Ok a few updates I’m certain the hum is coming from the turntable drive motor I have a new coupling and motor mounts coming. The “studer” of the mech at times has been corrected by following the realignment procedure for the clutch. Now I’ve moved on to find another issue:
You can select and it will play A1 thru A8 however any selected record outside of those always stops on E1 thru E8 including the B side. For example you select L4 it will play E4 if you select B4 it will play E4 and so on. FYI the selection receiver has been recapped not by me about 8 years ago.
Any input is appreciated Don

Also wanted to note that while the record is playing I lift the arm off the record and the hum is still there.

Ok removed the input plug no hum. Reinserted the input plug hum. Removed 6BJ6 tube no hum. Replaced with two other 6BJ6 tubes that tested good on my tube tester still hum.

No, I said remove the input PLUGS, not output Tubes! But as Jay has said, it's a mono machine so there is just one input plug.

Thanks for the reply Tony so to be sure I understand remove the 6L6s
one at
a time. As for the clutch I should have noted I had already removed
cleaned
and lubed when I got the jukebox.

First, pull the amp input plugs one at a time to see if that stops the hum on either or both channels. If it still hums with both out, it's
in
the amp. If it stops, it's in the wiring to the amp. As for the mech problem, disassemble and degrease the clutch parts,
lube
them and reinstall. Heat from a hair dryer or a heat gun will make disassembly of the important parts that stick the most. Be sure to remove all records near the heat source.

Hi all I could use some guidance… I’m working on my Seeburg 161 I purchased. It has a HFMA2 amp that was rebuilt by the previous
owner . I
have two issues first is…as a record begins to play there is no hum
however
as the AVC kicks in the hum begins and increases and is quite loud
then
gets drowned out by the music until the end of the song where it is
very
loud until the mute switch kicks in. Any thought?
Second issue is the mech sometimes “jitters” or starts and stops
rapidly
after record play it will eventually begin to scan properly.
Any guidance is appreciated… Don _______________________________________________ Jukebox-list mailing list -- jukebox-list@lists.netlojix.com To unsubscribe send an email to
