Joey,

Can you list what the problems are with them and what generation the jukeboxes are from? Are these CD or 45? Are they solid state or tube?

The reason I ask is that there are places to get cap kits if the problem is the audio output or new cones and foam surrounds if the speakers are deteriorated.

Hi Joeylc
    I have been in the jukebox business and have repaired more than one of the
mechanical monsters. and I still have one here at home.
So if you have the problems listed I might have an answer to help you out.

Hello RJ,

Do you have more info about the cap kits or know much about them?  I have a Seeburg AY160 and the amp needs to be rebuilt - I would like to try it myself but am a little nervous and would love to get more info about the process from someone who knows better.  :131-  Everything else on the jukebox works great and I have bypassed the internal amp to make it useable, but would love to get it working the way it should.  It looks just like the one pictured below...

If i am thinking correctly...and i might not be....chriscoinop has had many of these....he has atleast attempted to sell them on Ebay and in private.

you might give him an email to see if he can help....he used to be in utah, but now he is in houson tx...

i dont want to give his email out without asking his permission but if you go thru ebay, you can probably get hold of him that way.

just my 2cents

Looks like Jukeboxusa.com doesn't have them for that model...  and neither does jukeboxfridaynight.com

You might ping them to see if they can assemble one for you.

I have a 1952 Wurlitzer that needed an amp rebuild (cap kit) I ordered it from Victory Glass    http://www.victoryglass.com/

Once I pulled the amp and saw the way they did things in 1952, I sent it to Bill Bickers. He has written all kinds of articles for magazines on old Jukes.

He IS the man when it comes to jukeboxes!

As far as jukeboxes or aracade (vintage) or pinball's go parts or whole machines you pick'em contact steve at 228-424-0113.  He is a very good freind of mine and have known him a long time.  He has at least 5,000 pieces of whole games/equipment not to mention the parts.  You name it he probably has it.  He does not have slots but has everything else you could think of from vintage billard pool tables/lights, etc-again any game you want he probably has.  He has a lot of SUPER old pin's and he will sell
as-is or shopped out.  Tell steve Barry referred you.  He has saved my day on more occasions than I could count.

I am pretty sure he can meet your demands.  He has The "good" stuff- old-school.  Give him a call.  I have told him now for a long time to sign up here and post he would be a great asset to this site.  Thanks Barry

Bill Bicker is the best at amplifier cap kits and rebuilds. His web site is http://www.jukeboxfridaynight.com/ and a direct link to his cap kits is at
http://www.jukeboxamprepair.com/kits.html Be sure to have the Amplifier model number not the jukebox model number.
He has helped me with parts and words of wisdom when I rebuilt my amplifier.
My jukebox is now 99% compleat and I'm just waiting on the last shipment of louvers for the front grill.
Will post pictures when done.
