Great set of videos. I pulled a Seeburg 222 jukebox out of parents old house. I wish I had your electronic troubleshooting skills. I plugged it in and it scanned twice and never picked out a record. Cleaned some of the switches but still no play. Any ideas?
Thanks! Here is something I found useful along with the service manual. www.flippers.com/Seeburg-trblshoot.html go down to about page five, until you see the title "Jukebox Trouble Shooting" and check that out. These things are so complex in everything they do because they did everything analog with switches, solenoids and mechanical devices. It was before the days of digital electronics and transistors etc. Hope this helps you in someway. I spent many hours searching reading and looking at the schematics in the service manual to understand the little I figured out. Luckily it was enough to get it working. Be careful as it has it has voltages around 400V in it and can kill you if you are not using caution all the time. I recommend using an isolation transformer to power it for safety. Good Luck! RJ
So I was going through it and noticed on the format selector contact block there was a couple wires that were soldered to the pins and frog arms. I tried looking for something in manual and found nothing. You happen to have a pic of where these little wires connect to. Thank you
Any pic I have is a frame from the videos on the repair. But this might help : 1 - Look at page 2468B of your service manual. on the schematic locate A656 which in in the schematic as a dashed lined box 3/4 way down slightly to the left of center (next to the reversing switch). the top section is that block and shows the wires. the two middle ones are grounds. The left and right are for the different sides of the record and which is connected is based on the reversing switch. Scanning one way connects one side scanning the other way does the other side. Also this video might helps as he catches a shot of the wires on the block in it at time index 6:50. th-cam.com/video/r1hM57F9MJY/w-d-xo.html Hope this helps. RJ
Thank you so much RJ. Excited to see if this is the problem
Your welcome.

@@LynxElectronicsLab Thank you. Got the manual yesterday in the mail.
Great! Have fun.

I meant to say wires missing in the previous comment. Sorry
