thanks for the schematics, from it it looks like the bass speaker and horn are combined together and are plugged into the machine speaker socket on the amp, on the machine i have the plug was removed at some stage. Anyone any pictures of the tone arm i have a manual drawing of it but its difficult to make out the parts

I'll get you a photo today when I go out to storage and will post it. I have mech parts as well as I have several 1493's.

thanks, any surplus parts let me know, pm me if you have

Here's a couple photos. Not good but I'd have to move jukeboxes and pull one out in the light to get better shots. I took photos of a machine that was missing the mech shroud but is mostly complete. I removed the turntable and tone arm to get photos but had to use a flash as it is dark. I also took a photo of another parts machine (painted blue tone arm) that may show the assembly better. I have two very nice and complete machines that I can take photos of but I'd have to move several jukeboxes to get to them and they have their shrouds covering much of the assemblies. Let me know if you need a photo from a different angle. I can also send you the same photos that are much larger and more detailed if you send me your e-mail address.

Thanks thats great, thanks for taking the trouble, i will pm my email address for the larger photos

Hi Juker: I understand you have several Princess machines. Would you happen to have a Power Distribution Assembly schematic? The 3' X 5' type.
