Thanks for the capacitor tips. My supply store didn't have anything near a 10uf 400v mylar so I got two metalized polyester film type. Each rated 6uf @ 200v. I put these in parallel for 12uf 400v effective value. I was able to cut my regulator output (drive) down from 24v down to 22v and set my spee...

I had rebuilt my Seeburg AY160 about a year and a half ago. I had put -a lot- of work into this jukebox and it's a source of real pride. The last thing I had to do was to service the TSAU1 SS Speed control unit. I had replaced the resistors which were out of tolerance and replaced all the electrolyt...

Yup. I plan a complete tear down and cleanup of the phono. I got the beat up console last fall and planned to salvage the amp and trash the rest. But the Cobramatic looks so cosmetically nice that I -have- to save it. I guess it only played gospel music in church on Sunday. I'll probably build a new...

I have already serviced a 1961 Zenith 4d20 single ended stereo amp and plan to also service the Cobramatic phono. I'll be cleaning out all the fossilized grease etc and wonder if anyone can suggest a type of new lubrication. The small single ended amp is rated around 5wpc and also wonder if a magnet...

Me? I generally don't mind simple mods as long as they are non-destructive and reversible. But that's only if the mod is **actually** reversed by the person who did them. I believe an item, no matter whether its an arcade game or jukebox is more likely to end up in a landfill the more "franken&...

Thank you so much Rob. It turns out I did have a copy of the original manual(s) in my main Seeburg book. I had studied the schematic and sequence of operation and found those switches. I hope to finish an outline I'm working on to detail the complicated 3Wa flow and post it for future use, and for o...

The schematic is for the WOM 200, a PDF I downloaded from the web somewhere. It looks like an original scan. The WOM is for home use and I'll never use the 15 cent selection, but I was just curious about the parts mix-n-match. I have never set the WOM for a 15 cent selection. Now I'm curious to know...

I bought a WOM 200 unit from eBay about a year ago. Needless to say I got it in very bad shape. It was as if stored face-up cover off in a barn for 30 years. I had taken apart what is not riveted and cleaned out all the crap. I also rewired the lighting system as someone had ripped out the original ...

Thanks for the tips I would not have thought of light bulbs and ballast. Paint scratches: Once a year I remove the whole phono out the back of the cabinet and do a complete thorough cleaning of the phono and to clean any dust collected in the cabinet. I put the phono on a bench and remove the magazi...

It's time for me to do regular maintenance on my AY160. I have just received (and studied) Ron's guide and looking forward to the work. I've done about 4 maintenance cycles since I've owned the machine. Based on the original overall condition, the jukebox appears to have been lightly used and not re...

Hi Ron:
I have an amazon account and it is easier for me to charge it rather than PayPal.

It's approaching the time for me to do a full maintenance on my AY160. I've been putting it off for various reasons... But I decided to support this project and fight piracy. I placed my order earlier: http://www.amazon.com/Richs-Seeburg-Jukebox-Repair-Mechanism/dp/B00DVB31G0 I'm looking forward to ...

So..............
I've been using the 3n1 oil in the red can for my Seeburg AY160 for the last year or so.
I now understand that is bad and need to switch. Exactly why is it bad, and I am wondering what damage I have done. Do I need to check and/or repair anything for its use?
Thanks in advance.

I just use GIMP, an open source free alternative to Photoshop.

I made a template of blank title strips, printed them to ensure they are the right size. That template is used to make all my strips. I just add the text and print it.

I had to rebuild my single price unit and it became necessary for me to understand how 7 plays for 50 cents is accomplished. I made this visual for future reference. It is NOT designed to replace the information obtained from the manual, but rather to expand on it. Reading the manual will make this ...
