Seeburg Disco Jukebox SMC1 1979 Video Tour

Bought this Seeburg SMC1 Disco Jukebox last week for $150. Of course it did not work for many years. You buy a juke not knowing what it will take to recondition to good working condition. That's why people sell a jukebox. It stops working and not many jukebox repair people left in business. This Seeburg was built 03/06/1979 and looks original which means it needs TLC and some repairs. I shot this video as a "tour" of my SMC1 Disco Jukebox so if you are not familiar with this specific juke box you will learn basics - how it opens up and plays. I show the insides including the 160 Select-o-Matic Mechanism, SHP3 Amplifier, PCC Control Center, MCU1 Computer, Lighting, etc. Seeburg Jukeboxes are an interesting combination of Electronics, Mechanical Parts, Visuals and of course Music. This Video is NOT made for a SMC1 Disco 'Berg expert. First inspection showed all fuses are good. All parts are there. The box and glass are great. The only visible signs of damage were that someone left 3 old C Cell batteries in the MCU1. One battery corroded, the acid dripped down on the PCC, the ballast, the volume control and wiring below. Nasty clean up with baking soda water to neutralize. Cleaned all the contacts with good contact cleaner & old title strips. Since this one had the motor cover on, it really was cleaner than expected. Just had not been lubricated in forever. Pulled the Mech out - cleaned and oiled to get it playing like it is in the video however a couple internal shafts are still gummed up with 30 years of varnish so the reject / safety is sticking. Need to pull the clutch and degrease everything. The sound is excellent so the amp is good. However, the volume control contacts need cleaning badly. The stylus is good and the tracking looks fine. So I own a great looking Seeburg Disco SMC1 which will not select a record. To get it working I need to purchase a $270 Gen 2 MCU computer board from Ron Rich to "replace" the bad MCU1 and there is no "fix". Then I will be able to see what else needs repairing after the computer works again. Oh, BTW - If you own this Jukebox and want to keep it running, you need to purchase a number of Manuals which are not cheap: The original Seeburg SMC1 service manual from Victory Glass. Also Ron Rich's Seeburg Mech Guide. Also Tony Miller's SHP Amp Guide.
