Seeburg TSA10 Amplifier July 2017

Another amplifier brought to me by my friend Mike. I am not sure what Jukebox this amplifier came from. There was not a lot of information to be found on the TSA10 amplifiers from Seeburg. From the research I have done it looks like the TSA10 was offered around 1971.  The following year the SHP1 amplifiers were first offered.


Above is what the amplifier looked like when I received it.  There was not any issues reported with this amplifier so I moved straight into replacing electrolytic capacitors.

 Electrolytic Capacitors Needed: 

Size Volatge Quantity
200mfd6v2
50mfd16v3
100mfd12v1
2700mfd50v1
1200mfd35v3
100mfd35v3

This is what the amplifier looks like with the driver board removed.

All capacitors replaced and all boards reinstalled.
The amplifier played very well with all the electrolytic capacitors replaced. It is now ready to be reinstalled in the Jukebox.

  1. Hello! do you still have this amplifier? If so, I may be interested in purchasing it from you! Feel free to respond in comments! Thanks!

6J1 Preamplifier

6J1 Preamplifier I purchased this 6J1 amplifier from eBay. The seller was located in China. Below is a my experinces building the preamp. I have not had a chance to give it a full test. I will update this post once I have had that chance.  It took a little over an hour and a half to finish building the kit. The board seemed a little tight for installing everything. The board itself runs on 12AC and from what I can gather it takes the 12AC and runs it through a voltage doubler which then gives the "B+" voltage.The tubes are 6J1's and obviously have 6volt filaments that run in series. I can not find a lot of info on the 6J1. Link to Data Sheet . There is not a lot of instructions. Most everything is in chines and so I cannot read it. I was able to follow down the parts list and figure out what everything was and where everything went. I used a multimeter to check the resistors before installing them because the colors were not easy to interrupt. Overall this is

Philco P933-124 from 1966

I have been wanting an AM/FM tube radio. I found this one eBay fairly cheap and I love Philco products.  The eBay listing said the radio worked as is. Below is how I received the radio. I was very pleased with the packing! The radio was all original from what I could tell and had a great sound. I went ahead and disassembled the radio and replaced the electrolytic capacitors. The radio has a great sound and very sensitive.  Below is the schematic.

Seeburg Digital Control Center

The Seeburg Digital Control Center came into use around the 1970's. This was model DDC1. Seeburg continued the use to the digital control center line until around 1977. The last model used was a DCC42-56. The DCC is used to supply 27 volts DC, -27 volts  DC and -13 volts DC to the jukebox. The DCC has test points on the side to measure these voltages.  Below you can see a DCC3. Once you flip over the DCC you will see two circuit boards. The top board is the data buffer board. Generally you will not have any issue with it. The second board (on bottom) is the power supply board. This where you may have issues. The power supply board is where the DC voltages are created and regulated. Below is the power supply board removed. The first thing I always do when working on a DCC is start by replacing all electrolytic capacitors. Below is the schematic.  In my case as you can see below I had other issues. As you can see transistor Q3120 has been repla
