SEEBURG m100c

I have a Seeburg M100C jukebox and I was wondering if you could help me. It wants to reject the record when the needle lands on it. What needs to be done? Thanks-Deb

Hi Deb,
It needs to be "fixed"-- Many things can contribute to that fault. Do you have the Service Manual, do you have a copy of my "Seeburg Mechanism Guide", and do you have mechanical/electrical skills? Ron Rich

I DO HAVE THE BOOK. I CAN MANUEVER WHERE YOU TELL ME TO GO. NO, I AM NOT ELECTRICAL BUT IF I KNEW WHAT NEEDED TO BE DONE, I COULD GET MY SON IN LAW TO HELP. THANK YOU DEBRA

OK--then give this a try--remove the mechanism cover, and locate the "release lever" --Once you have done so, make a selection, and watch that lever--it should "fly up" , and then come down, at the time the record comes up the ramp. Do it a couple of times--hold down on it at the point it should be down--let me know if the record now plays, or not--

Ok,I did that and it stays down and when a record is selected it goes up and then goes back down and ejects the record. Now what? Thanks so much for helping me. deb

HI-Do you have any other ideas to help me?Thanks

Did you hold down on the lever at the point the record comes up--if so, what happened while you were holding it-??

IF I CONTINUE TO HOLD IT DOWN, IT STARTS TO BUZZ AND BYPASSES ALL SELECTIONS. BUT WHEN I TAKE MY FINGER OFF, IT WILL SELECT AND THEN EJECT. BUT, I CAME BACK TO THE COMPUTER TO TELL YOU AND IT SELECTED AND IS PLAYING. SO, I WILL SELECT MORE AND SEE. OK, AND I AM HAVING TO MANUALLY USE THE EJECT BECAUSE WHEN IT REACHES THE END IT WILL NOT EJECT IT BUT IS PLAYING.
OK, HAVE LISTENED TO ABOUT 10 RECORDS, BUT THEY WILL NOT EJECT AND THE NEEDLE WILL EITHER EJECT BACK TO THE END OF THE RECORD BUT NOT EJECT IT, AND WHEN THE NEEDLE LANDS ON THE RECORD, IT STARTS PAST THE START OF THE RECORD. I HOPE I AM MAKING SENSE.
I APPRECIATE ALL YOUR HELP WITH THIS, AS I LIVE IN RURAL EAST TEXAS, AND NO ONE TO SERVICE HERE FOR ABOUT 150 MILES.

OK--that's' what I needed to know--You have end of record "trip switch" problems--do you have a camera--can you send me a photo of that switch--showing the counterbalance spring setting ? -and the wires going to the front of it ?? Ron Rich

O.K. Ron, I have taken the pictures but they are too big to send this way, so can i get your email and send them to you? thanks deb
