I finished sorting and testing the volume control cables and motor assemblies from more that I found here and there. I have a Good pile and a Bad pile. The heads I’m still trying to figure out just how many I’ll use for newer 70’s remotes and the older MSRVC1 units I’ll be reproducing. These will go on the 100Selects. I have laid of that particular project so long that a couple people actually beat me to it and started offering replacement remote volume controls for the older jukeboxes.
I picked out a nice working volume control cable and motor for the SMC2. Coupled them and tested on the STD4. It works great so I installed it on the SMC2. Next I selected a nice “head”, the unit with the up/down volume switch and the reject button. I gutted it and cleaned the gray plastic til it couldn’t get cleaner. With the insides installed I added about 12 feet of new five conductor cable to it, installed terminals on the other end, ran it into the SMC2 and screwed the wires down. It works flawlessly. One more item off the list.
The new Gen2 MCU board arrived. It does not need the onboard voltage regulators or batteries used on the original MCUs so that stuff got stripped out of a nice case and the new board installed. I’ll run it tomorrow.
