thanks for the reply Ron is there a separate fuse for those lights? or where should I look for the fuse? I'm going to be honest I'm a little overwelmed looking at the inside of this box it was my dads and the only thing i did when i was young was push the bottons and listen to music and thanks to this site i got some things figured out and this is all i got left

There is a 1/2 amp slow blow fuse soldered to the FRONT, of the mechanism ( which is mounted in the cabinet, backwards), under the cover. Ron Rich

P.S.--You REALLY should, READ the I & O manual, at least before attempting to find this fuse-- and if an early production phono, be sure the safety stops (and screws) good !

thanks downloaded the service manual I"ll read through it. Got 1 more question this thing sat for 10 years not being played it plays fine I want to clean the mechanism good years ago my dad had local service tech just take the mechanism out and spray it with a hose,don't know if I want to do that is there a better way?

[Ron Rich]

The "Service Manual" ain't gonna do you too much good, other then the schematic ! See our FAQs section for suppliers of "books".
As for "washing it with a hose"--I do it all the time-- no problem--You can see how I do it in my "Seeburg Mechanism Guide"-- if you wish to purchase it, contact me at: [e-mail] Ron Rich

the fuse looks good also cleaned the 3 contact fins under the bar on top of the mechanism still no luck

TJ,
"-- the fuse looks good" ? Fuses are not always good, even if "looking good". What size/type is it ?

I had an LS1 a while back and found someone had taken the fuse out and soldered in a piece of wire. I found a bare wire that would sometimes make contact with the mech base. I fixed the wire before replacing the fuse. Check the fuse with a meter to make sure it is good.

Good day,

it is a buss glass tube fuse 2.5 amp right under the cover in the front of the mechanism did a continuity check with volt meter tested all the fuse blocks that I seen there were 2 buss glass tube fuses on the back of the mechanism (front of the juke) on the bottom of the mechanism tested ok got an inspection camera to look for any hard to see fuses didn't see any others

[Ron Rich]

TJ,
It should NOT be a "2.5 amp" fuse --WAY, too big !!! and only one fuse, should be there ?? --see earlier post above ! Do you have the schematic--easy to trouble shoot with it !
