Title: 1959 Seeburg 222 jukebox Post by: magcag01 on February 02, 2014, 02:02:16 pm Can anyone give me any info on 1959 Seeburg 222's? Are they that much different than the earlier Seeburg year models from
a service point of view? First year for "stereo" jukebox. Title: Re: 1959 Seeburg 222 jukebox Post by: Kilroy on February 02, 2014, 03:39:30 pm The 22 was the first Stereo Jukebox. They still used vacuum tube amps.
Parts are readily accessible, as chrome cleaner. It has a lot and i mean a lot of chrome. Title: Re: 1959 Seeburg 222 jukebox Post by: TomFromJersey on February 03, 2014, 09:21:09 pm The amps and selector units are very expensive to rebuild.

look at it this week. he says it plays/wprks very well. Title: Re: 1959 Seeburg 222 jukebox Post by: Kilroy on February 04, 2014, 11:37:52 am 2500 is a darn good price. Good luck.

to see it Friday. Is there any other thing I should look for when he fires it up? Also,to transport it is there anything inside that should be secured. He has all the keys for the machine also. Thanks again. Title: Re: 1959 Seeburg 222 jukebox Post by: Kilroy on February 04, 2014, 09:53:00 pm take the records out. I remove the vacuum tubes. There are 4 bolts that will hold down themech during transport. Remember, it's a lot of glass - bring extra moving blankets
Title: Re: 1959 Seeburg 222 jukebox Post by: magcag01 on February 08, 2014, 06:20:14 pm I went and looked at the Seeburg 222and ended up buying it. It works well, doesn't miss a step. Chrome is not the
greatest, but not bad by any means. Sides will have to be verneered , not a problem. It is filled with records, some of which do not sound that good. He also gave us an about additional 100 records, and a 45 player to check them out on for quality before putting them in juke box. He said amp was rebuilt and new needle a couple of years ago. I am having problems sizing pics. I'll try again tomorrow to get some on here. The good thing is, the wife LOVES the machine also, always a plus. Thanks guys again for your input. Title: Re: 1959 Seeburg 222 jukebox Post by: magcag01 on February 08, 2014, 06:43:23 pm Heres a pic. Ok, when I pick the picture, it is rotated correctly, when I attach it, it stays this way. Frustrating. By the way,that
decal you see across the front glass was made by previous owner. He had it on display in his hot dog stand. It describes the machine. I'll probably remove it in near future. Title: Re: 1959 Seeburg 222 jukebox Post by: bcharlton on February 09, 2014, 12:21:10 pm Congrats. How is the sound quality?
Title: Re: 1959 Seeburg 222 jukebox Post by: magcag01 on February 09, 2014, 01:47:11 pm Some records sound better than others by far, but as far as overall sound, I really don't know what these sounded like
originally. It kind of sounds sometimes like a speaker is going. Kind of a muffled sound. I think I may have a local jukebox guy come out and check it out. He goes to Chicagland Coin Op show.

I love chrome... And they are full of it. I have a few in my basement. The 222 sounds the best out of the 3 I have. Make sure u have a good needle.. U can buy record sets from victory glass. Shane. |
