Seeburg SS-160 (Stereo Showcase) -- leaf adjustments?
Posted: Mon Oct 07, 2013 2:40 am
Hi all,
I recently picked up my first jukebox, a Seeburg SS-160 from 1967. It has been sitting in a home, non-working, for several years. It seems very filthy, and it wasn't playing records, so my first instinct was to clean the leaf switches. I used a Q-Tip & Rubbing Alcohol, and now the mechanism will scan, pick up a record, a long buzz once, then as it goes to put the tone arm down on the record, it buzzes again and puts it back. I think that I must have bent the leaf switches when I was cleaning them, so I went through the manual looking for the pages that have the diagrams for adjusting the leaf switches. Unfortunately, my manual is missing the pages that have these diagrams. I have the rest of the manual, so I don't see it fit to purchase a whole new manual, I just need those few pages. Just wondering if anyone might have a digital version that I could get ahold of those couple pages and finally get this old jukebox into working condition after many years.
Thanks!
Derek
