Hi. just signed up. I purchased this used unit from a dealer 20 - 30 years ago at Pico Blvd in downtown Los Angeles. Back then portion of that street had quite a few outfit selling and servicing jukeboxes and pinball machines.
The unit worked very well until the 10 years ago... . Now I know it requires frequent lubrication but I never performed even once. That could be it.
I joined some forum 20 - 30 years ago, and someone from Souther California back then said he had never seen one and would like some photos. I cannot find my old emails. It could be Ron
Sad to learn after joinning this forum Ron has passed. Another jukebox guru put on his website that this unit was a rear Seeburg. That was Mr. Tony Miller who also passed. I hope to revive the unit before I pass also....
Here's a link to Tony Miller's article about the 100-79M , aka SMC 1 jr (DaVinci) for anyone that is interested.

I will also put a thread later on looking for tips how to start troubleshooting. Yes, I already read many threads on troubleshooting, including Ron's book, but still none specific to the symptoms I am seeing and where to start.
Great forum and my prayers that this forum will continue.
PS Sorry do not know how to upload photo of my unit. When i click on the insert image, it asks for entering a URL. My photos are simply jpg files contained in my harddrive.. It looks exactly as pictured in the Tony Miller article.
