Seeburg G HELP
This is a very long story and I am so confused. I bought a Seeburg G with awful sound - low volume and no depth (sounds like am radio). So I send the amp out to be rebuilt and test the cartridge to make sure its good. Oh by the way the cartridge is a red head with t-shaped needles. The amp comes back and sounds no better but the amp rebuilder says the amp is from a "B". I also own a "C" with the same cartridge and the sound would blow you away. The amp guy suggests that I put the amp in my C and see waht happens. It sounds great, I put the C amp in the G and it sounds awful. So my question is how can I get the G with the B amp to have great sound? And why am I so confused?

Seeburg G HELP
Is your 'good' sounding juke also using a redhead? The newer needles
for the red one (bent) are said to have very low output, the older black cart would not suffer from this. If that reveals nothing, take out the poor sounding speaker and examine it for rubbing or loose voice coil and torn cone. try it on the good sounding machine. Also, examine the cable that comes from the mech to the amp. Look at both pickup (RCA plug) and mute leads. often these have been melted on the output tubes and this can cause problems. Try playing it with the mute plug removed. My guess is speaker or styli. Do you have a DVM or similar meter? Rob/NYC |
