I have finally found my Happy Days Jukebox. It is the last piece I needed for my basemant diner/malt shop. I know nothing about restoring jukeboxes but I have already taken it apart. I have all the parts except the animation motor.The amination motors turn the color wheels that are inside the pilisters. Any help would be apreciated. Also, I will be veneering it and I could use some help with this as well. It selects but makes no sound. I will be re-capping the amp this week. Does anyone know how to clean a pinbank? Also, sometime on a cold start up, I have to help the motor (with a little push) with the first selection. After that, it will select the correct records all day. Do I need to replace the brushes in the main motor? I am a little mory savy with the soda machines. I still am up for a little fun with a square top theme competition.
Thanks in advance for any help.

You might try oiling everything.

Markito, I picked this up for $350, plus it was local (1 hour away) so I didn't have shipping. It's complete, I don't think it's been used in 20 years so it's in need of an overhaul.
Thanks,
David

David -
I am about 80% done restoring my M100B. If you need any help, let me know. I have a ton of resources available. I'm currently finishing up my veneer work and then I get to put it all back together! I would highly recommend taking a boatload of photo's before taking anything apart. Also, you need to have a manual available to reference/troubleshoot.
Brian - Congrats on the "C"! That's awesome! I just got done cleaning my pinbank about three weeks ago and now it works like a champ. There's a video that's currently out by a guy named Mike Zuccaro. He's located out of San Diego and is a technical expert on Seeburg's. This video details the cleaning/maintenance of the: Slection Mechanism, Pinbank and Credit Cancel Unit (CCU). It's very well put together and if you follow it word for word, you'll have no problems.
I definitely wouldn't take it apart without help either from the video or a book. If you made the mistake of removing all of the contacts and pins improperly, you'll have one heck of a time getting it all back together properly.
With respects to your motor problem, your mech is dirty and needs to be removed and cleaned. If not, the mech will never run correctly and you run the risk of eventually burning out your motor. After 50+ years of constant or inconstant oiling without a cleaning, the gears and the clutch and all other parts of the selection mech get all gummy with old oil. If somebody somewhere along the line made the mistake of using WD-40 or regular old 3 in 1 oil to lube it with you will really have to clean the heck out of it. Regular 3 in 1 household oil contains naptha (wax). If used in motors or gears it will eventually gum up the works.
Also, while your in there doing all of that cleaning you should replace the motor coupler. It's the metal ended rubber piece that conects the mech motor to the mech itslef. It's main purpose is to function as the interface from motor to mech but also serves as a vibration isolation device. It stops all vibe from the motor from being transmitted to the mech that would cause audible noise and interference.
Here's some pic's of my mech, it shouldn't be that nasty yellow/brown color.

Here's some pic's of my Credit Cancel Unit and Pinbank. All of the paper cap's in my CCU were toast! The ends were blown out and wax was everywhere! The Pinbank photo's show just how dirty it can get.
