[Jukebox-list] Seeburg m100b

[Thomas Moran]

Hi Ron,
Thanks for all your info.  I don't think they have the key to the  
machine, so I may have to drill out the lock to remove the record  
mech.  I think I may bubblewrap and possibly strap it upright in a  
pickup, I'll see how everything goes when I get there.  Also, I would  
definitely like your Mechanism Guide and I haven't purchased a manual  
yet.  Where might I purchase those, through you or another company?  I  
believe I saw your book advertised on a juke site, but forgot which.
Thanks,
Tom.
