Non Polar Electrolytic used?
by M De Simone 26 Feb '24

26 Feb '24

Beginning of the week and lately I was just thinking how nice it’s been not to have any of my friends show up with emergency work that needed to be done well, today a good friend showed up with a couple of amplifiers. How could I say no? Anyway, Just doing a quick visual inspection of an SHFA4 code A (probably the cleanest amp I’ve seen! Looks brand new) and noticed capacitor C123 was replaced with an NP in place of a polarized electrolytic. I’m not even sure what this little closed circuit does but thought it important enough to ask the question- what would happen in this situation? The complaint is one channel is very loud and the other is low volume. I haven’t heard it yet but I believe the loud channel hummed or screeched. Thought I’d ask if this NP capacitor would be an issue. Thanks, Mauro Ps. Yes, I’m long winded. Sent from my iPhone

Searchable archives Deadski???
by NotarySojac 25 Feb '24

25 Feb '24

A lady friend of mine asked me to figure out what's wrong with her 1979 SMC-1 Seeburg Disco juke. Won't play. Has some alien language lettering displayed on the selection panel window. Might be due to not prepping the machine for it's 900+ mile trip from upstate Illinois to Austin Tx. I have been gathering manuals and scanning the Google and YoooTooob for ideas. What I REALLY wanted to do is research using the Searchable archives: http://jukebox.markmail.org/ as shown at the bottom of the juke list digest. Is it deadski? Has it been moved? Man, that has been an invaluable resource! Thanks, Bob- Georgetown Tx.

SHFA4 Amplifier Problem
by M De Simone 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

I’m still wrestling with this one, All capacitors have been replaced and resistors have been checked for tolerance, tubes new, 6U8 with conversion sockets in place of 7199, and all is as it should be. The sound from channel 1 is good and strong but might be a slight bit distorted (hard to tell on my bench setup) but likely ok. Channel 2 is considerably lower volume and definite distortion. All voltages check good, I also put a signal tracer right after the transistors and the sound was clear and balanced. I’m looking at the schematics and wondering if CR104 or CR103 (double selenium diodes) could be causing this? Not sure if they would affect the sound? Thought I’d get some opinions here on where to look next. Thanks, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

Chrome random thoughts
by Nigel Pugh 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Hi All, I think I've been on this site since the beginning and amongst everything discussed, chrome is definitely not at the top of the list. I'm looking at my Rowe Tropicana, the jukebox I have owned the longest. Since 1984. I had it re chromed then, the original chrome was totally shot. I have lost count of the number of Tropicanas I have repaired over the years and the chrome is always terrible on them and much later Rowe's. So from 1964 to 1984 (20 years and terrible chrome). Had mine re chromed in 1984 (40 years so double the original chrome) and it's still 100 percent perfect. So my question is (taking environmental conditions and vandalism and wear and tear out of the equation), did Rowe Ami have rubbish chromers ? Or indeed any jukebox manufacturer? Just a thought.

Wurlitzer Post Cobra Tone Arm Mech Motor Wanted
by Tony Miklos 14 Feb '24

14 Feb '24

Looking for a mech motor and mounting bracket for a Wurlitzer 1800, I don't know offhand what other models are the same. Also looking for a tone arm that will fit into an 1800 but came with a ceramic. I'll use even a newer one that no longer looks similar to the cobra, just so it fits. And it needs an amp also! Something newer is fine. I happened to have a 548 amp and plugged in the mech plug and the machine, well the selector latch solenoid turns on, don't know what older stuff might work And/Or if someone can tell me what models I have to choose from that will help my search. This box came to me missing this stuff. I didn't even notice the motor was missing also. Duh. The owner couldn't care less what the tone arm looks like, although I'll paint it red. As for originality of the amp, she doesn't care at all. I'm actually thinking of using an early stereo amp and making it stereo, but any amp that is close to plug and play will be fine. Thanks, Tony

OT: Mechanical Arcade games
by D. Resor 11 Feb '24

11 Feb '24

Does anyone remember a semi-mechanical question and answer game? It's been an extremely long time but I also seem to remember it had nixie tubes to display the player's score. I also seem to remember it did not have a CRT either. This particular place I seem to remember had a Seeburg 222. This was in either the late 1960s or early 1970s. Don Resor

AMI F and G crossovers
by joeymcd 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

Looking at freshening up a few AMI F and G crossovers I have. AMI F manual page 17 of the sound section shows the schematic and parts. Both capacitors are the same rated the same. The original capacitor is labeled Dry Electrolytic Motor Starting Capacitor 18-22 MFD 115 VAC 60 Cycles and is quite large. Why would AMI use this? Can something like this be used? [ https://www.solen.ca/en/products/dmpc-20 | https://www.solen.ca/en/products/dmpc-20 ] Second is the resistors used to attenuate. One is 18 ohm 4 watt and the other is 33 ohm 4 watt spec given on the parts list. Is resistor type and wattage a factor here? Can this be used? These are exact ohm rating but 10 watt. https://www.solen.ca/en/products/solen-cement-type-wirewound-resistors-wwsq… [ https://www.solen.ca/en/products/solen-cement-type-wirewound-resistors-wwsq… | https://www.solen.ca/en/products/solen-cement-type-wirewound-resistors-wwsq… ] Thanks.

Administrivia: Microsoft mail bounce issue
by Jay Hennigan 12 Jan '24

12 Jan '24

Three days ago, Microsoft randomly started rejecting mail from this list, apparently as well as several others, as some sort of anti-spam measure. This caused a lot of bounces and messages about members getting unsubscribed. It affected hotmail.com, outlook.com, live.com and perhaps a few other recipient domains. I've proactively resubscribed everyone that seems to have been affected. If you find list mail being routed to your junk folder, please follow the link to choose "Trust this sender" which may help this kind of thing from happening again. I have no clue what caused it, and apparently neither does Microsoft. -- Jay Hennigan - jay(a)west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV

Seeburg PFEA1
by Jukebox Repairman 12 Jan '24

12 Jan '24

Seeing as I had no takers on my recent NSM post I thought I’d try my luck with this one😀 When making a selection the scan control Add solenoid in the SCC stays energized after the mech starts scanning. Looking at the Schematic I see a .01 disc cap in circuit along with the service switch. I tried a different service switch with same result. If that cap has failed could this be the cause of my issue? Regards Rick

Amp is only outputting one side. I have narrowed the problem. down to the Centrale. If I swap the ribbon cables between S210 & S211 on the Centrale the amp outputs on the other side. I have the manual and the schematic is difficult to follow. There is also a learning curve as this is my first interaction with NSM and I’m looking for some guidance. Regards Rick

Curious if anyone ever needs one of these. I don't recall seeing one before. Not sure if they are scarce or trash. It was in an MM6, I suppose it will work with any 1100 mech? Tony

Beta testers needed for MyVinyl
by Carl Haines 03 Jan '24

03 Jan '24

Happy New Year jukebox friends! I'm looking for current users of My Vinyl to beta test a new version of My Vinyl for both iOS devices and for the Mac. Yes, finally a version for the Mac. For iOS you need to be at least on iOS 12 and be an existing user of the app. For the Mac you need to be on macOS 10.15 or better. At least I think that is the minimum version macOS required. Please email me directly to carl(a)carlhaines.com if you are interested and let me know if you can test for iOS, Mac, or both. It may be a week or two before I have something ready for testing. What's going on with the app? I am changing out the underlying database so that I can store more information and add new features to the app. For reasons I won't detail here I was sort of locked into the original database schema which limited me from adding new features that would required additional fields in the database. As a part of adding support for a new database I had to write new code to handle the data synchronization with iCloud. Previously I was relying on technology provided by Apple which limited my visibility in what was going on with iCloud and was also one of the reasons there were issues with adding new fields to the database. I'll provide more details to the beta testers later, but the things that need to be tested is the migration of data from the old database to the new database, synchronization across devices via iCloud, and the Mac version of the app. For those that are unfamiliar and want to know what it is, information about the app can be found here https://apps.apple.com/us/app/my-vinyl-for-jukebox-owners/id500003023 Thanks Carl Haines

T-12 Fluorescent bulbs are getting expensive
by Steve Wahl 02 Jan '24

02 Jan '24

So, I have one bulb out on my Wurlitzer 2410S, a F25T12/CW/30. I now notice that T12 bulbs have been phased out, and are getting expensive to obtain. Since these bulbs are hidden from direct view, I was wondering if anyone here has an LED upgrade strategy that they've found satisfactory? For me, it woult have to have enough diffusion that the light is even along the length of the tube's replacement, no discernable hotspots or polka-dots. Thanks. --> Steve -- Steve Wahl steve(a)pro-ns.net

Hello all, A strange question. I have an in-law that just purchased a restored Seeburg 1952 m100c. However the lights behind the the selection tags has already burned out and he can't get a response from the man he purchased it from. He says he can't figure how to get n ito to replace the fluorescent bulb. I only work with AMI so I don't know. Can someone tell me how to open the machine up to replace the bulb. Thanks. Jamie

Seeburg G Hum
by Tony Miklos 18 Dec '23

18 Dec '23

Working on a 100G. Both of the mute switches are working well. The problem is that when the record starts to play, if it take a little while to get into the song, I hear a hum in the speaker, when the song starts, the hum gets mostly hidden by the music. The same thing happens at the end of the song before it cancels and closes the mute switch. Oh, in the beginning of the record the hums comes on slowly do to the squelch circuit. Pulling the RCA plug out of the amp yields no hum, the hum is coming from either the mech or the mech wire. I've tried shorting the two different (one at a time) mute switches and the hum goes away. Also shorted the tone are wires and again, it has no hum. Also checked continuity throughout the mute circuits and all seems fine. Thanks, Tony
