| Nice job Tony. 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! Simon Wallner Berlin, Germany |

| 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. | |||

| 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. |

| 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. Todd |

| 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 |

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.

| 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. Alan Hood. Partner Games Unlimited & Datex Systems. |

| 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. | |||

| 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 :-) |

| 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. | |||

| 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. | |||

| 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 |

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.

| 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. Tom Hoffmann thoffmann@weadock.net |

| 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. | |||

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.

| 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 |

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. | |||

| 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, 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. Kirk Gibson |

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 Kirk |

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? | |||

| 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 Kirk Gibson |

| Tony, I also worked for Seeburg in the late 50's and early 60'in the engineering dept.There are two people I remember. Al Bodoh and Walter Goluska. At that time I think the company was taken over by a man named Delbert Coleman.I was a student at Navy Pier at the time. If you can respond, please do so. kevin Hennessy |

| Well folks, I finally got the SHP3 amp going in my SMC2 with the help of Tony's book and me pestering him with an endless amount of questions. I ended up replacing all the transistors on the driver board. Tony was a BIG help! Thanks again Tony ... you are tops! Kirk |

| Fantastic website! An absolute wealth of information. You have a real passion for Seeburg jukeboxes. I have a 1972 Purple Olympian and an HSC1 home jukebox, currently suffering from Symptom 1 - playing the same record over and over 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. | |||

| 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 picked up a S100 in Nov 05. It was in working order, we have been listening to all the 45's we haven't heard in years. Any way the machine stopped working today. 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.

| 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! | |||

| 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!!

It has alway's worked wounderfully,except I know have a stuck relay,do you know anyone in Mich. area that could help fix it? Also the one I have the authentic papers were lost but was said to have been Mr. Seeburgs and in his home till his death,when his wife then donated it to a rehabilitation center in a county hospital,when it shut down my father purchaced it.The back plates have model sl-1 serial 1267 volts 117 watts 125 cycles60 amps16 of course says select-o-matic 200 library unit and on bottom line j p seeburg corp.chicago usa. on the base part say's select-o-matic 200 library base has model b-1 then serial 1003 the jp seeburg corp. Is there anyway to verify it was infact the one in his home? Also this one unlike the one in the leather manual has a special timer system on it which is not shown in manual.If you could help me with the relay problem and the verification I would be so grateful!I've looked for someone for years. Love your site it was the only one I've ever found with this much info and to see the picture I almost fell out of my chair. Also after I fix it and get info on it am considering selling it.

I cleaned the tormat contacts, that's if they are the contacts under the magazine in front of the box. I used contact cleaner and a t-shirt. They are spotless. However, the selections still don't play. About 4 of them are intermittent. Any other places to look? I believe they all play after resetting the tormat with a battery, I'll double check that tonight. Thanks | |||

| CAN YOU GIVE ME AN APPROXIMATE VALUE OF THESE SUCH ITEMS...... BMS1/BMS2. Seeburg also built a couple of 'Background Music Systems, using custom 9-inch records with 2 inch center holes turning at 16 2/3 RPM. These units were replaced, for the most part, by 'Muzak', but played the same sort of elevator music (instrumental covers of contemporary songs, but recorded by groups you never heard of). At left is the model number BMS2, sometimes called the 'microwave', due to its resemblance to one. In an earlier version of this page, I had misidentified it as the BMS1000. Thanks to Kevin Green (to whom I defer for all things Home Stereo or Background Music) for straightening me out. Confusing, isn't it, since it says 'Seeburg 1000' on the front. | |||

| Your home page is helpful and friendly. Thanks. I just got a SM-100, that I got working with a few prods and pushes. It seems in pretty good shape, and I've fixed a few machines before, but if I need help, I'm glad you're around. Cheers, Ted |

| Very informative service / faultfinding info. Great help to me as I bought a faulty SL100 I think it must have been used as a donor machine then sold on via ebay. Guess who bought it!! despite looking in the manual and your info I am not able to figure out what the write in source voltage should be. I would be pleased if you could advise on this. Mine is only 0.25v dc. drops to zoero on compleeting a selection. I do have a problem with the SPU. Regards John beer |

| Dear sir, I really enjoyed your wonderful and interesting website. I do happen to have a 100-79M DaVinci of 1979 and it it is still working perfectly. Since we have moved, I have longer space for this machine and I am interested in the value of this peculiar jukebox. Do you happen to know what is a reasonable price?

| My parents bought our jukebox route in 1950-stayed in the family for 35 years. I bought the business in 1968 after returing from Viet Nam. I owned many models of Seeburg, AMI & Rockola boxes thru the years. It's great to see this site-brought back a lot of memories. Wish that I had not thrown all those old jukes, pin balls and arcade games away. I just aquired a seeburg home unit with telephone dial. Going to try to get it running. HELP!! Great site. | |||

| I have one of the Seeburg home stereo systems in
a console. It was wonderful for parties and Christmas - just push
all play and you had music for the whole day or night! Unfortunately,
mine stopped working years ago and I have never found anyone able
to repair it. My family wants to throw it out, I have been hesitant
to do so. Is it worth trying to salvage? Thanks! Carol Farnsworth |

| Helluva website you got there. I'm always impressed
when someone with your knowledge and experience is willing to share
it with others having the same interests (and for free, too). Read
your entire blog. Good reading! My 1st box was an AMI Continental II. Still have it. Then a Wurlitzer and a Rockola. I'm on my 1st Seeburg (a USC2). After a complete teardown, cleaning, and re-assembly of the entire mech I'm not afraid of Seeburgs anymore (the mech used to intimidate me). The base section (wood) was a mouse hotel while in storage and didn't look or smell too good so I had to build another from scratch. It'll all be going back together soon. Hope it works. If not, I'll get an education trying to figure out why. You'll probably be hearing from me again. Meanwhile, thanks again for the info I've gained from your website and knowing that I can get some advice if needed. PS.. Think you should sell your place and move next door to me. |

| You really need to check out your recommended service guys in the "Need Help?" section of your website, Tony. We live in the Chicago area and chose your recommendation (George Cernetig of The Jukebox Works). He came out June 3, 2006 and took the amplifer and another part from our Seeburg Sunstar ST3 jukebox for repair. We never heard from him again! He has not acknowledged our emails or phone calls and he never listed an address on his service order. He also does not use business cards. Basically, he stole our parts! It's been almost a year and we're STILL having no luck getting him to respond to us. Just today, I noticed his website was off the Internet. I do not believe this guy is a legitimate repair business and you really should be careful about who you refer. Take it from me--this guy is a dud! | |||

I don't usually surf the web, but recently aquired a Seeburg 200lu3. The motor rotates that turns the records, but it would not (select or retreve) the record. Can you help me locate an owners manual, or is there a shop manual for this system ? The outward appearance is good and it possibly would work with some cleaning of the internal machanical equiptment, Thank you for your time, and I hope to here from you in the near future. El | |||

Had it re-built locally but now selection process does not shut off after 3 selections and the smelly smoke begins. Any help would be nice. It's fix this for my wife or put new bushings on the '64 T-Bird or secure our place for the coming hurricane season here in South Florida. Too many choices! Thanks! | |||

| Hi Tony, What a Great Site, thanks Cobber for keepin' The Dream and The Spirit Alive. I just happen to have some 16 & 2/3 RPM Seeburg Vinyl Disks with the big hole spindle. But they have around about 12 Tracks per side. Were there any single stylus vinyl 9" big hole disks that were played at 16 & 2/3RPM and had "less than 20 tracks on each side" cut by Seeburg prior to 1959 ? I have a sneaky feeling there were. I guess I want confirmation of the less than 20 tracks per side 16 & 2/3rd RPM bit Tony and you would know ! Unless I have some Seeburg Music Disks that were very custom made ? I have part of two sets featuring one says Penthouse and the other Lifestyles. Drop me a line anytime. cheers and God Bless kind regards to you and yours pop ted jr. Alice Springs. "The Red Heart Of Australia" Northern Territory. Australia. ps. i did drop our mutual good friend seeburged an email and a genuine label scan of one of my Seeburg Penthouse Disks. |

| Hi Tony, Interesting reading about you. I've had an SE100 Golden Jet for many years now, still works, but needs some maintenance. Needs a new light bulb for one thing and I've lost the one I pulled to replace so not sure what I need. It also only plays one side of a recod and I don't know how to fix that either. Found your website as I have a neighbor wanting to buy it, but I really didn't know what the value of it would be. I have tons of records. I also have a RockOla, but will have to check closer for exact model. My stepdad had restaurants and an asmusement and cigarette machine side business. I learned a little bit as a kid, on coin jamming and loading records, etc. Guess it's time to part with them. I did enjoy your history and looking at all the different models. Thank you Kind regards, Sharon |

| I tried using my VMC1 for the first time in 10 years
today and it worked for about a half hour. It locked in the service
mode and I unplugged it to try and reset it. I removed the batteries
years ago so the circuit boards would not be ruined. With power
off I also shorted the + and - terminals on the board hoping to
clear the garbage on the screen. Now I get no picture at all although
there is power to the tube. I have all the schematics, but don't
know how to use them. Do you know of anyone who can test and service
a controller board? Thanks for any guidance you may be able to provide. Rowland Rose |

| We had a jukebox in Jr High, a Seeburg LPC1 which I now own. I have loved Seeburg machines ever since and own around 100 of them. I visited the factory on Addison once and I worked repairing Seeburgs for a company called AVA (that was L&R) in St Louis years ago. When they went under I got 2 of there 3 test benches. The DSST1 is in one of them, works fine with all connectors and books. I may be leaving the area soon and if I do, would sell all the test fixtures at that time. I need to get a red box repaired if you could suggest someone. Thanks and thanks for the site. | |||

| THanks for the website. I have what I guess is a
library unit. It was sold by Gates Radio back in the 50's. I used
to work at WBEU in Beaufort, South Carolina. This unit was at the
station when I came to work there, but was not being used. I talked
the chief engineer into letting me have it. I have had the unit
since 1971. The case of the box is grey metal, and has a drop down
door with plexiglass. To the left is a door that covers the pre-amp
and power supply for the mechanism. There is a power switch in the
door, also a scan and reject button. The scan and reject are also
present on a small remote control box that is about 3X3X4 - it too
bears the name gates. The unit still works. I am in the process of cleaning the unit up. I would like to have the case "hot blasted" and powdered coated. Would this affect the value? The other library units I have seen have some knobs inside the same door where the records are stored. Mine does not have this. It does have the four position levers to control play. Any ideas on exactly which model this would be called, and are there any manuals to aid in the process of cleaning the unit up and lubricating it? Any specs on the pre-amp?

| Hi! I own a diner in West Los Angeles called Cafe 50's. Now after 18 years at this location, I have started the procedure to franchise. First in CA then in other parts of the U.S. Because I am an avid Seeburg fan I would like to require potential franchises to purchase and maintain Seeburg 201's or maybe 222's. We also have 12 wallboxes in our dining room and at our counter. (I know Johnny Rockets uses the 100's but they have no "visible" jukebox.) They use a "modern" hide-away.) Do you think it's unrealistic to have my franchises maintaining Seeburgs in a comercial usage situation. And will it be impossible to locate mass quantities of 200 wall-o-matics??? I'm sure the 160 wallboxes are even harder to find! Our 201 has been playing the SAME records that I installed 18 years ago!! (I've only replaced about 5 records sofar). I guess it's because of the "light" needle tracing as opposed to an AMI or Wurlizer with horizotal record play. Could you PLEASE call me at home 818-906-9696 or at Cafe 50's 310-479-1955 (mobile: 818-469-6917)and help answer some of my questions?!

| Tony, you were recommended by Seeberg Ed and I really hope that you can help me. I have a Seeberg Encore in my garage in excellent shape. I saw the one sitting on the other piece in the pics and it looks like that one except it has legs on each side. My dad had a background music company in the 60s and 70s and died in 1979. Mother sold the company and the only thing I have is this one piece. Seeberg Ed advised me that the Encore is on the lower end, money wise, but I would appreciate it if you could give me a ballpark figure of it's value. I have no idea and a son-in-law that would like me to give it to him. Thanks in advance for you info, Tommy | |||

| Hello again Tony, I finally got the SCD1 working 100% (Repairing the Sony player about killed me)then the other day I was in my gameroom playing the SMC Phoenix.. you know the one with the SHP3 amp that I had all the trouble with but finally with your help got it playing right. Well it went back to only playing on one channel -- AGGHHH-- so I put in a spare SHP3 I bought off Ebay which seemed to work well when I bought it and was going to start back into the first one for repairs. The one from Ebay played for about 5 minutes then smoke started rolling out from behind one of the output transistors BIGTIME. I quickly unplugged it. I know these are good (well designed) amps because when I had the first one right it sounded great. But it seems I've heard some other reports of this type amp catching fire and now I am wondering if I should even start repairs on these 2 amps or try and adapt another amp to this box. The last thing I need is a fire! Is this possible and if so which amp would you recommend? Any help from anybody is appreciated. Thanks Kirk |

I see that you have pictures of the A100 but not of the AQ100. I believe that my box is all original so I believe that the graphics on the glass are correct. Your comments would be welcome and I can send you pictures if you can supply me an email where these could be attached? | |||

| I ran across your website while searching for information on a jukebox I have that I am not familiar with. I have been in the jukebox business as an operator for over 40 years and do not remember this one. Your site says it is a SMC1 jr. Mine is in very good shape, never broken into and plays and sounds very good. I had a little trouble with the selection system however Warren Rowe in L.A. repaired it for me. The ID plate has been removed from the rear so I was not able to tell much about it till I saw it on your site. How very rare is this model only having about 100 being built? Right now it is in my real Estate office and I play it daily. I have completely shopped it out with the exceaption of resurfacing the stainless trim which had a little corrosion down low. Other than that, it looks like a brand new one. | |||

| Judst P.S. to my other entry. I also have a 100R in my living room that I brought with me when I retired from the coin op business. This has not been restored, however it is also shopped out and plays and sounds great as all the caps have been changed in the amp. Also have a wall box that works and has just been rechromed. Lots of fun when guests come for dinner. | |||

| Hi, I liked your web site. I am having problems with my jukebox and was wondering if you could help me out. It's a Seeburg STD160 Vogue of 1974 the 160 selections Digital Jukebox. We just recently moved and the jukebox worked fine before and after moving but now while playing the jukebox one night it stopped in the middle of a song, quit putting out sound, and the record is still rotating around, i tryed to reset with the switch on the back of the jukebox but the contact did not click. The switch does nothing and doesn't click and the record is still rotating with no sound. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks so much and nice website. | |||

I found your site and found one listed on your "home units" page, but no phone number or email to contact anyone interested in purchasing this Seeburg. I enjoyed reading your history and trust your opinion regarding where I can turn to help this dear elderly friend. Can you please direct me on how I can market this for her. I don't know much about Ebay. She also has 90 prestine records, and she claims they were glove handled only, no warp, no hand prints at all. Many would be considered "collectibles" in my opinion.

out a record from the magazine but will not play it. Which symptom
scenario should I follow if my V200 will occasionally select a record

| Hi! My father immigrated to America and Chicago in the twenties. He had a realtion - second cousin or something - Sjöberg = Seeburg - who payed his passage and dad worked for him, selling player-pianos in the fantastic twenties in Chicago. He sold them in Speak-Easys (being tone-deaf it was a bit tough) and got to know, among others, Al Capone. My father was always very proud of his years with Seeburg, and proud of the fact that the jukebox evolved from the stuff he sold in those old days! Regards Ann Sweden |

| Tony, What a Ride, I enjoyed it all. I have had a Seeburg since the early 90's. I have my first problem today. That's why I seeked out your site. It's simple but hard for me. I can't select anything from my buttons. I can run the carriage manually and stop it. Usually I hear the selection lock in with each push button. I am getting nothing. I found a picture of mine. It was listed as a SDT160, but that was a 160 play machine. I have a 200 play, 100 each side. What do you call it? Do you have an email for comunication? I'll be studying, and working. Thanks for taking the time to post your site. John Churn Palm Coast,Fl |

| I found your site most interesting. You may recall
that I was the general counsel for Stern, and represented Stern
in the purchase of the assets of Seeburg. In the process, I "liberated"
a pair of DDS-1 speakers from the lab on Dayton Street, which are
now sitting unused in my basement. Do you have any idea what these
things might be worth and who might want to buy them? Until reading
your web site, I was under the impression that the woofers were
from Altec-Lansing as well as the horn. I was disappointed to read
that they came from Utah and that the crossover had been designed
by Seeburg and not by Altec Lansing. I recognized many of the stories you told about the Stern days. I particularly recall the story of the development of the VMC-1, including its debut (although, as I recall, it debuted at a distributor show at the O'Hare Hyatt, and was shown later at the jukebox exhibit at the Museum of Science and Industry). You may not be aware of it, but the factory which Stern used to build the jukeboxes (1735 W. Diversey) was converted into loft apartments, and the pinball factory (1725) was torn down and there is now a complex of townhouses on the site. The neighborhood has completely gentrified. If you have any thoughts with regard to the speakers, please let me know. |

and AMS systems from seeburg. I am commencing a research into Seeburg custom music and its various formats. including music and physical porperties Ive contacted Warren Rowe and Seeburg Ed and they point me in your direction. It seems i have discs that have no player... they are 12" small spindle hole 16 rpm from Decca records custom for Seeburg background music library. My disc journey starts with 78s mfg for Seeburg from the Standard Transcription Library for the Select o matic. (KRKD fm put one on the air in late 9140s for Musicast Background music service) If its not to imposing i would like to communicate with you for any background you might have regarding the custom music produced by Seeburg by Decca Columbia and finally RCA.

jukebox owners, thanks, My uncle has a seaberg bandshel type of jukebox and I wanted to order your books on this type of box but I can't find the link to do so. The box set unused for 8 to 10 years, it was working fine when last used, but now it has symptons as is described in sympton #3 in your trouble shooting section. One of the problems that I discovered was that the grease on the slider tract had hardened and was like thick tar. I cleaned the two tracts and at least the unit will travel quite easily now. Please advise as to how to order your books. Thank you very much. P.S. The coin Portion has been disconnected , I don't know if this is something that was listed in your wanted section or not but I thought that I would mention it. Thanks again. Jerry D. Moon. |

| What a great site! I was in high school when you were my hero working for Seeburg. I came to agree with you on Seeburg's authority in the industry, as I studied them very closely for my final exam reports for 8th grade, and again my senior year. Both landed me an A. Considering this was rare in my school carrier, it even got me an award. This all started from my first mechanical love when I was 12 with our new family Christmas present. The AY160. Acquired from a friend of a friend, who was off to jail in a few days, who pulled up in a once was U-Haul the day after thanksgiving. I remember being so impressed with the wonderful package Seeburg sent to me, after my written request. It was filled with the history of JP Seeburg to the present. Of course it had all the latest greatest models like the Disco 160! My love may of faded for the old AY, with cars and girls, but it quickly returned with marriage and a family. I miss the trips to Wold Wide Distributors in Chicago with my dad. It was an all day event going there just to pick up some new needles. I'll never forget the big sign when you first walk in. Although I can't remember the exact words, but it was a jab on the record abuse of "other jukebox manufactures" who used a farris wheel to bring the records to the player. Anyway I'm sorry for the ramblings. I just feel I am truly the youngest generation to appreciate this awesome industry. I just hope I'm wrong as I try to get my own children into it. Thanks again for a great, and very informative web site. My new favorite! | |||

| Congratulations on your very thorough and well researched
website. It's nice to meet you on-line. I'm familiar with and have been a "fan" of the 60's-70's era Seeburg jukeboxes. Technically, they always were ahead of the curve, compared to the others. These machines, in my opinion, are under-appreciated by the collector community. I've bought several of your books over the years. I operate a small (part time) repair/restoration business in the Atl. Ga area. and enjoy working with Seeburg-mfd. units. I'm an electronics tech and do most of my own work. Here, you don't see many 60-70-80's model Seeburg vinyl jukes in residential use. Rowe/AMI machines are common here. For a short time in the 60's, I worked for a vendor/operator (as a field-service tech) during the early 60's in the Detroit MI area, when it was financially viable to operate a big jukebox route. This was my intro to coin-op equipment. The vendor was heavily committed to using Wurlitzer gear (mostly 2300 thru 2700 models) on their route, but they had a few Seeburg pieces in use. I got a chance to visit the Seeburg plant in Chicago, Ill.,where they sponsored a service school for independent techs. to become familiar with their equipment. The LPC-1 jukebox had just been introduced as their premier product. In general, there were fewer service calls for the Seeburg jukes (they had LPC, DS and AY models at the time)than the others. There was a difference of opinion between technicians at the time as to which type of record selection system (search engine?) was preferable. Seeburg, with their all-electronic (Tormat)system or Wurlitzer, with their 100% mechanically-operated system. The "old school" technicians at the time liked the mechanical system as you could "see how it worked" as opposed to electronic trouble shooting. Selection problems usually happened more frequently with the mechanical systems. Keep up the good work! Jim Alexander |

| Great site. One of my first big purchases as a kid was my Seeburg M100C. Now my Mom wants to send it to me across the country. My daughter is delighted, as am I. I was thrilled to find your site along with instruction on how to prepare my beauty for her cross-country trip. Now if only I can find a shipper and someone local to do the necessary repairs. Again, thanks for your wonderful site. It has fanned the flames of my long smoldering love for my ole' jukebox. | |||

| Hi, I enjoy this web site a lot thank you. I have all 3 smc models but I noticed on the smc3 that the switches that reverse the mech when it gets to either end of the record mag. are different than the smc 1&2,which have 4 thin copper plates on either side to change direction The smc3 has only 2 plates on either side. Is this right, did seeburg change this on this model or am I missing some plates. At this time the mcu and phono control are being repaired by Dan Colabuno, also did the MCU change any in the prelude or is it the same as in the SMC 1&2. thank you in advance for any help you can give me. Joe. | |||

| Hi Tony, I'm another Chicago area Seeburg owner who hasn't heard from George Ceretig since he took parts from our juke box - TWICE! - in June'08 and then again in August. Any idea if he has eventually come through for other customers? I would appreciate any information you may have about this man's "repair" business. Wish I had read your guestbook comments before calling George. |

working on some of these fine Seeburg macines. I started to work
at Cleveland Coin, in 1974, and left in 1984.To this day, it was
my favrorite job. I used to repair the control centers and the black
and grey boxes. I still think Seeburg had the best sound and the
best mech. I also replaced the bad red tone arms on the SS160's
and the LS1's. Thank's again for he memmeroies. |

| Tony,Very nice site! Is it posable that you knew my father? His name was Manuel Herman "manny" and was in the jukebox biz from the mid1940's till his retirement in the early 80's. much of his career was with Worldwide Dist. on the northwest side of Chicago and finished his career with Apex Amusment in Niles Il.Dad also did service work for most of the operators in Chicagoland. It would be nice to hear from people who knew him. As a boy I spent many nights out with him on service calls. I now restore machines and wish I had more of Dads knowlage | |||

| Tony, I found you site interesting. It is the first mention of Seeburg I have come across. Although I never searched for any. I stumbled across your pages while Googleing my name. My father Ed Sr. worked at Seeburg until it was purchased and the research staff laid off. I was a frequent visitor to Seeburg with my father. I may have met you. I don't remember all that much as I was only five to seven years old when you where first there before your military service. My father went on to work at Borg Warner Research Center in Des Plains, Illinois until it was closed. He then went into teaching first at ITT Technical Institute then at Great Lakes. He taught until his death at age 72 about ten years ago. Every time I see a Seeburg jukebox I remember the company tours with my father and playing with a box of jukebox keys he had brought home. I got a nice nostalgic rush going through your pages. I also learned a few I never knew about Seeburg. Thanks for that. Sincerly, Ed Meixner Jr. |

| Thanks for the interesting and informative site. I have a 1963 vintage LPC-1 that I acquired about 25 years ago in trade for a IBM Selectric MagCard typewriter. I use it about once a month, and except for an intermittent problem in which it decides to play every record in a number row, I get a lot of pleasure from the machine. I'm hoping to pass it on to one of my children soon, but they seem to prefer their IPods | |||

| Hi Tony. I worked for Seeburg as a field rep with
Bob Moulder from 73 to 78. I left just before the close up. I am
now working for Agfa repairing laser imagesetters. I have been with
them for 31 years. I have photos of the Seeburg building with the
neon sign on top. Also some photos of our reunions. I know many
of the people are gone now and miss them much. I keep in touch with
Ron Rich and Warren Rowe and go the the shows at Pheasant Run. I
still fix the old machines but don't get too much work any more.
I guess the younger generation don't know about vinyl or even 78's.
I did purchase your book on the black and grey boxes. I also have
many diags on this stuff. Also many manuals in a file cabinet in
my garage. Write back to me and include your address and phone number.
I would like to hear from you and find out who is still around. Thank You Ed Urgitis 630-530-7479 551 N. Howard Ave. Elmhurst, Ill 60126 |

Had been in storage in Birmingham UK for 16 months until today but have just tried it and it plays fantastically well. Have a collection of over 300 45s, mostly 1960s, and can't wait to get the old gems back playing again. Anyone remember Joe South's 'Games people play'? What a great record. | |||

She said I better have some place to put it, because it was not coming into the house.) So I decided to try to find out what I had blindly purchased, in an online auction. I ggogled Seeburg and your site came up, giving me all the information I could have hoped for.

| Hello Tony, Fantastic site for casual observers,(me), thru fanatics. I was given a Seeburg AP 1 appx. 20 years ago by the original owner, a friend of mine. Until today I didn't know the year of introduction, etc. Over the years I have played it occasionally and it certainly needs a tune-up now. I'll pull it off the shelf and send you some pics if you would like. Thanks for a great, knowledgeable venue for those who share this interest in Seeburg. Darrel |
