Here are the final (for now). Here is the interior - cleaned and rewired. The self-contained fluorescent housing had to be cut away (at right) to accommodate the right hand latch mechanism. I used the original switch and some of the original wiring - even though it is on the bottom of the unit. Makes sense as this was originally used as a wall mounted unit. Here is a nice example of the original assembly with the consolette installed. One of the eventual two speakers is waiting for its pal.
The finished version has 2 little HK computer speakers in it along with an old mp3 player with songs from the three artists on the Little LPs - Brenda Lee, Frank Sinatra and Buck Owens. For now this is a nice countertop item - though I may reroute the power cord out the back and put a rocker on it.
I sent a pdf of the combined manuals for the EBCS1 and the SC1 that were inside to the cordial Dino Anton of Jukebox Repair Service in Pinellas Park, FL. He hosts a collection of Seeburg Manuals here. Mine are not posted yet, likely will be soon.
