Seeburg Pin Bank Clean/Repair

by ds100h » Sun Jun 14, 2015 3:13 am

Does anyone know of any good book/video that is available showing in detail how to perform this task? And if you do, what is the name and where can you obtain it?

Thanks in advance

Thank you very much for that link. That is a very good job of revealing what is involved in working on the pin bank.

I found it better to desolder the connection to the top contact trays for complete removal.
Be sure to keep track of the position of the contact trays, both their position relative to each other and their orientation top to bottom. That way you'll not have to readjust the contacts of the contact trays...much.

Thanks for the tip, also, is there much difference between the "A" pinbank and the one shown ("C" ?)?

The "A" had the pins facing up so it could collect all the dirt, poor design not well thought out.

Is the "A" more difficult to work on, and if so what causes this?

The reason I ask is I see they sell all but the "A" pinbanks reconditioned exchange for $200.00 and think there must be some reason they do not do the same with the "A" pinbanks.

Hi Darrell,
Who are "they" ?
The reason for the A pin-banks, in my case, is, I have no parts to use if needed--otherwise, same difference--only bigger --

Hi Ron

Patrick at A-1 Jukebox & Nostalgia, Inc. does an exchange for $195.00 and postage with a 100% guarantee, but the Seeburg "A" is not included for some reason? If they do all the rest I can not figure out why they will not do an "A"?

Hi Darrell,
IMHO, Patrick is a "good guy". I have done a little business with him, and have always found the quality to be as good as the OEM parts.
As for why he does not want to do model A, SAU's--you will need to axk him ! I don't do them due to lack of parts.
