I have an "Entertainer" juke that won't pickup a record. I listed it on ebay 3 times, and the first 2 some zero feedback jerk bought it and never contacted me.
The last time, I did paypal immediate payment required and that wen't nowhere.
Anyway, some good fellow emailed me during the last auction to tell me that there might be 2 wires disconnected on my tormat unit that is causing my problem.
I took two screws off the front of the tormat, cut the warranty tape ;D, and the cover won't come off.
Are there any other places to check? Looking into my crystal ball, searching for all knowing Ken.
Thanks Jacktucky

Hi
I had this problem on a Seeburg jukebox,it is a very common fault,an ex Seeburg engineer told me the fix.
If you look at the tormat unit under the record rack you will see a thick phono type cable
follow this cable to where it meets the mechanism control panel
you will find it conects via an RCA/phono plug
What happens is you get slight corrosion on this plug and socket (especially if the jukebox has been kept in a damp environment)
All you need to do is clean the plug up and perhaps squeeze it a bit to make sure of good contact.
If this doesn't fix it there is a good fault finding link below

That did it. That cable is all messed up. If I fool around, I can get it to pickup the right record, move it again, it picks up every record.
cool, looks like if I just fix that cable, I'll be OK.
THANKS

Tony Miller's SEEBURG website has excellent troubleshooting information on this system since he invented it!
