. I got it to "scan twice" and I could manually trip it, but that was it. There was no sound, the keyboard and credit systems were dead.

I got as far as disassembly, degreasing, and a bit of repainting. The amplifier and control center both needed to be totally rebuilt ($$). I'm not sure if the black and gray boxes were functional, but they were there. I bought the complete manual set and an auto speed control on Ebay. But with college etc. I never got around to actually finishing it. I had some concerns. The record dividers were corroded and little specs of oxidation would get on my 45's. I didn't see a way to remedy this (painting? sanding?). There was no way to disassemble the rack), I had to move with short notice after college, so I eventually gave up and got rid of most of the machine. In fact, all I have now is the cartridge. I do think it would have looked and sounded great!

My impression of Seeburg was that:

1. They were well-built and weighed a ton! Even after removing the control center, amplifier and mechanism, my machine still weighed as much as a cement mixer! I don't know how those route guys ever got those things up a flight of stairs!

2. Certain aspects of the machine seemed unnecessarily complicated; the mechanism for example. It seems they could have simplified it a bit to cut down on the number of parts (i.e. leaf switches) making it that much more reliable.

3. Some of the technology was way ahead of its time. The digital selection, the ported enclosure for the woofers... The sound quality in general (especially when compared to my Rockola of the same year), the high-power output amplifier. I was surprised that the tone arm was still perfectly balanced, even after sitting for twenty years in the hot & humid Houston weather.

Interestingly, my very first jukebox came down to a choice between a Seeburg USC2 or a Rock-Ola 445. I chose the Rock-Ola only because the gripper mechanism was showier (despite being hidden). If I had to make the choice again, it would have been the Seeburg. The sound on the Rock-Ola is horrible and it scratches up my records. I never use it anymore and will try to sell it soon.

Thanks again and keep up the good work!

Justin

Hello Tony,
Finally got my SHP3 amp fixed (had to repair it myself) with lots of help from your book. Thanks again.
What is a good lubricant for the mechanism? Ron Richs book says 20SAE or 3 in 1 elec. motor oil (non-parafin) but 20SAE (is he talking automotive?? if so it can't be found around here) also 3 in 1 (both types) on their website show both oils contain parafin.
Will a silicone oil or WD40 work just as well?
I would love to be able to lube this thing but I want to do it right ... the sump at the top is dry and as you know there are many other points on the mechanism that also need it. Or if you know where I can buy some "Seeburg oil" please let me know.
Thanks for the help.

Tony,
What would be the quickest and easiest way to cancel out 99 credits on the SMC-2? I ran up that many repairing the DBV and didn't want to play 99 records...BTW should it go any higher than 99?
If I remove the batteries from the MCU while the machine is off will it cancel the credits without effecting the MCU?
Still reading your book ... very informative.
Thanks

Tony: If you get this in the next 24 hours: I'm supposed to pick up a SB STD160 on Thurs. and I have no clue what I'm doing. I'm hearing that if I lay the machine on its side in my van, I risk all kinds of damage. What parts of the mechanism would I have to uninstall/reinstall to prevent damage to the mechanical components? Assuming I dont know what I'm doing, will this likely be irreversible?
324Thu Feb 23 2006 04:03Sharon rdmills33@aol.com

325Thu Feb 23 2006 10:34Kirk Gibson kwgjcg@cox.net
My apologies Tony,

I had the feeling I was asking too many questions.
This SHP3 is driving me crazy trying to find the problem ... worked before OK, but after recapping, just a hum.
Uh well I'll just keep at it until I find it.
I hope I wasn't being too much of a pest.

Thanks for your help.

P.S.
Do you ever take an amp for a rebuild? I sure would like to have this thing rebuilt by the man who wrote the book on it.

Thanks again

I also have 7 other older unique stereo systems in the home along with about 7,000 45s and 8,000 LPs. I will be visiting your site regularly. Thanks.
334Mon Apr 10 2006 01:22Michael Limacher m.djmjlcst@verizon.net
Hi Tony,

Thanks for putting up such a great website devoted to the Seeburgs! I've got two Seeburgs (AY-160) and a Stereo Showcase (SS-160) that I truly love. I've got work to do on the AY-160 as it just sits and spins. I went to the Chicagoland jukebox show last weekend and talked to the guys from A-1. I told them the problem and it is a definite lack of lubrication on the mechanism. I purchased the lubriplate grease and the oil and will be working on the juke soon after I pull out all the 45's.

The SS-160 on the other hand, has a problem with the auto-speed unit. It will play fine for a good hour or so, then slow down and come to a complete stop. I ordered a new capacitor rebuild kit from Friday Night Jukebox in Georgia. I will take careful measure on putting these new caps on the unit. It should work fine after that. I've replaced the graphics glass with new exact replicas from A-1 and it's looking like quite the showpiece now! I've got a question. Whenever I make several selections after putting in quarter after quarter the machine tends to stack up selections I didn't make (every 10th record on either the A side or B side, whichever the mechanism is playing at presently and wanted to ask you what the problem is. I'm sure it has something to do with the selection buttons. Also, you have to press the letter and number at the same time to get it to work. I know on my AY-160 you could press either a letter or number in either order and one button would lock down and you could press the other to start the mechanism scanning and selecting the proper record. Do you happen to know what this could be? I own the complete manuals for both of these machines.

Thank you in advance for a great website!

Love it! - Mike

We are donating a Seeburg 160 - Selec-O-Matic -
High Fidelity Juke Box which we have had for many years to The Maury County Boys and Girls Club (Columbia, Tennessee). It isn't in the best working condition, but we found Dan Colabuno on your Web Site and contacted him. He was most helpful. The Executive Vice-President, Mr. James Martin, said it would surely provide some 'atmosphere' to the gathering place. We hope that someone will be able to repair it and put it in good working condition.

You have an excellent picture of the machine in your Silver Age Jukeboxes.

Thank you.

I am not very good at this type of things, but it seems not to be getting any power. Are yours books written so a beginner like myself could use them to figure out the problem and repair it?

I own two Seeburg machines: an M100A which, when I bought it, had been poorly converted to play LPs, and a 220 which was a wreck. I used to own many more Seburgs- particularly those from the 1970s using the MicroLog electronics you are so familiar with. Like yourself I have an engineering background and found your "Blog" fascinating. Your site is by far the best I've found.

I have this Seeburg jukebox. SMC1 Disco of 1978. 160 selections as you describe it on your site. It still works and it has given me and my family many years of enjoyment. Unfortunately, the bottom piece that used to ight up doesn't anymore. Also, I am told that there is an attachment that can be polaced on the record player to give a "mirror effect." My questions are as follows:
1. We are moving from NY to Maryland in June. Is there any special way to pack the jukebox?
2. Can you recommend anyone in the Maryland/DC/Va. area that can service the box when we get there?
3. How do I get the bottom portion to light up again?
4.Is there a parts supply house to get the attachment described?
5. There seems to be a loose wire that sometimes causes the sound to get louder then softer. How would that be fixed?

Hi! I love your site. I have a 222 that had a small motor fire around 1980. I gave some of the parts to a man to repair and he had a heart attack and I never got them back from the wife. Now I am missing some tubes. Do you know of anyone in the Washington State area who could repair it or install a new motor? I would really like to play with it again. It has been lovingly stored in my garage for over 20 years. I still have all the 45's!

I think you set up a great web site. I enjoyed the details of your life working for Seeburg. I am 54 yrs old and just getting started collecting jukeboxs. I have a Rowe MM6 and I am going to pick up a STD160 next week. I'am sure I will be purchasing some of you books.

just wanted to give a testimony to how werll you guys built your seeburgs, long story short, i got a call a couple weeks ago about a jukebox in closed up tavern that had sustained some smoke and water damage from a fire in the building next door. the tavern owner said this box could be mine free, just for the "getting the damn thing out of my way" factor. he said he had bought it about 20 years ago, and basically all he knew was that is a Seeburg and was working fine the day of the fire a little over a year ago. this all made me a little nervous, but as i have the std-3, and a ss-160 showcase, i started thinking-PARTS!! It was about 80 miles from me so off i go early one morning to meet this guy. turns out it is a std-4 mardi gras and it looked a fright with all the soot and dirt and bar funk all over it. isaid ok and as all i have with me is my ford escape suv i thought how am i going to get this monster loaded? i did some quick measuring and proceeded to gut the box out onthe sidewalk (a sight that must have been) i put carriage in front seat with me ,the amp and reciever in the floor board and slide the shell on its back right into my suv,perfect fit,no room to spare,glad i didn't take any one with me. iget it home and everything looked ok except for filth so i cleaned and cleaned and sprayed and oiled untill i had it lokking good.i plugged it in and made a selection and out came that clear crisp sound and great bass that seeburg was known for. frankly i was shocked. it was on free play but i noticed the bill valid. was lit up, so yes it will also take coins and bills. i've from time to time read stories of "finds" like this but never thought it would happen to me. oh by the way your sequence light system works perfectly too, with the exception of a few bulbs burned out. hoope you enjoy this--HAPPY FINDS EVERYONE!!
