Hello All,
I am Tom and I am new to the forum. My father has a 1973 Seeburg Matador we inherited. When we got the machine it selected and played, then its performance began to decline, it began not playing the right selection then kinda stopped playing all together. We have the Manuals and Schematics, The machine powers on, Lights, amp Hum, but punching any keys will not budge the cartridge. I am good with electromechanics and I fix and restore pinball machines, but I am kind of lost for a place to start here. Any advice would be helpful, or any link to anywhere else I can get info would be great. Thanks in advance.

Hi Tom,
Is the mechanism in play position ?? Is the motor running ?
I would humbly suggest a copy of my "Seeburg MicroLog Trouble Shooting Guide", and probably a copy of my "Seeburg Mechanism Guide"( if not familiar with the mechanisms)-- would be of help---
PM me if you wish to purchase a copy--
