Hello everyone. I have been lurking around these forums a couple months now and today I had the opportunity to buy 2 Seeburg SMC 1 Disco's and 1 Seeburg STD4 Mardi Gras. I found them on Craigslist last night and emailed the owner. I got a call first thing this morning and she told me they were her uncles and he wanted them out of the barn they were stored in. Since I live to far away and had no way to get them I called my brother who lives right down the road from these babys and he told me he would check them out for me. Well he called me from the barn and said the lady actually plugged the best looking one of the two Disco's up and it started playing albeit at a very low volume. The other one needs more work by far but the glass is intact in all the machines and some rust but not a lot. So I told him to get all three.
So for $300.00 for the three did I get a good deal, I surely think so! I am very excited as I am having a Prelude SMC 3 restored now at a local amusement dealer. Now all I need to find is the Phoenix!
Now is there anyone here who would like to tell me where to start first? I guess I should plug in the working Disco and check if the volume is down because of the volume control right? Or should I do other things first to keep the integrity of the working parts.
I am total NEWBIE and really would love your ideas and your consult.
Thanks in advance and here are the pics as they were being loaded onto the trailer.
