Title: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: Marvin on October 09, 2011, 11:04:07 pm (http://i123.photobucket.com/albums/o311/mmsiano/IMG_0868.jpg)
I picked this up today from craigslist. Guy said he brought it down from Michigan with him and just wanted it gone. He couldn't get it to work and had no idea what it was going to take to get it working. He couldn't get it to select records. I got it home and cleaned some contacts and got it semi working. It won't play all the time. Searching around, it seems to be a popular model. What's the going price for one in unrestored condition?

Title: Re: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: Marvin on October 10, 2011, 12:19:47 am I guess I timed it just right. Picked it up for 300.00
Title: Re: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: cokecolaman on October 10, 2011, 12:42:01 am Nice! Any jukebox around me like this is minimum $2500 and they usually want $3500- $7500... :glare:
Title: Re: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: johnnyselman on October 10, 2011, 06:33:52 am Thye R is a pretty box. It uses a pin bank system to make slections. Alot of times its just the pins are sticky. You can romove the back door then ther access cover above it to get the the pinbank. With cedits on the machine you can manually slide one or more of the pins to see if it starts the mech and picks up a record. Probably should check the amp and power supply to see if they have been recaped yet.
I have been looking for a Project R or V200 so if you decide to sell let me know. ,johnny Title: Re: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: Eric on October 10, 2011, 06:49:14 am Great looking juke!.. You stole it!!...
Title: Re: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: Kilroy on October 10, 2011, 07:05:55 am Awesome. I've never seen an unrestored R for less than 1500.
Title: Re: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: Marvin on October 10, 2011, 08:44:26 am Not being a jukebox person, I wasn't sure of what to do. Figured for that kind of money it was an ok deal and pulled the plug. Glad to see I did OK.
Not sure what my plans are for it yet. I like it, just don't know if I need any more restoration projects now. I have to many and not enough time. If I decide to sell it I'll post it here first.

Title: Re: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: SIGNGUY on October 10, 2011, 12:46:15 pm The R wasn't stereo yet, but i believe it was the first juke to have 5 speakers. Maybe that was what I was thinking.. it has those two on the sides, guess I thought maybe stereo? Title: Re: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: Kilroy on October 10, 2011, 12:46:26 pm The R came out in '54, the 222, Seeburgs first stero cam e out in 1959.
The mech cover is reppopped, and show up on Ebay. i ould suggest ordering the manuals from victory Glass (victoryglass.com) Title: Re: Buy of the day Seeburg HF100R Post by: Marvin on October 10, 2011, 03:38:11 pm Thanks. I'll be on the lookout for a mech cover. I'm planning on ordering the manuals shortly.

I see these models in there shop every time I stop by to say hello.
