I have a couple of these and they are probably my favorite jukebox of the 1950s.  This may be the best original I have ever ran a crossed.  After only a few hours using luck and Ron Rich's Seeburg Mechanism Guide, I got everything to work.  Which is pretty amazing because I am not that handy.  This one will probably stay at my office until I do a complete restoration on it.  Right now, I have my Seeburg 100B that I restored in my basement malt shop but I think I like the C a little better.  I will check back in about a year from now when I get it done.

Wow, that is nice. Why would you need to restore it? Looks great as is.

Very Nice Brian ! ! !
How is Ron Rich's Seeburg Manual?  I haven't purchased one yet but it is on my to-do-list...

Thanks for the kind words. I know people like "originals" but I think that the Seeburgs look amazing when they are done right.  I am getting better at the vanerring  process.  I wish I was a better carpenter. Is there anyone on the board that is a carpenter by trade and can do my cabinet ?  I have already bought the tiger oak vaneer that I plan on using

If not I will have another go at it. I have done 3 and have been using an iron on oak kit. I would like to upgrade the cabinet. I get some bubbling after 5or 6 years and I want this one to be special

Jim, Ron is the worlds best Seeburg guy. He has helped me on many projects and I was more than happy to purchase his mech guide  It is easy to read and practical. I recommend buying it if you are a Seeburg fan
