So this jukebox plays 33 RPM LP's? All I've ever seen Jukebox play are 7" 45's.

@Trance88 It will play 7" 33 RPM records along with 7" 45's...there is a switch that detects the large or small hole of the record when it is loaded and switches in the autospeed generator for a small-hole 33 RPM record. They are not all that common but we have found a few of them.

Hello picked up this 1968 seeburg LS-2 jukebox you are viewing overall in great condition but cannot get it working, the motor is working but when i hit the scan switch the scanning mechanism does not move, cannot play anything or reject, also how do you no if your service switch has gone bad, any help asap would be greatly appreciated, to note it does look very dirty below mech. Thanks

@Trance88 Seeburg made a home console jukebox that looks like a console stereo of the period that plays 12" 33-1/3 LP records...I have restored 3 of them. They were made in the late 60's thru the early 70's...They have a telephone dial to "dial up" the record # you want to play on the earlier ones! They sound awesome, too! Watch Ebay for one...they usually go for around 300 bucks. Some have an 8-track & AM/FM radio built in, too!

I cleaned my Seeburg R mech by spraying it with denatured alcohol & got all that old grease & oil out. Had to remove the clutch & spray it with DA & also cleaned & lubed the transfer arm mech because it wasn't pushing the record into play position fast enough before proceeding to clamp it.

I always wondered how/where you got your knowledge for these electronics and being able to fix things. Never would have guessed you owned your own shop, I just figured you did it for fun

@retrochad when you order parts like capacitors where do you get them from?

i have a few pa amplifiers that i converted to hi-fi but i need some new caps but i dont want to spend a lot

[mznxb9872]

What capacitance were the old speaker output caps, and what size did you replace them with?

I just finished cleaning and relubing the entire mech on my Rock-Ola 478. That was fun.lol I did it in two stages. I pulled the gripper mech out, completely disassembled, cleaned off all old oil and grease, and relubed. Just did the magazine assembly the other day. The juke worked before this, but much smoother now. Glad I'm done.
