[Jukebox-list] Seeburg SS-160 lid tweaked and other questions

[Jay Hennigan]

Just looked at a neighbor's SS160 yesterday.  The machine needs the 
usual going-over that one would expect for a Seeburg that has been 
neglected for a long time.

One odd thing.  The main lid containing the title strips, etc. is 
somehow out of true.  When you attempt to close it, the bottom corners 
of the title strip holders strike the front escutcheon holding the 
selection buttons, as if the lid assembly is too long.  You can get it 
closed with some persuasion, but then there is a triangular gap at the 
back upright portion where the black fluted speaker grille assembly 
abuts the upright wood sides of the juke.

It looks like the lid assembly has been bent at an obtuse angle where it 
meets the back/bottom corner of the frame.  But, the material there 
looks like a casting and it isn't distorted or cracked.  The guy has a 
manual on order but I can't see how this could have happened without 
some rather obvious damage, and there isn't any.  It just doesn't fit 
right.  Any suggestions?  Does this come apart and is the angle 
adjustable?  Removing it as an assembly doesn't look like a lot of fun, 
and I don't want to leave it as is because I can guarantee the title 
strip holders will be damaged shortly if it stays this way.

Also, the top animation motor was disconnected long ago, as it and/or 
the gearbox is noisy and stubborn.  Are replacements available or can 
this one be serviced?
