Great tutorial and explanation of the credit unit, boy that one is in rough shape, doesn't look like that will be running any time soon. A trick I found worked quite well for cleaning the relays without taking them apart is using a thin piece of cardboard sprayed with contact cleaner, sliding it between the contacts.
Great video. Good information. Picked up by first Seeburg yesterday and have a lot of clicking when selecting. It was suggested I look at the credit unit.
Nice job fortyfiveplay! I've owned a B and C since 1989 and had an original Seeberg employee service then till 2006 when he has in his 80's. I heard heard he passed along a few years back. Now I've got to learn how to repair them. Cheers from Philadelphia.
Thank you! I’ve been struggling with the free play issue for a while. The ramp was bent. Bending it back solved it! The unit seems a little sticky and goes into a constant clunking mode every now and then. I suspect it needs to be cleaned. Do you have any suggestions for freeing it up? Thanks again! Great video!
Chris great info. I had no idea about bent ramp. Shot gun effect once in awhile, I have used contact cleaner but wife says it stinks too much, what’s a guy to do 🙀
@TwinMillMC LOL! Yeah, too much caf is NOT a good thing here. There is no asbestoes in the old wires in these. You find that stuff in old heaters, irons, etc, but I never saw any in jukes. Some antique radios used it under the chassis to protect the wood cabinets from burning- scarey stuff!
hahaha... I felt like you were speaking directly to me when you mentioned "patients" and throwing stuff across the room. I know for a fact that if I decided to attempt this type of repair I would first need to stay away from the Starbucks coffee for about 3 days prior - LOL... Do you ever get concerned about those old wires being wrapped in asbestos insulation when you do these repairs? Is there really any risk in tampering with them?
thank you for showing us this video about the seeburg jukebox coin unit, this was very interesting, there was a shoutcast station on last december that had seeburg jukebox on it, if anybody finds the new link for that station could you post it for me, i really liked that music,it was all 45s mostly instrumentals that was heard in grocery stores,thanks again for showing this video, i liked it,
I hate seebergs , all but the trashcans , I have always been the rockola man , and I think about the only one around here that knows anything about them , and I hate going to someones house , and fighting the spiders in the darkest corner of their house to try and work on one lol
@fortyfiveplayer it costs them , thats all I can say ! lol and whats funny , I can fix them , test them , even rebuild the amps , but I don't understand electronics , I just know how they work lol , that was my job as a kid , I worked on jukes and pinballs after school , self taught trial and error lol
Chris,
You're awesome and a fantastic instructor. Thanks for all the hours you put into educating us all!

I am an old EM pinball guy with my 1st jukebox, an AY-160 with the same pricing unit. Your video cleared quite a few things. Excellent.

Chris, Thank you for the informative videos. I have a very gunked up credit unit. Do you have suggestions for cleaning it? TIA
Thanks for posting! I have a 61 seeburg its a little bit different than that one but I am always up to learning this stuff.

@fortyfiveplayer are you going to replace those nasty wax capacitors in this? I really hope so, they look scary!

@towrecker Aww.... Seeburgs are the easiest for me! And as far as house calls? I don't do them- Used to, but no more.
Very interesting. I think I'm one of those all thumbs people who should leave things like that alone.
