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

Someone has a set of 4 of these speakers for sale. I'm just passing this on and know nothing about them including the price. I believe they are in the Knoxville, TN area. Let me know and I'll pass on the contact number.

Searchable archives Deadski???
by NotarySojac 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
