Re: Phonoland starting 2015 with a complete redesign!

Hi,

I'd like to report that the new site-layout causes problems on Safari on mac.
I am using Yosemite with Safari 9.

The problem is that on a subpage you cannot select any post or section. The links do not work (not recognised as links by safari)

Re: Seeburg SMC1 / Disco flutter sound

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...

Re: Seeburg SMC1 / Disco flutter sound

I replaced only one, the top one. The one at the bottom looks fine still, thought the rubber is a lot softer.

Re: Seeburg SMC1 / Disco flutter sound

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 ...

Re: Seeburg SMC1 / Disco flutter sound

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...

Re: Seeburg SMC1 / Disco flutter sound

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 ...

Re: Seeburg SMC1 / Disco flutter sound

Hi Ron, Very happy with your input still on this, let me try to answer your questions. 1. I assume you mean that the inner dimensions of the mounts are different from the older mounts available. The product I bought is this one . It's a special version with an adapter ring so it fits. 2. I did the a...

Re: Seeburg SMC1 / Disco flutter sound

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.

Hope I can resolve this issue.

Re: SMC-1 title strips

Here are the foils I used. They are used in Theaters as filters for their Lights.

Re: SMC-1 title strips

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.

ps. Sorry for the delay

Re: SMC-1 title strips

It's absolutely original.
Even the ads have those.

It's purely cosmetics, I have new ones on my juke, the original ones were completely yellowed. New ones make it looks so much better!

Re: Seeburg SMC1 / Disco flutter sound

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 ...

Re: SMC1 amp rebuild

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...
