SEEBURG DS 160....Is this the best sounding jukebox Seeburg had tooffer from the golden era of 1951 to 1961?
 
Yesterday i got a chance to make a repair and see again a DS-160 i had restored to perfection near 15 years ago.The person said the juke was make a loud knocking sound when the record was being playing.

I get there and start truobel -shooting the problem finding the needle brush linkage not working freely and getting out of the way of the record.I work my magic to get it loosen up and get it freely working again and also give the mech a few drops of needed oil.I also had to take a part and clean the round dish like part that holds the record in place when playing.Once i completed my work i played about 10 to 20 records without any problems.

I forgot and couldn't believe how great the sound quality was with this jukebox and the power the amp has.

I have heard almost all of the Seeburg jukes from the 1951 to 1961 and think the DS-160 could be the best sounding box out of the all.I have a Seeburg R waiting to get restored at home and think perhaps this could be a better sounding box then the DS-160?

Let me know what you Seeburg lovers think is the best sounding Seeburg model jukebox out there.I would like to hear your opinions.
Thanks
