I have a USC-2 that I have torn down, cleaned, painted, put back together, and adjusted. The 200 sides select a record, play, then move to the next selection without issue. Any 100 side makes the first selection, plays, puts the record back and as it shifts to scan it sits there hopping. I've taken the clutch apart and inspected for any wear issues but nothing looks out of spec on the sprocket. I've gone through the clutch adjustments so many times that I think I can do them in the dark. If I reach my hand in between the mech and the rack and apply downward pressure on the clutch shifting lever it will jump in to scan and continue on. I can also pull back on the clutch lever where it hits 2m1 and it get it to work. I attached a link to a video but the site doesn't like where I have it hosted. New link to Seeburg Facebook group seems to work. Stephen www.facebook.com/stephen.carter.77/videos/10222155361058852/ |

Hi Stephen,
That's a common "Seeburg problem", due strictly to lack of proper oil ! My guess is that either the clutch member is worn out now, or the larger of the two clutch block pins is loose in the yoke. Do you have a copy of my "Seeburg Mechanism Guide" ? It's covered in there-- worst case, the pinion drive pin has been damaged. Ron Rich

Ron,
Yes I have the guide and have gone over the troubleshooting steps from that. What would make it only an issue on the B side?

Hi Stephen,
The clutch member has "two sides". When not properly oiled, the clutch yoke tends not to fall all the way down on the inside of the record play, due to friction--thus causing that problem. Ron Rich

Thanks Ron. I see the two sides of it now. Here is what I think is the problem, identified with Rob's help. I'm assuming then that the pin on the sprocket is what caused the damage which would mean that the sprocket side is A and the Worm side is B in relation to the direction of the wear or is it just the left and right side of the pin in question that relates to A & B record sides? I'm swapping the clutch out and hopefully that does the trick. ![]()  Stephen |

Okay, that probably only makes any sense in my head. I guess my question, purely for understanding, would be this. If I fliiped the clutch member 180 degrees, would the problem be on the opposite record side?

Hi Steve,
Yep-- but you can not "flip" the clutch member-- did you also check the clutch block holding pin, as per my guide-- ? Why don't you just purchase a new member from me and change it ? Ron Rich

Thanks for the help. I saw that the clutch couldn't be flipped but that helps me understand the problem area. I pulled a spare clutch off the shelf and now all is well. I should get a spare from you though as well as an actuator. So far I've only broke one but I know it will happen again. I need to get a 3d printer.

Hi Stephen,
I don't have any actuator's left to sell -- But you can avoid busting them, if you read the Seeburg Mechanism Guide you purchased from me-- and you can also find out what to do, if you don't follow the instructions in the guide, to fix it ! You PAID for it (thanks, again) so READ it ! LOL Ron Rich
