Видео

I'm still around, just not have been making any new videos on repairs. Not sure when I'll be back in doing them. Things have been ok but I got some family changes coming down the road which is going to be hard down the road. Plus, have been playing lots of games well streaming at times on Twitch.

Sure thing, ask away and I'll do my best to help out.

​@@CloudTheTank Thanks! I messed up by pressing down on the Lifter Bracket and locking it into place. That's what normally pops back up after play is over, @4:26 in your video. The problem is that I pressed the Lifter down BEFORE play started (the gripper arm hadn't come out yet). And as I learned the hard way, by doing things out of order, the Lifter bracket now blocks the movement on a piece on the turntable plate that's connected to the drive rod in the back of the plate that is connected to the gears on the gripper motor. Because of this, the gripper arm can't complete its full motion; it gets stuck about 95% of the way there. And because the gripper doesn't complete its rotation, this prevents the tonearm mechanism from being engaged. The jukebox is in a weird limbo: the turntable is spinning as if its in play mode but because the gripper arm can't finish its motion, the tonearm doesn't think it's in play mode. The jukebox is now "stuck." I can't cancel things because you can only cancel a play if the tonearm is engaged. What I need to do is find a way to release the Lifter manually. I tried seeing if I could force the Lifter high enough to allow the gripper arm to complete its motion but it would take more force to do so than I'm comfortable with (I'd be risking breaking the Lifter completely). And clearly, the Lifter bracket is supposed to be released somehow but for the life of me, I cant figure out how to do that! This video does a better job of showing you what I'm talking about. www.dropbox.com/home/Public?di=left_nav_browse&preview=IMG_5604.MOV

The first thing to do is reverse the motor that operates the gripper arm manually under the unit back to the basket well the turntable plater is off and carefully move the part that ingages the 45 adapter forks. If the jukebox is on be sure it's in manual mode and not automatically since the limits switch in the back will be clicked to activate the motor you need to move back. For now what I read it is getting jammed when it goes into play by the part not being in front of the slide that controls the tone arm and popularity selected rod to the bank in the front.

Hola, parece que el solenoide en el brazo de seleccion no funciona para disparar el pin o hay una mala conexion con el tablero de lectura en el lado izquierdo del banco de pins.

I been good. have not made videos on repairs. Do have some minor health trouble but it most likely do to bad eating habits and not moving all that much no more other then work. Not sure if I will make much more videos unless something comes up and like to make a video on it.

@@CloudTheTank hello I just want you to know that you missed a great deal and I wish you to get well very soon and all the best to you always I think I saw you on f/b I think I friended you there the best tovyou always my friend jon

Google translate is not very good but get some idea on some details. To get audio, ya need a Stereo with a Phono input with female RCA jacks to hook up the cables coming from the record unit, should not have to worry about a ground wire. The speaker hook up should be easy. just get normal speaker wire to hook up to the stereo. For the record playing part, The message don't make sense but sounds like it picks up the record but will not cancel it once its over. There has to be a magnet to trip the switch that's located near the tone arm in a glass case. If the magnet is gone it will not cancel the record once done. I have a part in my Seeburg repair talking about it.

​@@CloudTheTank hello, the magnet is placed on the arm and before when the original amplifier worked, the finalization of the disc picked it up without problem. Now I've put a stereo amplifier on it but it doesn't pick up the record, it lacks power to the cables that the magnet makes act. apparently that current is sent by the original amplifier and I don't know how to solve it. Thank you very much for answering

The mechanism that plays the records most likely needs its clutch cleaned and greased (oil will help if stuck) for it to pick up the records and move the mechanism to the record selected on the rack. When the clutch is down it moves the turntable, then once it find the selection it moves the clutch up and the arm on the bottom that's lined up to the slot picks the record up to play it. If the arm on the bottom dose not line up then the tormat in the back which is a bar with lots of contack points on will need adjusting for it to line up with in 1/16 (1mm) of a inch or it will hit the rack and not pick up the record or pick one up in the wrong slot.

hello, manually if you pick up the disc and pick it up again. The problem is that the amplifier doesn't work, it's broken and since I can't find one like it here in Spain, I don't know how to adapt a normal stereo amplifier, and adapt something so that it automatically picks up the disc when the disc ends. It's the only way I have to get my seeburg sl100 carnival jukebox back on. Thank you

no it really is a nonsensicle uninstructional mess wtf i don't understand what he shows us..unless what hes showing us is not one damned thing unless hes showing his hamhandedness in closing the lid...STU PIT

It may be rusty in a lot of spots and missing the back penal to cover the under side of the cabinet, but it can still live. I don't plain on doing a full restore of the jukebox, manly bring it back to life and do little clean up. If parts need replace I will do the cheap route. I seen videos of other folks having something worse then what I got and they do a custom job to bring the machines back and seeing that makes me feel good that others care for a Jukebox or any old electronic we just don't make no more do to cast and lack of skills like are for-fathers back in there days.

The temp sounds about right for it, If the temp was getting to about 75 Celsius or more then its being overloaded with a cap drying out. when caps start to go bad is when they are effaced be being hot from cold, starting popping on the top or leaking from the bottom which will destroy the board is not removed and cleaned up. So at 54 deg Celsius if normal I say, your all good. Glade I could help and thanks for watching the videos.

I would check to make sure the B side tone arm is straight, if it is some how bent along the tone arm which you will have to look behind the plastic guard to see. What happens is if the arm is not straight or something is wrong with the sensor, that will cause the tone arm to move more faster across the record and not follow the gooves. The make of the turntable is pretty much the same as the self drive turntables that some company's made, sharp and Technic are two that I know that make them.

If there paper caps I would, plus I would make sure you are getting credits that should activate the silinode which ya can hear by a buzzing sound.

I will do the best I can to help with any question. Thank you for in joying my videos and hope it helps.

@@CloudTheTank i have the mech running smoothly but the only thing it won't do is stop the record and put it back when it's done.

@@CloudTheTank Not sure if it's the trip switch or the magnet. Or if it's mi aligned in some way?

@@rickynlucy1 Could try Adjusting the Magnet by loosen the set screw and move it closer inward to see if it trip the swtich in the glass next to it. If not the relay trip is not getting power or it shorted to ground.

@@CloudTheTank Do I check the continuity on the switch when the magnet is close?

Could be possible that the speaker mite be rotting out making it sound bad. Staying safe so far and thanks for in joying my video's.

@@CloudTheTank I always enjoy your videos and all the work you put into them and how you explain the process that you go about fixing all the problems I am friends on f b with you jon josh and I have always wanted a dead garbage juke to tear down and practice on just a street find but not sure where to find one so I can get hands on learning I know it will be fun there has been videos uploaded about a 16mm jukebox call scopitone that you might be interested in seeing i will contact you later on f b all the best to you and your family for a very happy and healthy holidays and very merry christmas keep up the great work you are amazing jon

Na, it's been a long time sense I been to the park they set the engine in Jackson, Michigan. It'll be nice if they restore the locomotive to a better shape, it was falling apart here with the odd weather we have here in Michigan. Thank you for the update, I'll look more into the locomotive sometime.

Thank you for injoying the videos. When I do the videos I pretty much learn as I go when recording. Sometimes I make mistakes but that's the possess of learning. I am from lower part of MI close to MIS.

@@CloudTheTank me I am from sc. on the r 81 I found that my mine problem was in the selection logic board on the right side once i fixed the bad connection s on the board it started picking the right selects . Just a tip take care.

Mine was pretty oxide from the wet weather or a sprinkler system when I got it off ebay from a seller in New York. I'm lucky mine was not too bad. Still have a minor problem with the audio channel on the left side I need to look at sometime. Best of luck on your repairs and hope ya get them both working, there pretty rare now a days and really pricy if sold online.

@@CloudTheTank Yeah mine has some oxidation and rust overall as well. It sure isn't looking superb but it isn't causing problems it seems. Thankfully at least all mechanical problems have been fixed. Right now I have issues with the tape recorder, which is technically running, but having no sound output overall. Backtracked all solder joints and cables yet I didn't find any problem there. Radio output is fine, and when I tip my finger on the cassette head (by now I just didn't care anymore) I get a direct respond from the speakers - so by now I am just out of ideas, yet.

Na, am not worry about how popular my videos are. Just as long as there helpful to others and show all the cool workings of them from what I learned, it all good for me.

There is a way to adjust the speed. The motor should have a small cloth cover hole to adjust the kHz speed. I have a digital copy of the service manual of the deck incase ya need one.

@@CloudTheTank thanks for your advise. I would be much obliged if you would send me a copy. Thanks in advance ☺

@@TheDIDSBIAK OK, I send them through email this weekend once I have an address to sent them to.

@@CloudTheTank hi there @CloudTheTank, please confirm if the copy is already sent to the adress in my reply?

@@TheDIDSBIAK ok, I just sent it, I messed up the first email sent but I got the right one sent and its a PDF file. Good Luck.

Thank you, I had to add a little support for the tone arm on mine so it can pick up the tone arm when the record was over.
