I've got a couple Seeburgs.
An M100B that's been in the family since 1964 and a Q100 SH that I picked up earlier this year. The Q100 has an SHFA1 amp (should be an SHFA2 but they are similar) I've recapped this miserable beast and it still sounds terrible. It's the most convoluted Amp I've ever seen and hard to troubleshoot (for me at least) and it uses odd and expensive output tubes. I'm seriously thinking about replacing it with a Stereo 6V6 P-P amp from a Magnavox of the same vintage, it'd require a few mods to the Amp like changing it to a 5U4 rectifier (to retain the B+ shutoff) and adding a Preamp for the magnetic cartridge but I bet it'd sound terrific! |

Perhaps an E-120. Pretty close to your description. I have that model. I had it working great. It popped a button and developed a problem. I worked and worked on it. I got pissed off and put it back together and it has not played for about 2 years. LOL I really need to get back into it. Any tips out there?

Can you show pictures of your machine?

I currently have a Seeburg AY-100 and a Wurlitzer 2900. Both are working good with recapped amps. The Wurlitzer has an older 2700 amp with tubes so it sounds nice. The AY-100 is a hybrid. 4 transistors in the preamp. The Seeburg was a bitch to get the clutch unstuck. Worst one I've worked on. The third time I washed the mechanism, it finally came loose. All the Wurlitzer has needed was an amp recap and new belts. I also have a Seeburg LS-1 in pieces. It could be put back together to work again as the mechanism, amp, pricing unit, and control box have all been working within the last two years.
I've also had a Seeburg C, AMI C, and a Seeburg LS-2 which sounded like a million bucks. |

Did you use anything to clean up the speaker grille? Mine is discolored and I'm pondering how to handle it.

This one was actually quite nice which is one of the reasons why I bought it. I touched it up with steel wool but it wasn't bad at all. I've seen some pretty nasty ones.

I hope to one day obtain a quality jukebox. I have piles (and piles) of 50s-60s singles all on 45s and they'd be superb for that task......most are really well cared for too. Over the past year or so, my efforts have in fact been redirected towards 45s and not LPs.

I had a Seeburg model B when I was in high school late 60's it had 4 6v6 pp tube amp
huge chassis. Took a while and help of 2 friends to get it working what a beast. it did however sound better than a lot of newer Juke boxes . IT had a 15' field coil speaker . It was not cosmetically near as good as a restored one even back then .My favorites are the Seeburg B's and C's 100's of course and also the 222 a lot of the 100,s were really neat as are the G,F and 100R I`d like to have a few of the 100`s. I wish I had the 100b now in restored cond. I think the reason not many here is thatthey are large heavy and usually very expensive to repair /restore but they are neat toys if you have money and space for them . oh and either no wife or a separate out building for them. nice collection there J.C. cool links too Last edited by tubetwister; 09-13-2011 at 04:18 PM. |

I would like to find something cheap that it is semi-running so my 90 year old grandmother can enjoy independently. Even late model AMI-Rowe and Rockolas OK. Don't have to be mint condition. I can do most repairs on one if need be.
