[Jukebox-list] Seeburg PFEA1U

[Steve Wahl]

Hi, all,

My parents have some friends that have a Seeburg PFEA1U they inherited
with a house.  It's not functioning in some way (I haven't got a clear
description yet), and they're asking me for advice, or, who knows,
they might want to get rid of it.  :-)

My experience consists of an AMI F-120 and a Wurlitzer 2410, plus
reading always jukin' and this list for a few years.  (I.e. I've been
leachin' off the rest o' you!)  No true seeburg experience, you might
note.

Would anyone be willing to describe to me what "genre" of Seeburg this
jukebox is?  The sort of questions I'm looking to answer:
 
  * Tormat based?  I'd guess yes because my understanding is
    everything 50's - 70's used a tormat except early 50's 100 select
    mechanisms which had the mechanical pin bank.

  * Tormat based means the D-cell trick applies to this machine?

  * I'm guessing it pre-dates any of the grey/black/red boxes, using
    more or less the same selection system as the 50's tormat
    seeburgs?

  * Autospeed: does this box have the autospeed unit
    (yes/no/optional)?  Is this the model that was geared for 33 and
    used the autospeed unit to get 45?  (Don't think so, but CRS...)

  * How much of the recent conversation about seeburg needles applies
    here?

A lot of the above info might be used to select which books (in
addition to the service manual) are applicable, so direct suggestion
of applicable books is also quite welcome.

And as an alternative, these people are in north Wisconsin, so if you
or someone you know fixes Seeburgs in that area, I could also pass on
names.

Thanks in advance,

--> Steve
