Terry L. brought in a DCC3, black box, and a gray box for testing and repair. Says the jukebox won’t initate Scan after a selection is made. This jukebox does not have a Selection Pass button which has “gotten” more than one good jukebox tech including yours truly. The problem won’t be in the black box but could in the gray and most definitely in the DCC or Digital Control Center. I tested the boxes first on my STD4 test jukebox amd they were fine. Installed the DCC and sure enough-no scan. I swapped in the smallest board and the unit started scanning when a selection was made. This board sends a scan start pulse when told to by the gray box. Someone had attempted to repair it by replacing Q3115 and Q3116 with totally wrong components. It was cheaper to just install one of my rebuilt units in place rather than repair his.
I finally got the SMC2 chrome trim back from Morales Plating. They are good but slow. I installed the four pieces, two on top and two in front. Actually installed them twice as in my admiration for the pretty shiny stuff I forgot to put the black top and front stop trim pieces in place first. These stop pieces do just that- the upper and lower doors stop or rest against them. I’ll have to order weatherstripping trim to install on them.
The rest of my garage time was spent rounding up the volume control pieces that push onto the volume controls themselves and epoxying the steel balls in place. Each gets three. These mesh with three holes on the reciprocating piece that actually connects to the volume control motor gear box. There are two flavors for the later jukeboxes. Balled and hook and loop. I’ll be getting into volume controls soon.
