[Jukebox-list] AMI model K with 'Seeburg Conversion' (???)

[Jens Hultgren]

Service bulletin #124 dated June 26, 1956

Subject: H-1968 conversion kit for modifying the AMI G-200 phonograph to
operate with Seeburg Wall Boxes.

This is to make the jukebox compatible with 3W1 and 3WA wallboxes.

H-1909 pulse generator marked Seeburg Conversion
F-2955 Switch assembly
F-2196 electrlytic capacitor
S-106K carbon resistor 1/2 watt
F-2591 Instruction sheet (this was later updated to F2591-A as per service
bulletin #131)

So the system has been changed quite a bit. I would recommend getting an
original pulse converter and taking out the added components. Easiest would
be to compare side by side with a non-modified machine.

But your setup may be different, since the AMI K120 has another selection
system. There is no info on this in the Service Bulletins what I can see.
What are the markings on the pulse generator?

I think I have some "Seeburg conversion" marked parts on the shelves.
