Seeburg SE100 Restoration Part 1 Selectomatic Mechanism Overview

so what's up guys thermionic warrior here so for the last few months I have been working on a jukebox I purchased two of these machines about I don't know vogt almost midwinter pretty much and I've decided I'm gonna basically make one out of the two since they are in such bad shape that that was the only economical thing to do anyways so I'm just gonna get into a bit of detail on tools and such you'll need if you decide to take on this sort of project we're gonna disassemble the whole mechanism and rebuild it this is probably gonna be a multi-part video since there's a lot to be explained and I kind of don't want to miss every detail so to start off this is I spent quite a number of hours putting this whole mechanism back together and cleaning each part like it it can be a nightmare depending on the shape it's in but it's well worth it and this is the this is the clutch here one of the more important pieces and over here is another clutch from the other machine and this is what it used to look like you know it still works but you can feel a lot of resistance inside the the bearings and that's the main thing the only way you can actually get rid of that is if you fully clean the machine each and every part because it's like it's almost like a cement that builds up inside so this one moves pretty freely and then I think the hardest piece to clean hardest section to clean is a the tonearm because there's all these pieces it's so intricate getting it back together is actually an absolute nightmare so I wouldn't recommend it unless you know exactly what you're doing or you have the manual on hand and have some patience it requires a lot of patience and I did replace the wire because it was all creasing everything so just a an example this is what it used to look like and this has like as you can see I didn't have any of the wiring in it wiring is coming later I have to rewire it and you can see it's just just the munge that's caked on to every single mechanical part the amount of resistance created especially in the rollers if you returned them you can feel there's not only are they a little bits there's a bit of resistance but there is there inconsistencies in the rollers like this piece here it's a good example of that the then compared to this this one which is all cleaned up and you can turn it you pretty much spins so now the motors removed and everything removed that the the amount of grease it's in there and that it's not even grease anymore it's like cement you can't really clean it out and even though this still works fairly well it also looks very ugly and it's also smells really bad and it's not a really reliable thing because the only way you can continue to use this is to basically continue throwing on more grease because you can't really get rid of it unless you clean it so to do this you will need to make a solution in a bin of some sort in the end I ended up ruining I used a small clear container and I ended up ruining it because the amount of grease it was like a thick film agrees both that much on the bottom of the bin after I was done cleaning now you I just used dish soap and a bit of pine-sol and water hot water is key to and you know the end result at all these nice clean pieces it takes a while to clean every individual one using a steel wire brush helps a lot and it is important to like these here you want to be careful because they can be you have to check to make sure the rubber is still good and then these ones are actually quite good still and make sure you clean off the grease off those eggs that will break down the rubber fast so these are the con which contacts are these those are the the timing relay contacts some of them are actually quite bad and yeah and these are just a leftover part so I even went taking apart each individual read switch which is quite crazy in its own way but as long as you have the manual you can pretty much figure it out anyways since I'm running low on battery I will come back to this later and I will get to explain putting this all together and pretty much calibrating and making sure that when it's making sure it'll it's all gonna work properly as you can see I can actually turn this quite freely which is really good thing the other one you can't really do it very well and tools you will need you don't really need a lot but there's some very key other than the basic tools there's some very important ones like this is a dental tool which is very useful for removing the little little lock washer such as these ones here or you can use something like this which has a point on it but this tool is also very useful for putting Springs back into place and scraping off you know excess grease in areas that you can't really get to you'll need at least two different sizes of of what are they the socket the sockets drivers and you'll need want some very fine tipped pliers and you'll want a metal bar that allows you to basically punch out these little pegs here and as well as help you put them back in place and then an assortment of allen keys you might need a small screwdriver depending on the areas exacto blade helps depending on which where you need it but yeah that's pretty much the basics oh yes and a Phillips screwdriver since there are Phillips screws in here as well but anyways I will be back this is part one and the second part I will begin reassembling this hope this was useful guys and stay tuned
