Seeburg R Selection Receiver question
by Jukebox Repairman 21 Apr '23

21 Apr '23

A customer brought me his 3W1 and selection receiver stating that making selections via the wallbox were intermittent at best. On the receiver the original cap had been removed from circuit and replaced with two 10uf 450vdc lytic caps wired in parallel. I have not had a lot of interaction with wallbox installation but my question is regarding the replacement cap(s) Shouldn’t that be a 5.0 uf 370vac type? Thanks Rick

Not sure how to post this ad on your list... so can you post it from this email? https://imgur.com/a/EkHr8q3 Lovely vintage 1961 Seeburg Selectomatic Model #E-DS160-22 for sale. These jukes are very collectible. The machine plays great, sounds great but has trouble playing more than one selection in sequence. I am reluctantly selling it for $2500 because I bought it to be the focal point for an after hours club... then along came Covid! It is stocked with 80 45s, mostly classic jukebox tunes. Plus I have 42 45s 36 in original paper jackets: The Stones, Beatles, Yoko Ono, CCR, Crosby/Stills/Nash/Young, Bee Gees, Moody Blues, Elvis, Del Shannon, The Kinks, The Dead, Smokey Robinson, Roy Orbison, The Lovin' Spoonful, The Zombies, Elton John and others. 3 without a jacket: incl 1 Gordon Lightfoot, 1 Epic demo 45 (one side only): Cheap Trick 1 1967 "Canada" Centennial 45 by the Young Canadian Singers (bi-lingual!). All of this for $2500! I'm located about 15 minutes north of Belleville, Ontario... about 2 hours East of Toronto, 1 hour West of Kingston: 613 849 1976 or email <lattalad(a)gmail.com> Cheers and thanks Gary Gary Magwood Plainfield, Ontario 613 849 1976 "The secret to living well and longer is: eat half, walk double, laugh triple, and love without measure." ~Tibetan Proverb

Mills dance master amp
by Hans Minderman 16 Apr '23

16 Apr '23

Hi All, I’m finishing up a Mills Dance Master, I have it all mechanically working and I’m now ready to work on the amp (an MCP 1644 amp). I have a schematic for it from the manual but it is not very useful because the caps and resistors are only marked with the mills ‘mcp’ catalog number and not with the actual values. The corresponding parts list has the same issue with just listing the Mills catalog numbers and not actual values. I checked with Bill Bickers at Jukebox friday night but he does not have a schematic with values or a rebuilt kit either. If anyone has a schematic or a listing of the caps and the resistors and choke for this amp please let me know. Thank you for your help.

Re: Jukebox-list Digest, Vol 156, Issue 1
by Dave 14 Apr '23

Jamie, I'll start by channeling our mentors and advise you to get a copy of the Service Manual. In the meantime, I quote from the description of basic operation for what is supposed to happen: "After the record has been played, the pickup arm moves into the cut-off grooves. At this point an arm on the pickup arm pivot bearing (60) actuates the reversing switch (51). The reversing control relay (70) in the mechanism junction box (46) will then become energized, reversing the transfer motor." I would start by first checking to see if the mechanism will return the record if you push the record cancel pushbutton. If so, your problem is probably the reversing switch itself. if not, I would look at the reversing control relay to see if its contacts are closing to send power to the transfer motor. - Dave Schwallie On Friday, April 14, 2023 at 03:01:34 AM EDT, <jukebox-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com> wrote: Send Jukebox-list mailing list submissions to jukebox-list(a)lists.netlojix.com To subscribe or unsubscribe via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to jukebox-list-request(a)lists.netlojix.com You can reach the person managing the list at jukebox-list-owner(a)lists.netlojix.com When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific than "Re: Contents of Jukebox-list digest..."

AMI E120 cut-off
by rollin gvtc 10 Apr '23

10 Apr '23

My faithful E120 will not cut off at the end of a record, and the cancel switch will not return the record to the rack either. I've got DC --- so after manually turning the armature to return the record to the rack and sort of "reset" to start, I could make a selection, and a record would play, but again, no cut-off trip and cancel button does not cancel. Any ideas out there? Thanks in advance. Lou Boerne, TX -- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG antivirus software. www.avg.com

Re: Shure cartridge and stylus
by Nigel Pugh 22 Mar '23

22 Mar '23

The M44MR is a perfect fit. You can tailor your C or 7 to fit by slicing away carefully the top plastic around the 2 screw mounts and then it will sit up in the arm recess the same as the MR does. It adjusts much easier then in terms of not hitting the gripper arm, and raising the correct height when the song has ended.

And that's another trouble I was having, the body of the M44-7 I have now it's just a little bit too narrow to fit correctly.

Shure cartridge and stylus
by Federico Croci 20 Mar '23

20 Mar '23

Hello everyone! I found a Shure M44-7 cartridge installed on my AMI Continental 2. I'd like to fit it with a N44-C stylus, as some of the 45 records I use are obviously not in very good conditions; I'd like to find out if I can reduce the skips and jumps I have when playing them. My question is - if I install a replacement N44-C stylus on a M44-7 cartridge, I'll have the correct tracking force for the N44-C stylus, or I should install it on a M44-7 cartridge for better results? I'm interested in the tracking force alone, small differences in audio quality does not really matter. The tracking force should be a matter of the stylus installed, not the cartridge, am I correct...? Thanks...! -- Federico Croci wiz(a)tilt.it www.tilt.it

Tri Flow as a record lube

AMI Continental 2 Amp R2777B output tube type

Hi Everyone, I have an AMI R2777B Basic Amp plus the R2728A power amp. Screened on top of the chassis is 6973 for the output tubes. However, they are not 6973 tube sockets. They are a larger 8 pin socket which looks to be factory installed. Did these amps ever come out with say 6L6 tubes? The wiring on the sockets suggest it may be these as pin 1 and 6 are not connected, but I couldn't find any info to support this.

I have a ton of ERIC reissue 45's from the 80s. They were always well mastered and sound great. More often than not better than "Collectibles" which was their main competitor. My only suggestion is that they really need to publish a list with prices of the NOS titles if they are half way serious about selling them. Even if it's not 100 percent complete or accurate any list is better than no list to help potential customers get started. It's not rocket science.

Ami continental takes record back to the carousel without playing
by Henrik Niinimäki 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hi, What could be wrong when ami continental II picks up the record on the record plate, but picks it up back 50% of the times, it goes right back to the carousel, and doesn't play it at all. I have adjusted the motor position and miicroswitches correctly. Also replaced the record end microswitch but still doing this? Is it broken micro (number?), or is the new record end switch bad or what else it might be? Transfer relay maybe? Br Henrik

Rockola SS amplifier FET Identification
by M De Simone 03 Mar '23

03 Mar '23

A fellow jukebox repairman asked me if I knew of a substitute for this FET transistor. I do not, since I work predominantly on tube amplifiers. So I thought I’d ask the group here and see if I could help him out. It is Q18 on the “mute and squelch board” and Rockola part # 52342 and the part description is: N - Channel Junction FET. I hope that’s enough information as I don’t yet have a model number. If anyone might have a cross reference number that could be used here that would be great. Thanks, Mauro Sent from my iPhone
