Weird Possessed Jukebox?

Hi-
I've got a Seeburg Mardi Gras Juke and just recently, it's started to
be really weird. When it's playing, all the sudden the volume will get
really loud and more high end starts coming out.

Any idea what this could be or what I can do? Thanks

Amplifier problems. Unless you are good at repairing solid state equipment I
suggest finding a qualified service tech. Somebody on here should be able to
help you with that.

Hi, something to check is the plug in "mute/trip relay" on the back of
the amp. I know when the contacts inside are dirty or burnt it can
give a *volume drops down with no treble* problem, then comes back
on/off with the next cycle.
This relay can be taken apart and contacts cleaned.

Sometimes just tapping on it when the problem occurs can pinpoint the
problem.

Thanks Joe-
That sounds like EXACTLY what is happening...

Cool. That is a Guardian relay 1315H-4C-24D. This replaces the
original which is obsolete. Available at any electronics supplier.
Should be under $10.
