Phonoland

Hello, I am a new user on this site and am in need of your help.
I am trying to kick back into life a E100 77D Topaz.
I have freed of the mech and now to start on the electronics.
I have purchased Ron Rich's book but it does not tell me the number of the transistor used on the plug-in board in the PPC 1 H5,the legs of the trans are still there but the actual body is missing.
Can anyone help.
many thanks, martyn.

Thanks for the book purchase--don't know which one you have, but neither of the two I wrote are specific to that model phono.
"The Seeburg Mechanism Guide" does cover the mechanism, but is a general guide to all Seeburgs built between 1949 and 1984--.
What you will need is an "electronics" parts book that covers that model--or give me the "location number" of that device, if silk screened on the "card", and I can look it up for you-- Besides the factory books, the late Tony Miller ( who designned the "red box system"), has a book available on it. See above "--announcements--where to find--" Ron Rich

Hi Ron,
Many thanks for your reply.
I will try to get a picture up-loaded so you can at least see what I am talking about.
Being a new user to your site it may take me a while to find my way around.
Regards, Martyn.

No need to post a photo--just tell me what the board part # is, and what the silk-screen says, under/beside, the bad component--or if it's marked, tell me what the component says-- Ron Rich

Hello Ron,
The number of the board is 70-319504-A,
There is not a component number only the O marked C G and A. where the trans locates into the board.
Hope that gives you an idea,
Thanks,Martyn.

That's what Seeburg called a Silicone Control Switch(SCS)--others call it a Silicone Control Rectifier(SCR).
Use a 2N5064--watch lead ID--it may be different--depending on the brand. Ron Rich

Hi Ron,
Many thanks for your help.I have located one over here in the UK so I will give it a go.
I will more than likely will be in need of your help again as I am more use to the older Seeburgs than these from the 70's.
Once again many thanks, Best wishes, Martyn.

Hi Martyn,

Send me your details over I somtimes get enquires re Seeburg boxes and in the past have worked on LPC's Matador's etc.

Alan
