Jason, your 222 Seeburg is on sale...

I have not heard of one of these going for any less than $3500.00 in this condition. 1959 Seeburg 222. It would not take much to make this a very nice unrestored juke. Victory Glass has the side glass parts, and the amp could prolly stand to be recapped, ect for about $350.00. This is one that could be used as is, or put a $1000.00 in it and have really nice unrestored juke.

Jason, I know this is the one you wanted, hope this time is right for you to snap this up.

Seeburg 222

Isn't this the model with the circuit board that dries out and burns?

Hi Ken, Good to see you posting. Been a while.

I do not know if these have a problem with the boards burning. It was the first year for stereo. (Seeburg must have been very proud of that, just check out the tacky "channel 1/channel 2" grill)

I had a model just one year newer,(Q160) and never had any board troubles, but of course I had the amp rebuilt when I first bought that juke.

Burning Circuit Boards!

Hello Ken & Rick!

To my knowledge, it was the Seeburg KD/KS200 and L100 that had problems. "The combination of the early printed circuit board (PCB) material, eyelets to make connection between the top and bottom sides of the PCB, solder flux, and the high temperatures from the tubes caused many intermittent problems with the electronics in this machine. Many of these problems were caused by service personnel flexing the PCB when installing new tubes, which led to broken PC traces. Once repaired and with caution observed when servicing, these machines continue to entertain their owners." (courtesy of Tony Miller's Seeburg website)

Hope this helps!
