Badly Geppetto-ed and shambles, but interesting. And yes, I did notice the piece of paper in the stepper.....?

Rob,
The paper under the stepper is there because the armature is magnetized, and whomever put it there did not know what else to do--did you notice the replacement tone arm--the worst one Seeburg ever made ! I loved the green "G" button (for "GO", maybe ?)--
And BTW--that is NOT a "R-100", it's a model, HF 100 R. Ron Rich

Oh, when I first saw this last evening I fumed a bit at the state of that machine. I hadn't been able to listen to the audio as the sound in that room was in use for guests.

When I later viewed it again it became apparent that this fellow is a electronics repairman/hobbyist and this was his first juke.

I invited him to join this, and other forums if he has questions.

PS: I know what you mean by that tonearm reference...You are not foolng me:-)
