M100C up and running - thanks!

It's working! Tech fixed the amp (needed new transformer) and we are in business,

I cannot help but sing along very loudly - not sure why a jukebox has this affect but its just a beautiful piece of machinery.

Thank you to everyone who provided advice, especially Rob-NYC, Ron and Eddie.

Of course I have a question. Apparently my 6J7 tube is missing its "Grid Cap" - anyone know where I can get one (as I cannot find it on the usual websites mentioned on the stickies)

thanks!

Doh! Fixed that.

re: Grid Cap...I am a complete novice at tubes, so I very sorry what I am sure are such basic questions. I may be using the wrong terminology. Perhaps I should be asking about a "shield/cover"???

The tech who serviced my amp said this may help reduce the hum from the amp before the record plays.

here is mine


and here is I guess what I am missing (picture from jukebox-world.de)?


If so, do I need to look out for one from a parts machine (as I cannot see anything in the usual repro parts sellers)

thanks!

You don't need that part.

Looks and sounds good, happy you got it going

Not sure if you need 6j7 grid cap however if you want one there is a seller on eBay that has a NOS with grid cap

I have seen a "million" or so that do not have it-never heard "hum"--Hum usually indicates a need to re-build it correctly !
