Seeburg Selectomatic HF100G Oh, OHHH!

Gentlemen,
I've joined your forum in a desperate attempt to quickly find some answers. The story is this: We were using the Seeburg Jukebox HF100G when were were staying at a summer place this summer. It is a coin operated unit that doesn't need the coins anymore. One afternoon it just stopped. The lights are on, everything looks normal, but the carriage is all the way to the left and not moving. The carriage is empty of records. I don't want to force anything but am willing to open the back if needed. If you press the buttons, it makes the appropriate loud clicking sound as if it is calling for the next number. The geared track it rides on seems fairly clean, and it was operating fine until the unit stopped at the far left. Please, oh please, could there be a reset button inside? I know my grandchildren loved it and would just walk by and press another selection. Is it possible they selected too many? I'm a fairly good mechanic and used to play with radio and TV repair in the early days, so I'm not stupid, but I am now.. Please help before i have to tell the owner we broke his machine....

Hi Fred,
Let's see what we can do--
Try the following--
Open the dome and look on the left hand side under the mechanism for two toggle switches. One is spring loaded the other is a toggle type. Check that both are "pointed" in the same direction. If so, push the spring loaded switch and see if the mechanism moves--it should--let me know and we'll go from here-- Ron Rich
