Hey gang,
Figured id finally put some pictures up of my Seeburg that i converted to a mp3 jukebox after 3 years and too much money trying to get it to work and play records again. Anyway, take a look, it sounds great, and I'm going to do a little more art wise for behind the LCD monitor to make it look something like an earlier seeburg LPC that had a "discotheque" thing on the back wall. Anyway, let me know what you think!

The bottom picture is a remap of the original buttons mapped into the computer.

Are you using the original Seeburg amplifier? If so, did you have new capacitors installed in it? If not using the original amp, what is being used?
What happened to the original record mechanism? Was it missing when you got the machine? If it was there I hope you didn't trash it as there are always people on the jukebox newsgroups/forums looking for record mechs.

You mean i shouldnt have thrown it all into a dumpster? ;)
Well, it was a while back, but i did have it running through the original amp. But, that lasted all of 5 days until something went in it. Then i parted out everything but the button assembly, the coin mech, the original speakers. The entire record assembly (track, motor, mech; it all comes out in one piece anyway.) was parted out bit by bit to someone local who answered an ad i ran in a local free magazine.
For the first 7 or 8 years i had it, it worked alright, then i went out of town. when i came home, my sister gave me some BS excuse why there was a broken elvis record wedged between the mech and the track. Ontop of some other things that kept going wrong with it in the last year it was a complete lpc-1, i figured id try and fix everything and get it up to par. 2, almost 3 years of working on it, plus a ton of headaches, i scrapped the vintage aspect of it and went for something that would work a bit better for me here in college. Right now, everything is wired into a 300 watt shelf system. the onboard amp built into that does enough damage to shake the floor for the people above me, so im happy. But thanks for the interest!
