My DS100 restoration thread.

Brad

Did you replace the dome glass, the graphics look new? If so where did you obtain the glass?

Darrell,
Replacement glasses, with great, if not EXACT, graphics, are available from a number of the sources listed above in this, the"jukebox" section ! Ron Rich

Ron

Thanks Ron, yes there are vendors that sell them, unfortunately they do not provide pictures of what you will get. I thought Brad's looked very close to original is why I was asking as it would give me an idea of what his supplier was offering.

Both the top and the bottom glass are original, they are presentable but are far from perfect. The top glass is completely missing the blue from the lettering and the bottom glass has wear around the title strip holders and at the bottom edge. I know the supplier I use has both glasses, and if you gave them a call I would assume they would get you pictures of them as they are not cheap.

I have been looking for the "Seeburg" sign but have been unable to find another. I bought my last one for twenty bucks I should have probably bought both of them but I Didn't think in a million years I would pick up another DS

Well, Iffin youz gotz one--have it copied --- OR--- contact MFFE, listed above, for either another one, or the letters that fit there, and make you own "personalized" sign ! Ron Rich

If you are referring to the "SEEBURG" logo in the top glass, Victory Glass has the red plastic ones for $10.00 while JukeboxUSA has the blue logo for $12.00.

Awww, just get ole mammie to sew you up some new ones..

Just when I though it was safe to go back in the water, I have another annoying sound coming from this DS100. whooo whooo............. whooo whooo...............whooo whooo.............. I am positive it is coming from interference from the mechanism through the pickup so I was going to replace the Drive bushings and the motor support plug but rather than shotgun this I was wondering if there are some other things on the mechanism that you guys have ran into that cause interference that I might look at as well?

Thanks
Brad

Hi Brad,
Impossible to tell what it is without hearing--more info needed--
When, do you hear this --start/end of a record, during a record ? -With tone arm lifted from record, or not?
Which needles/cart are you using ? --Tone arm balance/pressure/wiring (OPEN grounds, at TONE arm, when input plug is removed) correct ?
Did you dis-assemble/clean the motor--properly re-oil it/ and all mech points--which brand/type motor is used ? Did you, CORRECTLY, install a new motor coupler (hope you did NOT follow the instructions I saw on eBay !!!)? Is the motor support plug good ? Are all thrust bearings good, and correctly adjusted ?
If you pull the input plug from the amp, while playing a record------does that stop it?
