seeburg amp repair
 
Well, I've been known to, in a weak moment.
What part of the world do you live in?

I'd suggest Mike Zuccaro in Cali, or maybe C&C electronics....

Guys, does Charlie Maier do these, or just Rockola stuff?

I assume you've reversed the input leads to eliminate the possibility of a
bad cartridge or wiring?
And swapped the speaker leads also, to check the speakers and wiring?

Well, if you're handy with electrical stuff at all, here's a possibility...
I had one of these that had one dead channel, turned out to be one of the
big (1400 uf?) non-polarized caps, down in the lower right corner of the
chassis. Big yellow cylinders. Take a look at your amp, if you can identify
those, try jumpering across each one with the biggest NP cap you can find
locally, up to the original spec, with the same or higher voltage rating. Or
you can disconnect them one at a time, find the good side, pull that cap and
swap it into the other channel, see if that cures the problem. I was using
a signal generator to trace mine out, got sound from one end of the cap,
nada from the other.

Of course, there's a hundred things it could be, but caps tend to go with
time.

Good luck, and don't get shocked!
