Seeburg 201 Scanning issue

[dannyz]

Hello everyone and especially to those Seeburg experts....to which I am not one....but working on getting better at solving my own problems when they come up...but I need some help with this one. 

First, the unit is on free play and has worked good for at least 15 to 20 years.

When I make ANY selection, it goes to A1 and plays A1, then A2, A3, A4, A5, A6, A7, A8, A9, & A0 then does the double scan and shuts off. 

If anyone has any experience with these units and can give me some assistance that would be greatly appreciated.

I am pretty handy with the units and have a good electronics background, but I just don't know where to go with this unit.

If you want to call, please do, my number is xxx-xxx-xxxx (See forum rule #5, Forum rules)

Thanks, 

Danny

So if you select for instance K9, it will only play A1 though A0? Will it then play K9?

That sounds like a very interesting problem! Do you know how the free play has been done?

possible near over current write in [0a2s not pulling down the voltage ]

possible stray currents [ a ground wire from the plate between the tormat contacts and the control chassis worked for me]

[do this as a test only see next]

It would be very remiss not to point out that by running that ground wire, you are linking out the fuse - caveat emptor indeed!

Probably the same result would be achieved by cleaning up the tormat plug/socket, Ron wrote a "sticky" on that.
