Seeburg R select reciever issues

[bc157]

When crediting up and making the first song selection, there was a loud clicking sound from my R.  I was still able to get all 5 songs selected.  Now, when I credit up, I can make one selection but there is a 1 minute lag or longer before the buttons allow for a second selection and no loud clicking noise.   I have not recapped the select receiver and am wondering why it freezes up.  Any ideas would be appreciated.  I took 15 years off playing with my Seeburg 100s so I have forgotten a ton.

Sticky cancel solenoid in the CCU? Are the pushbuttons taking a minute to release after a selection or are they releasing and then taking a minute to allow another selection?

You are correct Norman. Do you have picture of the cancel solenoid that I need to replace?

[bc157]

Sorry Norman, the pushbuttons are releasing, then it takes a while to allow for another selection. I hear a click after a minute or so and then I can make another selection

I didn't mean replace it - clean it, it's probably sticky!

the cancel solenoid plunger moves freely. Is it possible that I need to replace it?

[bc157]

Could it be the credit solenoid? It takes about 90 seconds for the new song to be energized for selection Very confusing

Contacts then in that unit, give them a clean, cancel solenoid contacts and timing relay. There's a sticky on contact cleaning should you need to refer to it.

Hi Norm, I just changed out the electrical selector on the select receiver and the problem still exists. Could the issue be in the keyboard selector?

[jukenorman]

The starting switches and hold switches on the keyboard selector (also called alectrical selector by Seeburg) as well as the latch solenoid form part of this circuit so yes, I suppose it would be possible that they might be the cause!
