Seeburg DS 160 Question

JMLIGON · by **JMLIGON** » Wed Apr 29, 2015 9:25 pm

Hi Guys,

I just picked up a DS160 that looks mostly complete. It's missing the 2050 Thyrathon tube.

When I make a selection, the mech scans back and forth twice and stops. If I remember correctly the Thyrathon tube is necessary for the Tormat to work correctly. (can you verify)

Also, are all 2050 tubes the same? Manual is on the way. Lost the last one in the great divorce.

Thanks,

Mark

Hi Mark,
Correct--2050 needed to detent/trip off at end of record. Also correct--2050, is a 2050--

Ron,

I go the 2050 (actually a 2050A). Plugged it in and I'm still getting two complete scans but no selection when I select.

Waiting on the manual. Any suggestions in the mean time?

I only have the Selector unit installed. Should this work with out the amplifier portion plugged in?

Thanks much.

Mark

Hi Mark,
I HOPE you purchased the "Service Manual Package", from a legit source, as it should include the factory trouble shooting guide--
I would also humbly suggest that if you don't know how the Seeburg Mechanism should operate, my "Seeburg Mechanism Guide", should be of help--PM me to purchase a copy, if you wish.
Lotza things can cause your symptoms--You will need to read, and then define the problem(s), a little more, so someone can help--
