SS160 Mech Cleaning

[strosk]

Has anyone read the "THE JOHN D. RUTOSKEY METHOD OF SEEBURG MECH CLEANING"?  Basically, it involves liberally spraying the whole thing down with scrubbing bubbles and degreaser, then using high pressure water to rinse.

Thoroughly cleaning the mech is one of my next projects and just wanted to get opinions on this method or others before proceding.

I basically do the same thing--I detail how I have successfully done thousands of them, in my "Seeburg Mechanism Guide" ( if you wish to purchase it, contact me at : [e-mail] ) Ron Rich

I have your Seeburg Mechanism Guide, I just need to find where I put it. I shall find it and read your method.

I can't help you there--!! lol -- (thanks for the purchase !) Ron Rich

Spent some time last night looking for your book. No luck yet, but I did find my service manual, so some good came out of searching!  By the way, we were talking about tone arm adjustment in another thread and I did find the page in the service manual regarding that.  After a slight adjustment to the left side bushing my needle gets a good brush after left side play, whereas brush was totally missing it before.  I used the procedure pictured.

Ain't it nice when the reference material works! O'course, if one can't find it, one can't read it, so I guess it's useless ?

I'll find it eventually. This is the classic example of putting something in a safe place where you can find it later.... well, you know the rest! I'm on a mission now

Yep-- I understand-- the one that "getz me" is when my screwdriver just dis-appears, and I have not stood up, or moved from my workbench !
