[Jukebox-list] wurlitzer 2310 seeburg lp480

[dirksenj at bellsouth.net]

I generally avoid the mid 60's Seeburgs because I am not crazy about the 
console styling. And I agree with John - the autospeed is a pain. I'm no 
expert, but here's my thoughts - I've never had a speed issue with any 
Seeburg B-DS. But every LPC model I've worked on had speed issues, even 
though the autospeed units had been rebuilt. On one occasion, I did change 
out the gear set and I personally thought this was the better solution. If 
you are tearing down the mech anyway, it's not so bad to go ahead and change 
out the gears.
