[Jukebox-list] tubes for Seeburg 147 Selector

[Ron Rich]

Jackie,
  You got it right--remove those tubes, as they are for wallbox use only.
  There were three "options" on those phono's. The least expensive one was not able to operate wallboxes at all, and used a "Solenoid Drum Unit" in place of the "selector". Mid price phono's used a Wired Selection Receiver, which allowed the use of wired wallboxes, and had only 1 2050 type tube.  You have the highest priced phono, with the Master (that's the "M" on your model number plate) Selection Receiver, which has a number of tubes that allow the use of a wired (2050 tube) and, or, a wireless type wallbox (2050 tube and the rest for the wireless type).

  Ron,
so what you are saying is the Selector does not need any of those tubes??? 
(without the wallbox)? So why are they there, did most units get hooked up 
to wallboxes? I also want to make sure I am speaking of the correct thing;
aux amp on left, amp in the middle and selection receiver on the right, all 
three sitting on the bottom of the floor? (looking from the back of the 
machine)

Also, I started tinkering with the machine early this morning and managed to 
get the front panel off where the selection buttons are. I know most of you 
could do this in 5 minutes but for me, 45min later, I had access to the 
contacts on the selections buttons. None of them would work, turned out all 
it needed were the contacts cleaned. (my favorite "woman" thing) After 
doing all 20 contacts, I realized there were contacts on the BACK of each 
selection also, so back in there and cleaned all the backs also. I am happy 
to report, all 20 selections slide smoothly in and out, making good contact 
on BOTH sides. It's the small things in life, I am having a great day!!
Jackie
