Hi Ron, The mech was still giving me headaches and earpain. Stil bad sound. Yesterday I bought a different SMC-1 Mech and connected it. It sounded better allready with the old hardened rubbers still in it. So I cleaned the new Mech, Switched rubber parts from old one to the new one and now I have a ...
Yes I agree, I ordered new mounts, different manufacturer this time. Because of the difference in size we will need to make an adapter ring. But thats the least of the problems :) I'll get back with the results once the parts are in. Thanks soo much so far ps. I got your new CPU and it works wonderf...
I have a situation now where the jukebox sounds great! Very happy with that. When I took it all apart I noticed that the new motor=mount that I got was a lot stiffer than the Original one still mounted at the bottom. So I removed the top mount and put the motor back in without it. Problem solved (I ...
I have not yet taken apart the turntable completely. I did take it apart a little to mount the new turntable rubbers. The bearings felt good. I believe there is nothing left to do but take the whole turntable out of it and see how everything is. We will make a new bearing then from brass and fix tha...
Hi Ron, Good to hear te parts are good. I took the motor out and noticed some "play" in the "drive shaft"? The one where the motor coupling is connected to. Here is a video of it: play on driveshaft The Clamp is holding a firm grip. No change when pressing extra against it. When ...

The product I bought is this one . It's a special version with an adapter ring so it fits. 2. I did the a...
This problem is still ongoing and is taking the joy out of listening to the music. I'll buy your Mech book and see if I missed anything during my hours of inspection and testing.
Friend of mine uses foils to color the lights in a theater. He had a sample book with all foils in it. I just matched the best looking ones. I'll have to find the pictures of them. I'll post them shortly.
I'm still not happy with the sound on this Juke. However, I have never heard one play so maybe I'm just asking too much? Main problem is that there is still a light flutter in the sound. You can hear this best on a constant tone in the mid-range. Disco songs, beats etc sound marvelous. I'm a little ...
I find this true on my SMC1 as well. The highs sound distorted, or over modulated. When I connect a normal pick-up to the amp it all sounds very very good and lower in volume. This made me think the signal I was getting from the cartridge / needle. I have replaced the needles with NOS yellow see bur...
