Guy's,
As for bolting the mech down for shipment, the "Installation and Operation Guide" covers the proper procedure. It requires that you have the two special "tie down" bolts, and some 1/4 inch shims. If you do not have the bolts, I strongly recommend the mechanism be removed, or at minimum,the 4 shipping nuts be run all the way to the top ("Play" position), and the phono kept in a level position at all times--

I found the above thread ("Seeburg USC-1 Musical Bandshell") searching for information on this jukebox, along with links to very helpful videos. Since all I know is Rock Ola, I had no idea what these machines looked like inside. I am considering buying one but I would have to lay it down to transport it home. Assuming I would have limited time onsite to mess with something I''m not familiar with, what's the best way to do this? Will tightening down the four suspension nuts (with shims) do, or those four plus the two 1/4-20 x 4-1/2 screws through the coin door (don't know if I'll have access to the coin box); or is removing the entire mech as easy as that video makes it look? Bear in mind that it has to lay down. I have no paperwork for this machine but if I get it I definitely will get the manuals. I'll appreciate any advice.

Patrick,
Either all four "tie downs" properly shimmed FIRST, are required, plus the two that go thru the cashbox, on that model--or--
Mech removal--not to hard--watch out for the "stabilizer screws" that should be installed. I strongly suggest it be done, if you can not do the above--one caution--If the pins are removed, you can, and will, bust the "stand-up type sockets", for the stabilizer screws, if you attempt to pull the mech out. I have not seen this video--don't know if those screws are mentioned, or just broken off ?
