Seeburg EBCS1 - Part Two

Here are the last of the in-progress shots of the Seeburg EBCS1.  Everything is disassembled and cleaned and the self-contained replacement light is wired up.  The big blue speaker has been removed from the front grille.








































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.
