Capacitor Testers
by Tony Miklos 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

My capacitor tester died last week. It's one like this: https://www.ebay.com/p/1801512529 I really wasn't ready to spend that much, especially on something without a warranty. It's almost 45 years old. I do really like it because it's fast! I don't think it takes much more than a second or less to read capacitance and there is no range knob to turn. I do want one that tests leakage at the actual voltage. This one does go up to 600 volts, and that works for me. Is there any others out there that can compare at a lower price or is this it? I think I paid about the same 30 some years ago off my boss who bought a new one. Are any of the hand held ones worthwhile? I have one cheap multimeter that tests capacitance that seems accurate, but it takes way too long to autorange. And of course the leakage test doesn't go up to 600 volts.

Is there any way to get more bass out of an amp when using a cartridge that is lacking in bass? Tony

LPC 480 mech
by Tony Miklos 14 Jun '24

14 Jun '24

I think I've seen this problem once before but don't know what model seeburg it was. Anyway I have the LPC ready to be picked up and after several hundred test plays, the mech decides to jamb up. The motor will be on and trying to turn but no go. Turn off the motor and it sort of backs up a hair away from the side it was trying to go. For the life of me I just don't see what it is. There is a little play in there and if I toggle the reversing switch back and forth it will scan 4 or 5 spaces then jamb, flip the switch and it goes the other way. I'm pulling my hair out and I don't have much left! It isn't anything mechanical from the mech to the cabinet, when it's stuck all areas of the mech can still be wiggled around. Nothing at all like the cable getting stuck, that's for sure. I'm thinking something with the bell crank for the tone arm, but the tone arm does move left and right. Once again, I can't find my books from Ron Rich in case he has any tips for that in there. Tony

Seeburg 100W Pilasters
by Tony Miklos 06 Jun '24

06 Jun '24

I have a customer that has a W with 100C looking pilasters (light snowflake) and color cylinders. He is thinking of going original but wants to know how much he can (or I can) get for his old stuff. They will fit into a 100G but will they fit in anything else? Any ideas what they would be worth? How about to someone here? :) :) :) The color cylinders have good color and the motors are both working.

Further help with KH200

Hello, I have a Seeburg KD200H which has been working for 10 years. However, now after making a selection it now plays all records sequentially starting at the position where the mechanism rested ignoring the selection. I have conducted the following: 1. Measured the Play Control 'Sub' and 'Add' solenoids - both 12Ω, 26mH 2. Replaced 12AX7 3. Replaced 56k Ω resistor in TEU 4. Checked TEU1 voyage -300VDC 5. Checked the Tormat return path 190 Ω 6. Cleaned the following: a. Play Control contacts b. Detent switch c. Tormat readout RCA connector d. All relay contacts on the Mechanism All did not fix the problem. I will appreciate your help. Thanks Rod.

W61 Continued issue
by M De Simone 27 May '24

27 May '24

Still working on the model 61. With the help of Hans I was able to replace the fibre gear, it went together well and works fine. (Thank you Hans) The problem now is that it keeps picking up the same record and the selector never searches. The problem is that at the end of the cycle the clutch does not reset forward and engage the selector gear. However if I advance the mech a bit it will do what it’s supposed to do. I’ve done the timing at least 5 times but it hasn’t corrected the problem, I’ve even tried advancing the timing a bit and retarding it a bit and still no luck so I just set the gear back to where it’s supposed to be. Is there an adjustment to make the motor run a bit longer? I’ve read the manual cover to cover but no mention of this. In the troubleshooting section it says to do the timing, but as I stated, this did not solve the issue. Any ideas much appreciated. Mauro Sent from my iPhone

Seeburg KD200 Plays Continously
by Glenis&Rod 23 May '24

23 May '24

Hello, I have a Seeburg KD200 which has been working for 10 years. However, now after making a selection it now plays all records sequentially starting at the position of the mechanism ignoring the selection. I have a Service Manual which describes in detail settling and adjustments. In order to trace this fault a 'Control Sequence Diagram' would be very useful. I have seen Control Sequence Diagrams for later Seeburg JBs - semiconductor models which gives some information. I have inquired on other forums without reply. Any diagnostic information will be appreciated. Can anyone please tell me "what is the signal or relay/solenoid that is activated when a record has been returned to the rack"? Rod

Turntable fibre gear replacement
by M De Simone 22 May '24

22 May '24

I’ve noticed a few people replacing the main fibre gear on W61 countertop jukeboxes, I have mine apart and need to replace the turntable fibre gear. I have the assembly out of the mech and on the bench but can’t figure out how to get the shaft out of the cast metal assembly that holds the worm gear. Can it just be done as is or does this shaft have to be removed? Any insight much appreciated as I’d like to get this back together and out of my work space! Thanks, Mauro Mississauga, Ontario, Canada Sent from my iPhone
