Perhaps someone can help me. I am repairing the model listed above and do not have any manuals or schematics. My skill level on old jukeboxes is 8 of 10. The problem is none of the solonoids seem to be working. I can manually push a location pin and the unit will move and play the record, but its not fireing the reset solonoid, so it scans and plays the same record over and over. It is also is not fireing the "record counter" solonid wheel either. and last, it is not allowing me to select any selections. I press "A1" for example, and the buttons go down (and stay down), but never fires the selection pin, nor do the buttons pop back out. I have to reach in and move the bar by hand to reset the buttons. Never plays the selection. It all seems to be solonoid related so theres got to be some common problem. Ive cleaned all the contacts top to bottom. Any help would be greatly accepted.

Greg,
Witout a manual, this will be nearly impossible--All Seeburg's from the model B thru the JL, are the same in mech wiring, so if you have any one of these manuals, you can use it--
Manuals are available--see above post: "annoncements--where to find--"
Your cancel coils and the pop meter coil are fired by the "C-SC" switches. Adjustment of these is critical, to avoid burning out cancel coils. They are both fired by 25 vac that comes from pin #2 of the mech plug.
Your keyboard "sticking down" problems are the result of the timing relay in the CCU either not getting the "20" volt dc power, or, bad contacts on the relay itself--once again--a VERY critical "adjustment"--you need to follow the insts. in the Service Manual ---
One caution, if you have a WSR-5in that phono, be sure the out board fuse is a 1.6 SB amp, or less --some WSR-5's were marked "2" ampSB--a 1 amp is better and called for in later production units, and in the WSR-7's (where it's in a "normal" fuse post holder).
HTH, Ron Rich
