Skipping selections, etc....
Recently my Seeburg G started acting up...when you press a selection,
say, A-1, the unit will go from stadby to begin to scan and then simply pass by A-1. Then, if I hit another selection, while its scanning, it'll choose it, play and then scan thru again only to come back & replay that last selection. Upon opening the rear of the machine, I noticed the pins aren't pulling back in after being played. The pinbank was rebuilt and cleaned about 2 years ago and was working fine. Do you think it may need re-lubing? If so, with what type of lubricant? Any other ideas? Thanks in advance! Jay |

Use absolutely NO lubricant in the pin bank assembly. Lubricant will attract
dust and/or moisture which can lead to erratic selection operation down the road. If the selection pins are not moving fully to the outside of the rows when selections are made there's likely an issue with the Credit & Cancel Unit (on the Wired Selection Receiver chassis). If the pins don't move fully to the center position after playing the C/IC contacts on the front of the carriage assembly might be dirty or mis-adjusted. Tthe pin cancel coils on the contact block that rides in the pin bank channel might be dirty inside, preventing the plunger from moving easily. (The contact block has a set of "dressing" pins that are intended to move the selection pins fully into the selected or not selected position when the carriage is scanning. If a pin is "most of the way" selected or canceled the dressing pins will move it into proper position, which can result in a skipped selection being played after the carriage passes by that selection once.)

SONGBIRD - T-Bird jukebox.... (NSM)
Anyone have the extra schematics for this beast? I have the IV service
manual that covers the regular electronics, but has nothing on the extras - the sound effects nor the flashing tail lights.
