Quoted from Theonlylilo:

This is my Seeburg Vogue II... great juke with great sound! I restored it last year but now it has a problem with mechanics...
It doesn't accept any selections. I mean, as soon as it's powered on, it starts to play ANY record, one by one in sequence, without stops.
I checked and tested the grey and black boxes, also the "brain" in another friend's juke (Seeburg Sunstar), and they are 100% functioning! So... do you have any suggestions where I can check to solve my problem?

Quoted from Coyote:

(SNIP) but they expect you to have a manual and know how to read it:

Quoted from Rick88:

Thank you for the add. I come here seeking the advice from the Lords. I recently inherited (actually saved) a 1960 q160 Seaburg jukebox from the scrapyard. The box/cabinet essentially has absolutely nothing in it. No speakers no amplifier, no nothing, it's got the coin mechanism and the selector unit for the buttons up front. But the cabinet it's in really decent shape with really no other parts to speak of, So let's get to the question at hand. Down the road is a 1962 LPC-1 for sale. I would like to take the two machines and creative functioning hybrid machines. I want to remove the record mechanism from the LPC-1 and place it in the Q160 so I can play 45s through modern tube equipment. I know, I know, what some might be thinking. But it's simply just too expensive to repair this machine for a budget collector like myself. Then the second unit, the '63 LPC-1 I would like to leave all the original equipment in the lower unit, the receiver, amp and original speakers connecting a Bluetooth device in place of the record mechanism. Can this be done, has it been done, Am I my crazy? any advice is appreciated and needed.

Quoted from vwrookie66:

Just picked up this Seeburg SCD-1 a few weeks a go.
Still have to figure out why the little lights behind the graphics wont turn on.
But the Sony cd-60 works ok which I hear is usually a 50/50 kind of deal.

Quoted from chrisnack:

Hey all,
I picked up a Wurlitzer 2910 (1965) a couple weeks ago. It quit working last week and i'm totally stumped. Selection buttons lock in and won't release, changer assembly doesn't rotate. Trying to dig through the service manual without any luck. I've spent hours upon hours trying to figure out what the heck is wrong, but can't figure it out. Machine is on free play.
The coin mech doesn't work/register coins, i know that's an issue. The top tunes selector doesnt' work either, but if i manually trigger the relay on the control box it will fire the coil and trigger all the pins.
Would appreciate any help!

Quoted from chrisnack:

Thanks, got frustrated, took a day off, then went back at it. Was able to trace it down to the transfer switch wasn't connecting properly. Had to clean and bend the contacts and then everything fired back up. Just the TT button left to work out, but at least i'm back up and running and listening to records again!
Spent a few hours last night working on some pinball stuff while listening to some 80s, love it!
Figured the jukebox would be similar to working a pinball, but it's a bit different and the wiring is a bit more complicated, everything splits every which way.

Quoted from tatman9999:

I just picked this one up. Rowe 100 cd. Not sure if there is suppose to be lights on the sides. It is working. Got it with about 60 cds in it. Going to add some. I built it in the wall.

Quoted from pinballjah:

Glad I came across this thread. Have been thinking of buying a jukebox for the game room. Have a lot of 45s from my teen years collecting dust. If I have a budget of $1,000US, what jukebox would you suggest? Would like one that plays 45s, not CDs. Are the parts still available for the older models? Thanks for your help.

Quoted from Pickle:

Well a quick google search got a good answer. Since it was ALL the B selections it was a broken wire. Soldered the wire back on and B sides are playing. Cleaned out the cabinet, polished the chrome, cleaned the glass and it’s ready to come in the house. Now my VL200 has a friend. Will post a pick later if the pair when I get it moved in.

Quoted from arzoo:

Hey All,
Pinball has always been my thing but my brother is interested in owning an older jukebox (45s). He has zero technical/mechanical skills so I'm thinking he'll have to purchase a 100% reconditioned unit from a local dealer who can also provide service. He lives in northern NJ. Any suggestions or help would be appreciated. Thanks!

Quoted from donjagra:

I was shocked when the CD player worked. I already rebuilt the carousel and the wiring harnesss and next is the amp transistors. I actually felt like $200 in parts is getting off easy.

Quoted from BBC:

got it fixed. Just for the future if anyone is having this problem. It was the coneector going into the credit unit (box) it needed to be reset a couple times. working fine now.

Quoted from MrMikeman:

Picked up a Rock-ola 446 and a seeburg STD2 Entertainer locally for..... NOTHING! I love free stuff.
Obviously they both didn’t work. Was told the Seeburg worked but stopped after sitting for a year in the garage. Was told the Rock-ola never worked.
Well there’s no way the Seeburg was working lol. Got it running mechanically but no sound. A lot of hacks and cut wires in there. Winter project. It’s the one i want to keep. I need to rebuild the 5-bit controller also and replace a lot of the infinity lighting bulbs.
The Rock-ola mech had been disassembled and then put together incorrectly. Fixed all that. Rebuilt the mech motor. Found all the loose bolts from the previous disassembly. Did a re-cap of the amp. I still have a buzzing sound when things are silent but otherwise all working. When i put a finger on or near the tone arm the buzzing goes away. Seems like a build up of static. However when i put a jumper from the tone arm to a ground lug it buzzes much more.
I dont really like the style of the 446(console) and will put it up on kijiji or craiglist before winter.

Quoted from indypinhead:

Here's a picture of the jukebox I picked up yesterday.[quoted image]

Quoted from indypinhead:

Yes, it's a OMT
It's the 100 disk CD version.

Quoted from Oldgoat:

My Wurlitzer 2150. When I got it, it was the standard covered in solidified grease, rodent crap and tons and tons of acorn shells. Must have been a big party destination for the local mouse population. Had to do a ton of work to get it to work. Converted it to use a ceramic/magnetic cartridge given the issues with the old Cobra's also added a crossover and tweeter. Had to redo the cabinets...used a couple of fancy veneers. Tried to keep it in the same 'spirit' as the original. Since this was the 'unblinged' version of the 2100, I also put in led strips (on color change for the bottom straight gold for the general illumination). Lot of work on the amp, actually have two now, one which I fully rebuilt including new pcb all new components from caps to resistors to tube sockets. Pretty happy with the aesthetics and sound.[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from CyberNinja24:

My 1976 Seaburg STD 3 is a huge hit in the game room. We love spinning 45s.[quoted image]

Quoted from ToucanF16:

Need two?

Quoted from Methos:

Does anyone know how to connect external speakers to a ROWE R-92?

Quoted from ryanbrooks:

This isn’t my SMC2-it’s in for repair. I just figured some of y’all would dig the label on the title glass...[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from ryanbrooks:

Alkaline damage in the control center.

Quoted from ryanbrooks:

It’s repaired and already back to the customer

Quoted from Billc479:

I need a bit of help with a Wurlitzer 3100 jukebox. The tonearm cutoff/trip switch is not consistent. It works, but not at the same spot on a record. I can adjust the lever and it will work once or twice, then it won't work. It always seems like its just a tad off.
I can buy a new switch form Victory for $33 bucks plus shipping, but before I do that, I want to make sure there's not something that I'm overlooking. Thanks

Quoted from NJNeil:

Hi all - I'm thinking about purchasing my first Jukebox for my gameroom. What do folks think about the Wurlitzer One More Time series? The one I am looking at is the 100CD version. Welcome any opinions - thanks!

Quoted from sagejr:

Just picked up an NSM Satellite 200-O. Anyone know where I can get schematics or manuals? Anyone know a place or person who can repair the ES power unit? S1201 and S1202 fuses blow immediately on power on.

Quoted from MrBally:

"No sir, Mayor Daley no longer comes to the Seeburg factory; he's dead sir".

Quoted from too-many-pins:

What is a Seeburg SMC1 jukebox worth? Cosmetically it looks pretty nice, working condition unknown, missing needle, otherwise no additional information at this point. I really have no business thinking about this but I have always liked that style box and one came up for sale semi locally.

Quoted from goingincirclez:

Wow, I forgot this topic existed, but it's kinda timely. A quick questions for the experts here since I'm a juke noob:
1) I have a client who owns a beautiful 1961 AMI Lyric (XJGA-100) with some issues. Are there Service manuals available for this? I couldn't find any other than "user manual". Also, she lost the key... I know the lock can be drilled & replaced but she'd like to keep it original if possible. Are there any key sources around locally (as opposed to the one I found in Germany that wants $60+ +shipping per key)?
2) I have a RockOla 440 - not the prettiest thing but weird enough for my taste. The guy at JukeBoxFridayNight put together a cap kit for me and I've redone that, but still don't have proper stereo. Anybody have any ideas what to check next? I understand these amps are not exactly revered. Also, the motors for the animation feature are all but impossible to find... anybody ever come up with something there? I could probably install modern LED chase lights for the same effect but would like to keep the original design.

Quoted from djh00000:

Anyone know how to hookup external speakers to Wurlitzer 1015 OMT?

Quoted from allsportdvd:

I added a Jukebox to my game room, just a Little Rock-Ola 451 from 1973 but it plays 7” records just the way I like it. 50 records so I’m always on the lookout for double A side vinyl

Quoted from MrBally:

The Detroit area's top Seeburg repair technician passed away last week. I worked with him for a few years and he taught me quite a bit on Seeburg troubleshooting. Below is a link to his obituary. Also, here's a picture I took of him with a Mardi Gras (STD4?) in 1980.

Quoted from ToucanF16:

I’ll put this out there. I’ll say a complete nonworking USC1 about $300 tops.

Quoted from Pinball-Ike:

I've been hesitant to share my membership in the jukebox club because I haven't seen more than one or two digital music examples.
But here goes, this was a 20th anniversary gift to my wife and I this year from my dad. We love it, and with over 1000 albums ripped lossless so far, we are only half capacity. It's bright and colorful in person and sounds great too!
[quoted image]

Quoted from Nihonmasa:

Hi guys,
I have a rock ola 477 max which was working fine till now.
It's now doing a loud "hum" sound as soon as it is switched on.
Wether the relay is on or off does not affect it.
Any idea of what I should check?

Quoted from KongDonkey:

My new baby, going to be fun getting it cleaned up and running.

Scored this jem last month. Had a full resto in the early 1970’s. Hasn’t been plugged in for 3 decades. She is now up and running.

Quoted from 29REO:

MrBally You are probably right and Rock-Ola made some great machines.
My thinking is usually looks first (which is subjective) - and has screwed me on a few car purchases. But with age comes wisdom.
Also, I operated Seeburgs for years and so I am admittedly biased toward them.

Quoted from smailskid:

Thanks for the reply. Here are a couple photos that I have.
Supposedly it was working before a move but after the move it is not.
What would be your estimate of worth based on this info and the photos?[quoted image][quoted image]

Quoted from smailskid:

Very cool!
Any insight into this Juke? How it sounds etc?
Any opinion on value as it sits?
I am not very experienced with Jukes so any help is appreciated. Thanks

Quoted from ZooDude:

I'd guess you can only play two tone music through that juke yeah? I'd be rocking some Symarip if that was mine, skinhead girl! Moonstomp!

Quoted from PoMC:

Brought my next jukebox project into the workshop last night. This sucker is huge! Definitely will have a 2nd screen where the coin/bill section is. Will also try working on a screen down at the bottom replacing the artwork and have it work as a photo display of artists/bands and album covers.
