Default Seeburg Q 160 WOn't stop scanning, stuck on scan.

I'm not exactly sure, it was a fuse that someone had added. It's in line between the mech and the transformer. Check all of your fuses.

Also, I just had the same problem with my G, it turned out to be a stuck scan relay.

This jukebox is 3 hours away from me, I'm going out on Sunday to pick it up for 200 bucks. It's in good shape. It's been in a family home since 1978, maintained by a jukebox tech whenever it had problems. Anyway the owner gave it to his bed\st friend when he retired and moved out of state. The loaded it into a truck and drove it in town from one house to another. I don't know if they secured the mechanism or not. Anyway, it was working fine before the move but now that it's in it's new location, it's stuck on scan. Turn it on and it scans till you turn it off. He said he tried to call the jukebox tech his friend used but he's retired too and the only guy in his town that says he can work on jukeboxes told him he doesn't work on Seeburgs. I've got pics of this jukebox and I can't see too much from them but nothing looks bent/messed up. I'm ordering a manual but I'll have this jukebox here before the manual arrives. Any idea of what might have been bumped to cause this? A microswitch? Maybe a short? Anyway, let me know what you guys think.


Probably not your issue, but I had a Seeburg that kept scanning last week. Turned out there was a burnt fuse.


It would help more if you said WHICH fuse you found caused the problem.
I'll assume it was on the mechanism itself, but...
