7 How to Oil - Lubricate a Seeburg Mechanism

A BIG reason why Seeburg Jukeboxes do not work correctly is: Lack of Proper Lubrication Oil. OLD oil turns to sludge or using the Wrong Oil causes Seeburg Jukeboxes to stop working or work only when they feel like it. In this Vid I show the oil I use, how to lubricate and discuss what to oil.

Ron and others on the Yahoo Seeburg Forum say SAE 20 oil is good to use. The reason I use 3IN1 Motor Oil is because it is 20 weight SAE non detergent oil made for motors. It is inexpensive and sold at my local Lowes.

Footnote:

These videos are numbered starting with 1 when I bought it. Bought a Seeburg STD3 Sunstar Jukebox for $50 from a storage unit. Documenting this Seeburg Jukebox Restoration Project from the start - no script - just rambling. Goal is to help other novice Seeburg Jukebox restorers get a feel for what I am doing.

I am not a professional jukebox repair person. I am just learning by doing and reading the manuals. I also get tons of advice from the yahoo group seeburg forum. I might provide bad advice unintentionally. Hoping you just might learn a thing or two.
