[Jukebox-list] Seeburg SS160: Red Tone Arm

[Ron Rich]

John, 
   The red painted tone arm as used in the SS-160, and some LS-1 models, had a defect that allowed the damping fluid to leak out. When this happens, the tone arm / needle bounces hard against the record at needle set down, causing the needle support to break. Later  tone arms were painted a "green color", made differently, and tend to retain the fluid much better--although, I have seen some of these fail also (and I  can repair the new style, as well as all the older styles, except for the red SS-160 type).

  Hey, Everyone-
So what's the scoop with the RED tone arm in my '66 Seeburg? This needs to be replaced? What difference does the color make? The red CARTRIDGES I've heard bad stuff about but is there something to look out for on a red tone arm?
