hello, do you have the electric diagram of the V200?

[garrett0404]

Yes, as well as the original owners manual.

great machine! did you rebuild it?  What did it set you back???

[garrett0404]

Sorry for the delay... Thanks for the compliment..I traded an older guy some Lionel train engines and accessories

for it in 1998. It was missing the drum. Found one back then when they were still cheap. Came with the wallbox.

RMS Restorations in Elk Grove, Ca. rebuilt it for 3500.00 in 2007. RMS does great work which includes a lifetime

warranty!!

This track is from the LP "Band of the Year" from around 1955, it has the "American Bandstand" theme song was on that album.

man I picked one of these back up dirt cheap in the early 1980s out of somones basement for only $20.00!  all that was wrong was bad caps in the amp I later in a couple more years traded it for some electronic stuff9yeah what an idiot lol) man I so wish I had that box now! I also had a seeburg R which I bought off a school for $50.00! it worked fine but had the side glass broken out of it oh why do w ehave to make such bad decisions to seel stuff when we were young and sometimes dumb?:p

@2agray Who cares how slow they scan? Part of the jukebox experience is watching it pick up the record. As with any jukebox, it's purely a mechanical fascination, it certainly isn't the music. If that were the case, there would be no reason to have a clumsy, poor-sounding machine digging up your records. if you want a faster selection time, buy an iPod.

Read through another link that 'Bandstand Boogie' was first recorded in 1954. I've got over 400 public playlists, 120 of them take you to the sounds of ANY year back past 1900, so you'll hear this on the 1954 list.

[2agray]

Yep! And its really hard to find an actual tormat that doesn't work today unless they were beaten with a sledgehammer. Much better than the pin bank. The title strip drums could be problematic though in the V and KD/KS. The only problem with the early tormats was the speed. Very slooooooooow scanning.

I restored a V200 in 1993 and still have it.

Incredible sound. Uses the tormat memory system -- acronym for "Toroid Matrix" Each selection is a "bit" that writes a binary address into a computer

(yup, in 1955) and then remembered where it was located in the record magazine, scanned and played it.

Incredible technology for its time, about 25 years ahead -- Seeburg also designed the first version of the Sidewinder missile in 1956. Awesome engineers!!!!!!!!!!!
