    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.
  
--"Solid State", Tormat based--
  
* Tormat based means the D-cell trick applies to this machine?
   
  --yes, but "D cell" must be "inverted" in respect to tube type systems--

* 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?
   
  --yes, but once again "Solid State"--

* 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...)
   
  ---Geared at 33, autospeed needed for 45's--

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

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.
   
  -- Trouble Shooting Guide, and if you wish, my "Seeburg Mech. Guide"---

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
