Needles for Pickering 345 cartridge Seeburg SS160

I figured I'd start a post about the pickering 345 cartridge needles. I'm looking for the best set I can find. The last pair I got I'm not happy with. My juke has some distortion in the vocal range. I have replaced the tone arm wire, adjusted the mech and had the amp rebuilt and still It seems to be...

Re: 1966 seeburg tonearm swap, set drift and tonearm wire routing

Would used non worn out needles be a better option? I think I have the set that came with the box. By the look of the records it may have been last used in 1998 or 99. I read they can be cleaned with good results.

Re: 1966 seeburg tonearm swap, set drift and tonearm wire routing

Ok set screw and wire loop adjustment solved it. Plays pretty good now.I Adjusted the pick up location inwards since it was landing beyond the record too. Thanks Rob and Ron for your help!

Rob- Are you in new york? Id be interested in checking out one of the nostalgia locations you mentioned.

Re: 1966 seeburg tonearm swap, set drift and tonearm wire routing

Does the wiring route through the cradle assembly?

I haven't really adjusted the springs yet, I only got them in place and discovered that the tone arm wouldn't drift. So still need to set it.

1966 seeburg tonearm swap, set drift and tonearm wire routing

I swapped out the red tonearm in my 66 SS160 Seeburg. The wire at the cartridge connector had broken. I replaced it with a "Blue" colored Arm from a later model. Seems to be very similar but with better damping action. I should have taken better photographs beforehand. I now have sound fro...

Re: SS160 Scans 2x then stops Tormat Wiring?

Ron, ThAnk you for you quick response and instructions. too clarify the Juke does make EVERY selection, in order, if you change torrid states, with a D cell Battery. What I meant to communicate is that It will also trip and play if you connect the positive side of a battery momentarily to the TMU so...

Re: Audio output =Wurlitzer O.M.T. 1015 45rpm (1988?)

It does indeed have a 5 pin din connector for a aux out

I ordered this, I hope the connection is fairly standard. 5pin din to RCA cable

Re: 67 Seeburg SS160

I flipped the spring around and re checked the pressure and now...

Re: 67 Seeburg SS160

Which pins are the left and right channel? I tried getting an ohms reading several ways before hooking up to the two front pins and then the two back pins. I say front and back pins in relation to me standing directly in front of the jukebox. I would have thought the two pins directly below each sty...

Re: 67 Seeburg SS160

I have new needles i do believe I flipped them awhile back to no avail. Will try now again that there is less variables in the mix. My guess was the socket, cartridge or needle.
