New find yesterday Seeburg 100bl

[bcharlton]

Found another one.  I am putting off the restoration on my 2 other Cs to do this B.  I already have a restored C in my basement malt shop.  It actualy works on a nickel.  I have never boguht a Seeburg in which everything worked.  It should be pretty easy.

I will keep you posted on the restoration process.  I took out the guts and tested them on my work bench.

I actually like the "B's" better than the "C's."

Years ago I wanted a "C."  Ten years later I wanted an "A" or a "B."  Now I'm partial to a "W" or a "KD200."  In reality, any of them would be fine.

Nice looking "B". Good luck with your restoration!

[SIGNGUY]

I like all of those Seaburgs from that era... W,G,B, R's... all very cool.
I have a G that I love.. but would like an R someday...
Good luck on the resto....can't wait to see it finished

I just gave one away that had wood damage.

[BrianB]

Gave away what? A "B"? Was it otherwise complete?

[Kilroy]

And spesking from experience,  a cabinet can be rebuilt.

You gave away a seeburg B?  I thought I stole it for $300 bucks.  Any thoughts regarding veneer?  I have used a pre glued kits in the past but I think I would like to try a better solution.  They look okay but I know I can do better.

Let me know.

Brian,

I used paper backed veneer for my M100B and it turned out pretty good. Only a few special tools required and noe of them cost more than $20 a peice. I personally wouldn't laminate it or paint it. They just look so much better with wood!

The original Zebrawood finish can be replicated using Zebrawood veneer if you like. The original finish on "B's" was actually an adhesive backed decal of sorts. If you've ever sanded one down you know exactly what I'm talking about. Here's a picture os what mine looked like before and after.
