It's a Seeburg!

Here it is in action. The 1972 SPS160 playing some groovy choons.

By the way, the "bass rattle" isn't the speakers, it's the front glass panel rattling. Maybe some weather stripping might fix that.

I'm glad it got there in good working order.

A lot of jukeboxes seem to develop rattles -- there's a lot of bits and pieces to get loose.

Now you need to get some Digital Electronic Consolettes to install all over your new home!

The second song is the flip side of Western Union by the Five Americans. I stuck the record in wrong.

How do you put the machine on Free Play? Right now, I have to open the lid and push the Credit switch a few times to give it credit. Alternatively I could put coins in it. But it would be nice to flip it on and make some music come out without alot of effort.

I personally think that plopping in coins is half the fun.

But setting these "Black and Grey Box" machines to play for free is easy. Open up the cabinet, and locate the "Black Box." I don't remember where it is on the Olympian, but it's probably up top somewhere. It's a plastic box, and it's more-or-less black.

There's a small circuit board with a metal handle on it plugged into the front of the Black Box, and possibly a retaining strap with a screw or two. The circuit board was originally labelled with a (usually orange) sticker that said "Seeburg Pricing Programmer," or some such thing.

Unplug this pricing card, turn your machine on, and you should have a "Select Any Single" light.
