Seeburg LPC 480 - 10th record not playing at right speed

[pluto]

Hello all,

I have a strange problem with a Seeburg LPC 480
Everything is working fine but at the 10th song it starts playing too slow. 
after a shutdown for 20 -30 minutes it again plays 9 songs and the 10th is again too slow.

So it is always that 10th song.

What could be the problem ? Overheating ? But what should be overheated ? 

I can't find anything...

Not a strange problem for the LPC series.

It's probably that big 4 MFD capacitor in the auto speed unit.

Hi thnx for the quick reply.

How can I check this to be absolutly sure ?

[jukeboxmarty]

I'm not sue there's an absolute way to make that determination; but if the can looks "puffy", it's bad.

I would change that capacitor anyway, it's a common point of failure.

Guyz,
Sure there's a way to determine that-- easy, just touch your hand to that cap-- if your skin comes off, you've proven that cap is leaking ! You could also go to the electronics store, purchase a can of freeze spray, and squirt it onto both sides of the cap when it stops, If it then speeds up--proven ('course, the can of freeze spray will cost more then a new cap)---! Other things will cause that symptom, but as Marty stated--"it's --common--" Ron Rich

Yes it is burning skin on the 10th song

What should i be looking for too replace it with ? 
Living in belgium.

A quick search on eBay turned this up:

By the way, don't lick the old one; it contains high levels of PCB's. Nasty stuff.

Quit using it before it starts to leak ! You should be able to get one from Piet, (jukebox revival) locally--check above in our FAQ's list of suppliers ! Ron Rich
