Seeburg LPC1
My Seeburg LPC1 was working fine now it will play 33 1/3 but not 45 RPM records.
I replaced the caps in the speed control but did not help. what can be the cause of this problem Any help would be very helpful Thanks Dave |

Seeburg LPC1
Dave, does the relay in the speed unit pull in when a 45 mounts?
If so, the problem is either defective power supply in the speed unit or transistors. if the relay does not pull in, the problem is likely in the contacts on the mech. Check the contacts on the clamp arm which close when a 45 is clamped.. There are more contacts on the mech which open the circuit to the relay at all times other than when a 45 is clamped. The plugs on the LPC series were known for faulty connections as well. Since you removed the speed unit to recap it, it is a good idea to check and clean that plug as well. The LPC was the most complicated machine of its time. If you have never worked on one a service manual w/schematics is essential. Have the selection receiver and amp been restored?

Dave, if the mech runs at 33 and the relay pulls in it is unlikely that the plug is the problem.
-Did you replace the large 4mfd cap? Most people use another oil filled cap, I used 4, 1mfd mylar caps (200 vac or higher)similar to what I've used in the stepper plate circuits. http://photobucket.com/gallery/user/...TIyMTU=/?ref=1 _Check the speed trimmer pot on the unit front. These are cheap wire-wound and they do develop dead spots. washing or spraying with contact cleaner will usually get them usable again. -Since the unit did work, albeit poorly, is is possible you made a connection error. -Check the relay contacts for pitting and make sure there is slight over-travel and "wiping" action. Transistor can not be overlooked here, but that is rare in this circuit unless there was a short in the motor circuit while a 45 was mounted. RobNYC |
