Seeburg LPC-1 wont play

[@stevenh9954]

Replaced the 4 mfd cap in the autospeed unit and it works fine. Thanks for the tip Natte Scott.

hi rich, two things spring to mind, first suspect if you have it,is the autospeed control unit to play 45,s and 33,s- little lp,s [usually the big silver capacitor[actually it,s two caps in one, or the other caps,] you can buy recap kits on ebay, or the other thing that springs to mind is the motor run capacitor, also a big silver one, sitting on the top right of the carriage near the big vertical fiber gear,[ this is also two capacitors in one] one for the motor when going back and forth, and other one for play], also check i think it,s the top set of contacts which controls which one, are they clean and do the contacts change going into play. ps remember these are capacitors, they hold power and bite, even when power off, recommend earthing before playing with, [don,t worry you.ll only let them bite you once, ha ha ha ha] hope this helps cheers

Check the 20 uf/450 v. Or replace. Rwplace also the 2 transistors in the auto speed. 2SBB449 might be good.

The clutches in these have to be done in order - there are 4 of them if you redo yours with feeler gauges in the correct order that should solve your problem- and a very light oiling - there’s a video on KZbin that shows how to do the clutches on an lpc 1 - it took me three goes to do it right but once I did it played beautifuly again - best to take the whole mechanism out and do it on the bench if you can - it can be done in the machine but very hard to get at- all the best

[@MrKOOLGUY818]

Where's the link to that vid?

[@bst246]

You need to oil the clutch, with sae 20 oil . Sae 20 is the only oil that will work.

hi gnapui here, did you get this sorted, another thought and probably more relevent to ronnoe is to check your motor run cap as well, thats the big silver cap on top of motor, makes it run at one speed while scanning slightly different speed for playing record,

[@sobrut1]

just a thought but, try a record with a large hole in the center, then it should play at it,s normal speed,[the machine clamps the little hole and that tells it to play a little lp at 33 rpm, big hole play 45 rpm,], does that make any difference.this machine id geared to normally run at 33rpm, so suspect that it is the motor run capacitor

[@karimachtan229]

What do you do if it will not pick up a record?

[@jimmycarter9099]

2050 tubes

[@rondastellmacher8989]

Mine will take record a day puts it right back. Any suggestions?

[@stevenh9954]

Had my LPC-1 for a week and mine is doing the exact same thing.

[@fallenfirebird240]

Don't know where to start, but gotta start somewhere. I have a Seeburg AY160. It used to just scan and didnt select any records when you pushed the codes in, but now it does nothing. Where would be the best place to start looking? (I'm hoping there's just a fuse I can replace or maybe a tube). Of course, my main goal right now is getting it to do something when I punch in the code. Any advice?

[@favouritetree6286]

hi silver fox, did you get machine going, did you check all fuses, next thing is to try battery test google it, do buttons latch down when you press them

[@abbrasesame1851]

my Seeburg is having the same problem as well. Did you get it to work?

[@richardklamik709]

I need help with my Seeburg A4- 160 juke box. Start up and it will play the first song selected. After that will scan back-and-forth then will park. Wont play until shut off and r-started again. But just one selection. Anyone in south Wisconsin that can help me figure out what might be wrong ?

[@jimmycarter9099]

2050 tubs

[@pacboyusa]

I have one that the Record just spins does not play at all it will play sometimes and now will not reject at all what's wrong with my jukebox any help would be appreciated I just got it

[@sobrut1]

hi another thought too, first check your 3m15 contacts, on my brothers ls1 it is the second contact down, on the bunch of contacts that are on the carriage that are opened and closed by a lever there, make sure they are clean and not pitted, if build up on them file down just enough to make flat again, auto speed contact is 3m16, is top contact, all contacts should be clean and flat, 3m16 is closed in play and 3m15 is open in play,

[@SeeburgMusic]

Auto-Speed Unit needs recapping. Very easy.

[@M4ckanz]

Well i have the same problem.. did you fix yours?

[@favouritetree6286]

hi m4, did you fix your machine, has it been recapped if you have the same problem also check the contacts on the power relay which is in the auto speed, check too that it,s working, cheers

[@ronnieviar1508]

I am having the same issue. I have replaced the capicators in the auto speed and the record scanner. Anyone have any suggestions. Thanks.

[@sobrut1]

+Ronnie Viar hey ronnie did you get your seeburg going, you recapped your seeburg speed control unit, but still had problem with not playing, is it stopping like in the video you commented on, just a thought is to check your motor run capacitor, it sits near top of motor and is actually 2 capacitors in one, power through one side while scanning then power to other side while playing record, often a sign it,s on it,s way out is records play really slowly or no go, it,s circuit goes through the contact bunch where the reject lever goes up and down, check the contacts are clean and not burnt,pitted properly adjusted, if cap has power when in play i turn box off and change my wires onto the other cap just to check, beware caps are charged and can give you a good whack if not handled correctly, i discharge caps first, cheers, hope this helps

[@ronnieviar1508]

I replaced capicator and it made no difference. Haven't had time to see if anything else could be wrong.

[@favouritetree6286]

hey ronnie, did you get yours fixed, did you check the capacitor on top of the motor, if not check there, it,s like two capacitors in one, one half gives it faster speed for scanning and slower when in play, pretty sure it goes through one of the stack of fingers on the motor, it,s contacts may need a refurbish,[file], [check how many ohms] cheers

[@favouritetree6286]

@@sobrut1 hi ronnie, did you get your box going, if autospeed has been recapped as you say, check your power control relay in the autospeed unit, are contacts closing, are contacts clean, oh actually not sure come to think of it that might be open, either way check that they are doing something, long time since i played with them, form memory they open or close depending on if they are playing a 45 or a 33, anyway check contacts, reackon thats where your problem is, cheers, let me know how you went,
