John,

Yes, there is continuity across the RCA plug, also OHMs out fine.

The TEU-1 checked out ok on my friend's KD using my tubes as well.

The tormat had been opened prior to me getting this box, I don't know why. I opened it and didn't see anything obvious, the resistor reads 183Ω.

I have a "new" tormat arriving in a day or two. I'll keep you posted.

Hio Wayne,

I agree, Tormats were very reliable. It could be a broken wire on the
RCA plug - does it show continuity between the pin and the shell? Should
be under ten ohms if I recall correctly - more like 3 or 4 ohms in fact.

Look for the "Battery Test" that will help determine if the Tormat and
Readout circuits are working correctly.

You will have to align the replacement Tormat correctly, this is shown
in the manual.

I suspect you have another problem than that though.

Thanks John,

I'e cleaned the detent switch, but that did not help.

The troubleshooting manual is pointing towards a bad format, although I find that hard to believe.

I do have a replacement format arriving in a few days.

Hi all,

I have a sick L-100.

Scans twice, doesn't pick. Battery test does not work. Tubes seem to be good, I have a new 2050 arriving this week, just in case.

The mech does trip if I pull the 12AX7, pull and replace the RCA plug or ground pins 3 or 5 of the 2050

TEU-1 was rebuilt a few years ago, all new caps and resistors.

I'm using a free play box.

Prior to this happening, if I'm correct (it was a while ago), intermittently, if I made a selection, the keys would not latch sometimes, and sometimes they would. Then it would pick. Then I heard a "pop" and since then, the keys latch, but the box does not pick anymore.

thoughts?


Detent switch dirty? Have you checked my Seeburg tips page for testing
processes?
