So now that I have my R mechanically working about 95%, with a new CAP kit installed on the receiver, working on the AMP CAPs now, I started looking at cosmetic items I need to work on.
On the bottom of the HF100R, there are 5 pieces of tapered glass baffles and I just noticed that they are actually different, left hand and right handed. So here is my question, with 5 pieces I would assume that there should be 2 left and 2 right (from the edges inward) what should the middle piece be, left hand or right?

Also, what is considered left and right? One side of the glass is flat the other fluted. Assuming that the flat side would be towards the outside of the machine.

The reason I ask this is because I am missing the 2 end glass pieces and just trying to figure out which is which

Ron,
I have been "tolt", that Seeburg used both "left", and "right" handed glass in the center position--seems that they ordered the same amount of each type, and just changed it from time to time to keep a balanced inventory.
Since I "don't do cosmetics", I have never paid much atten to this, and don't know what to tell you--PERHAPS there is someone out there older then me, who remembers ?? Ron Rich

Thank you for that information, it is always good to know the details to make sure the restoration goes properly but also fun to learn and hear about the history of things too.

I figured it was a random thing for the center glass, surprised they did not have a specific piece for the center with baffle on both sides.

Ron,
They may have had ??--what's the parts section of the Service Manual say ?? I never thought to look, as to me it's just a piece of Glass

The parts lists shows only left and right, that is why the original question, since there is 5 the center has to be 1 of them.

I have 2 original pieces coming in as I need a LH and RH piece for both ends of the machine. The 2 people I got them from could not understand what I was asking, so I am not sure if I am getting both LH or both RH or 1 of each..... Want to place a bet as to what I get

And your book will be here today... looking forward to reading it.

Hi Ron,
No sir--I would never take that bet--especially if your sellers were eBay-ers !!!
I would take that bet, if you have purchased from one of the legit sellers I listed above--

Well I received one of the pieces today and it was a right handed glass.... hoefully the other is a left one and then I am done for missing cosmetic pieces.

Now I have the unit working I am planning on stripping it down 100% and rebuild everything from the ground up. Thanks for your help, got your book today, a great read.

Ron,
You are welcome--and thank-you for purchasing the Mech Guide!
Good luck !
