[Jukebox-list] Seeburg A Lift Arm Troubles

[Ron Rich]

Jim,
  I have been trying to rack my (feeble) brain---Can't really remember, and both of my "A" service manuals have "taken a walk". It seems to me that someone had this problem awhile back and there was a discussion on this list--I think the man's name was William Hill  (why do I remember that, and don't remember the solution, or where I could have put the manuals?). You might search the archives for that discussion--
  My thoughts are--is the arm lubricated well--is the mech going FULLY into the scan position(clutch adjustments) ? Seems to me that I have seen that problem associated with the record clamp and ramp adjustments--although I don't know why I have that feeling--
Let us know what you find, Ron Rich

  I'm working on my first ever Seeburg A (on 78's) that I picked up last week. Boy is this different from the B mech. Anyway, this is a clean working machine with one problem - the lift arm won't retract enough and just barely scrapes the records as it scans. I cannot adjust the eccentric screw any more to lower it enough. Last night I removed the lift arm and re-installed it one tooth off on the gear (thinking a previous owner may have installed it wrong), but then it retracted too far and bound up against the support. I tried to move the eccentric screw the opposite way to compensate, but it wouldn't raise it enough. I really don't want to add washers under the record rack, but that's all I can think of at the moment. Can anyone help? Thanks,

Jim
