I'm happy to report that, more than 3 months after making my initial post here, my Seeburg LPC-480 was finally repaired today. Without a doubt, the greatest challenge was in finding someone to come out to the house. I spoke with no fewer than 3 techs who either (a) promised to call me back to set up...

Did you try the "usual suspects" listed above ?? Ron Rich Oh yes, I've checked them all. There's a well known place in Hagerstown, MD not too far from me -- that is a good source for coin op parts. I'm sure it will turn up somewhere. I just bought 4 used needles from them to have on hand ...

Thanks Alan and Ron. Very observant of you Ron to notice the issue with the frames. When I originally purchased the box, it came with 5 white frames and each one held an album cover with a mirror behind it. I wanted my machine to look more like the way it originally looked, so I purchased the glass ...

I think it may still be on there. Is that it, noted by the red X? I also noticed something else when I was editing the photo prior to uploading it here. Notice how nicely those selection squares are illuminated from the overhead lighting in my family room! The jukebox is off, but with the lid raised...

I'll check on the defuser tonight. I'll probably take another picture "under the hood" and upload it here, since I am mechanically challenged. What does a defuser do? The numbers/letters aren't faded, but there is a certain amount of yellowing to the title strip holder. Not so much yellowi...

Not quite sure what you mean by "selection indicators" The little squares next to the title strips that read A1, B1, all the way up to V8. But I think you've answered my question. The bottom-lit LPC-1 does a better job of illuminating those selection squares and even the title strips are ...

Bob, Got a Service Manual ?--tells you "how many--what type" lamps are used in that model, 1st, or 2nd page--Parts manual will show you also--Ron Rich Yes, I have a manual for my 480. The diagram shows 2 bulbs (36-inch, 30 watt cool white fluorescents). I should have phrased my question b...

I was at a record show today where several jukeboxes, including a Seeburg LPC-1 were on display. I own an LPC-480 and I was struck by a difference in the two machines, and I'm wondering if my LPC-480 is missing something that should be a part of it. Pictured below are the LPC-1 from the show and my ...

I haven't tried holding the relay down yet -- I think I understand where the "phenolic insulated part" is -- but before I do, I wanted to further illustrate with yet another video, that B-sides of 33-1/3 Little LPs will play upon being selected. Why would that be? Why would this happen onl...

The tech I contacted lives about 2 hours away and wants as much information in advance as possible, so he has a better idea as to what he's dealing with when he gets out here. That might be a good while from now as he has a regular job, family, etc. We haven't even scheduled a date / time yet. In th...

Thanks Ron. I have a tech coming out to fix the reversing relay problem I brought up in another thread. A proper cleaning and lubrication is on the TO DO list!

I'm no technician, but this conversation has captured my interest. I own an LPC-480 that plays both the 33-1/3 "Little LP's" and 45s without problems. When you say your 45s are being played really slow, I'm wondering "how slow?" Are they perhaps being played at 33-1/3? And if so,...

PM sent. Thanks Rob.

New member here. I recently purchased a Seeburg LPC480. It worked fine for the first few days, then began occasionally failing to play B-sides as the turntable would reverse its rotation shortly after the needle made contact with the record. Now it happens every time with every selected B-side. The ...
