This is Lucy ~ My 1970 Seeburg USC1 Bandshell

Описание: Just got Lucy working yesterday after years of sitting in a rural Texas garage. Still ponder how old "lubrication oil" turns to a rock solid brown varnish coating and old white grease turns to a "concrete like glue" in the gears / internal mech shafts. After 8 years of playing tunes and never being lubricated, the mech finally gummed up and the rubber motor coupler sheered in half while playing a record. That's how I found her, sitting in a garage with a 45 still clamped in play mode. Like the Tin Man.

I have yet to do a "complete internal" degreasing / relubricating of the clutch. However, everything is oiled / working except the transfer arm still is slow every once in a while.

It has the wrong amp installed but it actually sounds great. A TSA10 Amp is factory but instead I found a SHP1 Amp which is a higher wattage made for a newer Seeburg SPS2 Juke. Everything looks ok and it has some new capacitors however it has 2 original big blue paper capacitors mounted on top by the transformers that are "on my list". Only pressing amp issue is when it is first turned on it makes a noise even with the volume turned down.

Now time for the fun part of restoration. Making Lucy look good.
