Seeburg S100

Hey guys, I have a Seeburg S100 from I believe 1968 that I've owned for 35 years. It's never gotten a *lot* of use but it's never been serviced either. If it was ever serviced, it was before I got it.

For the heck of it, I tried it last night after many years of not being run (it's in my home theater room where it's safe and warm) and it worked just as it always did.

But it got me to thinking that there should be at least some maintenance to perform. Are there lube points that should be addressed, should the tormat contacts be cleaned and if so, how?

Seeing that it was maybe only 20 years old when I got it, I would guess it's never been recapped - does this amplifier need recapping? It sounds like it did when I got it - not great and rolled off in the highs I would say, but I assume this was done to deal with badly mishandled and scratched records by the vendors that operated them.

Thoughts?

John
