Seeburg B Motor Fuse

[juke46]

I gave the Nephew a Seeburg B several years ago.  He uses it is his home office (CPA) guy to entertain his clients.  I suppose it got a good work out during tax season!  It has performed well but it now takes out the motor fuse (3 Amp Fast Acting) when a selection is made.  I did not have Ron's Seeburg manual with me so I was handicapped.  I did remember that circuit goes though the reversing switch.  I checked that and it looked OK.  I changed the fuse to a 3 amp slo-blow and it is holding but I need to do more.  I am never comfortable with increasing fusing amperage, in any way, to correct (hide) another problem, way too dangerous.  I am thinking of changing the motor condenser.  I have never changed one of those condensers.  Maybe I should?

Hi Juke 46,
Read the FAQ on "over-center switches". If not already done--delete C-2 from the motor terminal. Motor cap is OK ! Ron Rich

Ron,
Thank You! Got the C-2 out of there already, a couple of months ago! I read through your "over-center switch" information. I had never read it and kind of lived in terror on just how to adjust switches like the reversing switch! I appreciate your assistance and this website! Thanks!
