Thanks for the advise.  I am replacing the run start solenoid because of my cold start problem.  That should fix the problem.  I am using the Seeburg B everyday.  The more it plays, the less problems I have with the pin bank.  I have over 100 plays without a failure.  I may not need to clean the pinbank.  As for the Seeburg C, I am doing a complete grade one on it.  I hope to have it done on July 1st. Does anyone have advise on a vaneer kit.  Should I do it myself or buy one?  If you have ever vaneered a Seeburg C, I would apreciate any pointers you may have.

Regarding oiling of mechanisms and turntable motors what oil is the best to use for the job to prevent the "waxy" build-up that will accumulate over time?  I have a Wurlitzer Americana 3110 and don't want to be gumming it up using incorrect oils such as the 3 in 1 brand. '>

The trick is NOT to oil it too often. Providing the machine is used regularily you don't need to
covering everything in oil.

Sewing Machine oil I am told is the best. 3 In 1 according to those that know is the work of the devil.

Brian B&C,

I found a problem on my M100B in the selection unit, the selection solenoid doesn't have enough power to pull back and release the keys.  I took the unit apart and found a broken wire (note red circle in pic) and cannot determine where this should be routed.  Any suggestions?  It's the 3rd terminal wire on the terminal strip next to the solenoid.  I tested the solenoid and it works fine with 110.  

Many thanks- and appologies to everyone since I know this is a soda machine site.   3 soda machines and 1 juke, soda machines are much easier to fix...

Thanks-David

Duchon:

I pulled the pin bank off my Seeburg hf R.  It looks the same as my B.  I will take a digital picture of the inside so we can tell whenre that wire goes.  I should have it for you today.

There's nothing wrong with 3 in 1 as long as you use the SAE 20 Electric Motor Oil. It's the multi-purpose oil that causes all of the problems. Kinda like Lubriplate!
