Sounds like a power supply problem.

The diodes in the bridge rectifier are the most likely culprit. Of course, it could be something more serious, like an output transistor.

Selectomatic

Kevin,I wish you could tell me how to fix my selectomatic 160-I think we talked about it once but lost contact...

Chances are that it needs lubrication and capacitors -- they

What model is it? There's a silver-and-blue plate on the back (of the Seeburg, not the Klipsch).

Seeburg

Kevin,is is a 161 D.Here is a quick rundown.My sister bought a house,the Seeburg was left behind.She did not want it,so I took it.It was in near perfect condition cosmetically,but worked half-way.I sent it to Mike at Ohio jukebox,he completely renovated it.Worked like a charm for years,my thug wannabe step son and thug wannabe buddies messed with it whileI was out of town-ain't worked since.A local jukebox guy(young guy)cleaned everything and had it playing,but would only play one song over and over,or play one record,then the next,etc.When it was working right,it would only hold so many songs in memory,then you had to wait till it played some before adding any more.It is set for free play,with a button on the side that gives 3 plays whan pushed.When the memory was full and you attempted to push the button again,it would only buzz.Again,after some songs had played,it could be pushed again for more credits.Now,it acts like it is full-pushing the button only results in a buzz,green light indicating you have selections available does not light up.Hope this all helps,and thanks!

More Seeburg help

Hi Tom,

Here's a URL for the Seeburg website by Tony Miller. He used to work for Seeburg back in the 60's. I've e-mailed him a lot over the past couple of years and he's helped me get my Seeburgs back in operation. Scroll down on the front page for a lot of info on the Seeburgs, including repair tips. It's a pretty big website and I wasn't sure if you knew about this so here ya go! - Mike

I have a Seeburg Club on Yahoo!

The first two things that we usually recommend to people who join is that they buy a good copy of the Service Manual, and that they read Tony Miller's Troubleshooting tips.

Thanks

Thanks guys,I just don't have enough aptitude to go inside the box.What I would really like to do is trade for one of the first stereo models(the ones that say"channel 1"and "channel 2"-that is my favorite anyway!

Seeburg Club

Hi Kevin,

I just joined your Seeburg club! Nice page displaying the AY-160, AY-100, and the two LPC1's! Nice to see them all lit up and ready to play!

Cool! - Mike

Tom,

Jukeboxes always require quite a bit of maintenance. The machines you're talking about are 50 years old, and there's a lot to go wrong. When these were made, the route men were expected to lubricate the mechanism every six months. Both the 161 and the 220/222 (first stereo machines) are beautiful, but you're going to have to learn to maintain and repair them (or find someone who makes housecalls to do it for you) if you want them to keep working.

Mike,

Thanks -- if you look closely, the AY100 cabinet is empty. Someday I plan on getting a mechanism for it. It's one item on a VERY long to-do list.

Seeburg maintenance

Kevin,I am sure you are right.The young feller I mentioned in an earlier post is capable of the maintenance,and he damn near had it working-he eliminated(or thinks he did)everything but the selection unit(whatever it is called)but just did not have the knowledge to get that last step.He is meticulous,and cleaned-lubed everything...
Thanks again for the input
Tom
