[Jukebox-list] Seeburg DS160 Won't play or eject

[Stacy J Collins]

Good afternoon,
I have a Seeburg DS160 that allowed me to pick a selection scanned to the
selection, loaded the record and then stopped. The power is still on the
mechanism still has the record clamped but the motor will not turn and
the reject button in back doesn't seem to work properly. I press it and I
hear a click from up by the mechanism, but not the powerful click I'm
used to hearing nor does the record eject. There were some peculiar
symptoms leading up to this as well. For instance, when first powered on
the mechanism took a long time (about 20 seconds) to move and started off
very slowly before it got up to its regular scanning speed. In addition,
when a record played (the first selection) it would play very slowly, not
at 45 RPM speed, but would after a couple minutes eventually work its way
up to regular play speed. Right now it's stuck. I can power up the
jukebox and the mechanism still has the same record pulled out and won't
play or eject. Has anyone had this problem before? Any suggestions on
what to look for would be helpful. I have a troubleshooting manual on the
way, am very mechanically inclined and I have an analog and DVOM - just
not sure where to start.
