Seeburg hs100

I have one of these here ..... Mech wasn't working , 1 speaker hooked up and wrong one ..... While messing with the mech what can I do for a load on the amp ???? And after I get speaks what's the correct terminals to hook them to ???? From what I saw these should be 5 ohm.... Is there anything I can sub in there for now safely ??

Thanks

Hi Mike,
Whatz a "hs 100" ?? want to look at ID tag again with my glasses on ?? Ron Rich

ron s-100 im sorry

Hi Mike,
All Seeburgs starting with the (1966) PFEA models, using a type TSA-4, Amp., on up, use a 5 ohm speaker system. The S-100 was a 1967 model, some equipped with a mono amp, others with a stereo amp. All cabinet speakers should be connected to the highest wattage taps available on the amp --IF--no other speakers are connected. If looking for a "replacement" speaker, I would check one or more of the "jukebox junkyards"-- IMHO, the correct Seeburg speaker will always sound the best. A 4-8 ohm can be subbed safely. Ron Rich

Yes indeedy Ronnie.
Solid state amps are usually compatable with 4 ohm speakers and upwards.
The only trade off with higher ohm speakers is a bit of volume, hardly noticeable in most cases.
So, ya just UP the volume a tad.

Thank you that answered my questions ..... There are seeburg 12" 5 ohm oems on eBay they should be fine ..... While testing the mech and unit till they get there I'll load the amp with (2) 4 ohms I have
Thank you
