2nd Edition, just back from the printers
Seeburg 100-Selection Jukeboxes of the 60s and
early 70s
116 pages, 82 illustrations. Price USD $29.95
plus USD $5.00 shipping*
Jukeboxes covered:
New for the second edition is a listing of keys,
fuses, and lamps used in each machine. Also
featured is a newly revised sound system chapter
including information on pickups and speaker
systems.
This book covers all of the 100-selection machines
built between 1964 and 1975. The first of these,
the U100, was the industry's first all
solid-state machine. This book covers that machine,
the Discotheque, Junior version of it, and all
the later electromechanical Selector and Pricing
Unit 100 selection machines, explaining how
everything works, including the amplifiers and
optional Steppers. Contains schematic diagrams
of the Pricing Units, Control Centers, Steppers,
and Amplifiers used in these machines, except
the SHP2 (introduced in the SB100 Magnastar),
covered in 'The Seeburg SHP
Amplifiers', see below. Chapters include:
Introduction, Schematic Symbols, The Pricing
Unit, The Selection System, The Stepper, Motor
and Mechanism Power, Sound System, Troubleshooting,
and Semiconductor Cross-Reference. The Troubleshooting
and Semiconductor Cross-References are worth
the price of the book alone!

3rd Edition, new and completely revised
The Seeburg Black and Gray Boxes
178 pages, 131 illustrations. Price: USD $29.95
plus USD $5.00 shipping*
Jukeboxes covered:
LS3 Apollo,
USC1 Musical
Bandshell,
USC2 Bandshell
Firestar,
SPS160 Olympian,
SPS2 Matador,
STD160 VogueII,
SQS160 First
Edition,
STD2 Entertainer,
SQD2 Quad Entertainer,
STD3 Sunstar,
SQD3 Quad Sunstar,
STD4 Mardi
Gras, FC1
Regency,
FC2 Hutch
The Black and Gray boxes were introduced with the
LS3 Apollo of 1969, and lasted through eight years
and eleven models of 160-selection machines, ending
with the STD4 Mardi Gras of 1977.
Seeburg never published any in-depth service information
on these boxes, since they were to be returned to
the factory for service. Well folks, the factory
no longer exists, so if you have one of these, this
is the book you need! Here is a complete description
of how they work, including simplified logic and
timing diagrams of each of the three custom chips
(two in the black box, and one in the gray box).
Even included is pricing board setup information,
for any machines still using coins.
Also: foldout copies of each of the five board schematics
(three in the Black box, two in the Gray), explanations
of the power supply, buffer board, scan start board
(all of these are located in the Digital Control
Center), the DEC (Digital Electronic Consolette),
mechanism trip circuit,
and a complete step-by-step troubleshooting procedure
to find where the problem in your machine lies.
New for the 3rd edition is a chapter on the Seeburg
Remote Translator (SRT1), an optional accessory
used to permit the SC, SCH Consolettes and 3W1-series
wallboxes to work with these machines.
There is a semiconductor cross-reference guide
for all semiconductors used on all boards, plus
component and circuit locators for the boards
used inside each box.

Ron Rich's Seeburg Mechanism Guide
62 pages, 32 illustrations. Price: USD $24.95 plus
USD $5.00 shipping*
Jukeboxes covered:
All Seeburg vertical play (all coin-op machines
on this site except the M100A)
From Ron Rich is his Seeburg Mechanism Guide. Packed
into 62 pages of you-can-only-find-it-here information
is a complete step-by-step description of the mechanical
and electrical operation of all 7 inch 45/33 RPM
mechanisms, starting with the M100B of 1950 all
the way up to the last vinyl mechanism, used in
the SMC3 of 1984. There is stuff in here you will
absolutely have to know if you are going to wash
your mech, remove the clutch, or remove the pickup
arm frame. Don't even think of moving your machine
until you've read the 'Transporting Your Jukebox'
chapter! Also, lubrication guidelines, including
places your mech needs lubrication that isn't in
the charts. Includes five pages of detailed troubleshooting
information, gathered from 40 (yes,
forty
, even though Ron doesn't look a day over 21!) years
of experience working with these machines. Includes
32 illustrations, lubrication charts, representative
schematics of each major mechanism modification,
even a complete list of all vertical-play mechanisms
built by Seeburg, along with pickup and stylus data! |

Seeburg's Red Box and MCU Systems
210 pages 131 illustrations. Price: USD $29.95 plus
USD $5.00 shipping*
Jukeboxes covered:
This books covers two different selection systems,
those used in the 100-77D and 10078D machines
(the Red Box) and the MCU system, used in the
SMC1, 2, 3, and 100-79M models.
Who better to write this book?
I designed the Red box system, and was also responsible for the redesign of
the CPU board for the MCU system.
How each design came to be (its design history)
is here.
The book starts out with a section discussing
the various schematic symbols used throughout
the text, then jumps right into the
Red box Credit and Selection systems,
including troubleshooting tips, and
a foldout complete schematic of the
red box at the back.
The rest of the book is devoted to the
MCU system. I redesigned the CPU
board to make it easier to manufacture, incorporate
bug fixes, and had to make several circuit
changes to get everything to fit.
The book gives complete explanations of
how both versions of the circuits work,
along with detailed descriptions of
the mechanism control circuitry, easily
the most complex and problematic of
any Seeburg implemented.
Plus mechanism switch adjustment and
system troubleshooting tips!
There's also a section on connecting
a Consolette to either system,
including descriptions of the two remote
translators used.
For troubleshooting, I've included
timing diagrams with cause/effect arrows
to speed up tracking down problems,
and a complete semiconductor cross-reference
list for both systems, worth the price
of the book alone!

The Seeburg SHP Amplifiers
56 pages, 37 illustrations. Price: USD $19.95
plus USD $5.00 shipping*
Amplifiers covered:
SHP1 (standard equipment for
SPS160,
SPS2,
FC1); SHP2
(SB100,
100-77D,
100-78D,
100-79M);
and SHP3 (STD160,
SQS160,
STD2,
SQD2,
STD3,
SQD3,
STD4,
FC2,
SMC1,
SMC2,
SMC3)
The SHP (Seeburg High Power) amplifier was introduced
with the SPS160 Olympian of 1972, and was standard
equipment in all machines up to and including
the last vinyl jukebox, the SMC3 of 1984. The
100-selection machines (Topaz, Celestia, SMC1
Jr.) used a lower-powered version, the SHP2
which is also covered.
This manual tells you everything you need to
know about: the Preamplifier, tone, balance,
and volume controls, the driver board, the S.O.S.
(Save Our Sound overload circuit), mute/trip
relay, the output transformers and power supply.
The output transistor bias circuit gave plenty
of problems with this amplifier, causing some
early units to catch fire and prompting the
change to the later bias circuit. The solution
to this problem, along with a more accurate
method of setting the bias, is discussed at
length. Also covered is how the AVC (Automatic
Volume Control) works, and a detailed explanation
of how the drivers and outputs work.
Also included is a semiconductor cross-reference
(worth the price of the book alone), component
views of both PC boards, and schematics
for all three amplifiers.
