   FS: Seeburg SCD-1; whole or parts   
   04 Sep 15 15:40:50   
   
   From: mbaker1313@gmail.com   
      
   I simply don't have time for this project.   
      
   I have a Seeburg SCD-1 for sale.  You can buy the whole thing or I'm willing   
   to part it out.   
      
   It works, sort of.  The two problems are that a) CDs will skip.  I've tried   
   brand new factory CDs and brand new home burned CDs, but it will skip on all   
   of them.  I read a while back that a there may be a resister (?) to blame and   
   that a replacement will    
   fix this, but I can't find the webpage I read that on.  Regardless, I don't   
   have the time, patience or skill set to do this.  The other issue is b) the   
   right side speakers aren't making noise.  I've read that this is either a   
   crossover issue or an    
   amplifier issue, but again, I don't have the time, patience or skill set to   
   address it.     
      
   All parts are there, I think.  The dollar bill taker works (I replaced the O   
   rings and it accepts all one dollar bills and "small face" five dollar   
   bills).  The lights, meter, buttons, etc. all work. I have the door to the   
   cash box, and the cash box too.    
   (often missing on jukes).  I understand that the Sony CD player is kind of   
   neat, and yet often troublesome.  I'm not sure what the exact issue regarding   
   the skipping is, but this player will pick up the CDs, and play them until   
   they start skipping.   
      
   If I don't get any interest in the machine I'll probably try to sell off a few   
   parts on ebay and then take a sledge hammer to it and cash in the metal at the   
   recycling yard.  I no longer have space to keep a non-working machine or boxes   
   of parts around.   
      
   One part that I'm sure is hard to find is the microphone.  I have it, but the   
   cord is cut off and I never messed with it to see if it works.  Looks awesome   
   though.  I'd bet someone with an electrical background can wire up a new cord.   
      
   If you're in the Pittsburgh PA area feel free to stop by and take every part   
   you want for a reasonable price.   
      
   I had every intention of restoring it (as it was the first CD jukebox, I   
   understand) but I have too many things on my plate.  I purchased a CD that has   
   operating instructions and info for it as well, and that's available.   
      
   Email me if interested, and thanks for reading.
