   Alex,    
      
   Thanks for posting. I have a Seeburg SPS160 and it is doing exactly what you   
   described in a previous post. It will scan twice and not select a record, but   
   after it has warmed up, it will start selecting and playing records. Do you   
   remember what    
   transistor you replaced on the power supply board that ultimately fixed the   
   problem?   
      
   Thanks,   
   Kent
