[Jukebox-list] Seeburg m100b

[jugert at msn.com]

Tom,
I learn the best from my mistakes and I will never lay another juke on its back unless I remove the mech.  It only takes a few minutes.  One thing I just wanted to add is when you are ready to slide the mech from the backside make sure you don't damage/break the reversing switch on the front of the mech assy.  The mech will drop after you clear the mounting sliders and if not careful the reverse switch will snap.  Just have a good grip on it and don't let it drop until this switch is clear.   I think everyone on the list that has changed out this switch will agree that they are a bugger to change out. 
 
Good luck on your B
 
Don
