Nice jukebox, I have the SMC 2 with the spinning disco ball. Be sure to check and or change the batteries in the microcomputer so nothing gets corroded from leaking batteries.
 
Already done... the batteries looked good but they were replaced anyway.

Anyone done any upgrades to their machines? Freeplay hack? Run a freeplay and/or reject button to the back, etc?

Mine has a reject button in the back. The mcu should have two freeplay settings. No upgrades, but a new pair of needles makes a big difference.

A DS-160 was my first juke! Technically the first coin op machine I ever bought over 20 years ago.

Oddly enough I'm looking at a SMC-2 right now; it's total disco cheese! I think it would be hilarious to load it full of pure 70's disco, and nothing else but disco.
 
The SMC-2 ups the ante on Disco cheese with that super cool disco ball.

Not sure why the "Disco" model didn't have one but the "Phoenix" model did?

Also... can anyone tell me if this machine is SUPPOSED to play 33.3 records?

It accepts them (small hole) but plays them at 45RPM.\

Also Mike... how did that DS160 sound?

The DS160 was really nice, of course we were newly married, broke as hell, and living in a tiny duplex, so it sat in the corner of the kitchen. Not exactly an amphitheater, but great tone and range nonetheless. I think the Seeburgs from that era in general sound nice.

Just put one of these in my SMC2 and it it now works perfect!
 
OK... It appears this volume pot is a dual-gang 25K pot... at least that is what I am reading in the schematics, but you never know...

...can I use just about any dual-gang 25K pot? I suppose I should pull the current one to measure the shaft length and diameter?

Am I missing something?

Probably want a pot with an audio taper rather than a linear taper. Don't remember all the details but it will make the change in volume more uniform per turn of the knob.

Not sure on your machine, but if it has a mechanical selection memory unit then it'll play then in their stored order.
Solid state units some times have a setting to choose between FIFO or popular first, or whatever.

I.E. you sleect these on a mechanical unit:
100 House of the Rising Sun
104 Green Onions
113 Surfing Bird
126 Whip It

It'll play in that order reguardless of how they were selected. Except it'll usually start playing the first one entered, then continue in order from that record. If you selected Surfing Bird first, it's play that, then Whip It, then House...

Clear as mud?
