PROBLEM
Urgent!
The fallowing is to be performed immediately!
PROBLEM
Hardware on the Skateboard Assembly comes loose due to excessive
force being applied during rough play.
SOLUTION
CORRECTION
Check, tighten and LocTite all of the hardware on the Skateboard
Assembly following the steps below.
1. Using your Owner's Manual
as a guide {pages 45, 78, 80, 81 &
83). Disassemble the top of the
Skateboard Assembly to expose
the inner mechanism.
2. Check all hardware for tight-
ness. Pay special attention to all
Bearing Supports and Pivot-point
Supports. When tightening any
bolt or screw, BLUE LOCTITE
(242) MUST BE USED. Be sure
to dean all thread surfaces with
a degreaser before the LocTite is
applied.
3. At this time, check the Curve
Volume (potentiometer) for
proper adjustment Refer to page
41 and 42 of the Owner's Manual
for procedure. Be sure to adjust
Gear Backlash in a manner that
allows for maximum contact and
no binding. ( Gears should be
fully meshed but not so tight that
they bind).
4. Re-assemble the Skateboard
Assembly being sure to use Blue
LocTite on ALL HARDWARE.
The above steps need to be performed once upon RECEIPT OF THE
GAME. Then the following schedule is to be followed.
Busy LOCATIONS
(5 00+ plays per week.)
Once per month.
Can anybody tell me where I can
get parts for this juke? The plas-
tic title display is tom at the top
in several places causing it to slip
out from the opto-coupler.
Thanks in advance for your help.
MODERATE LOCATIONS
(Less than 5 00 plays per week.)
Once every three months.
Seeburg has made a new title dis-
play for the BLAST and NEON
models. It is a kit that comes with
a FLIP PAGE title display like
ROWE and new software in an
EPROM chip.
You must get the correct kit for
the model you have (BLAST or
NEON). I have installed many
of these and they work great.
Well worth the money!
NOTE
Seeburg also has CDM12 Player
kits if your CD M3 player goes
out.

If you feel your electronics is
pretty strong already, the chal-
lenge then becomes keeping cur-
rent. For this you need to follow
the engineering publications.
Engineering magazines are in-
tended for the circuit designer,
and they are heavy with adver-
tisements. There are also tuto-
rial articles and other instructive
material. Good general maga-
zines are EDN and Electronic De-
sign, both thick and shiny like a
copy of Replay. They are out ev-
ery two weeks. Also interesting
is the EE Times, a weekly news-
paper. Electronic Parts covers
components. All of these publi-
cations are free, but you have to
"qualify" for subscription. In es-
sence they want you to be some-
monitor repair there, but you
certainly will see power supply,
logic, and other useful topics cov-
ered. I read Electronic Servicing
and Technology, a magazine really
aimed at the guys fixing TVs,
VCRs and computer monitors,
but I find enough in it of interest
to make it worth while. Then
again I do repair consumer
goods. There are magazines
aimed at the hobbyists and
techies among us in a number of
areas. Magazines that focus on
building and modifying equip-
ment will generally be more edu-
cational than ones that concen-
trate on what to buy and reviews
of existing products.
one in a position to design prod-
ucts that incorporate the compo-
nents advertised in them. They
are looking for designers, manu-
facturers, purchasers. To check
them out and find a subscription
card, try the library, the nearest
college with a EE program, call
a local engineering firm and ask
for a spare copy. There are also
many very specific engineering
magazines. Laser Optics, Connec-
tor Buyer, Microwave, ESD, Mili-
tary Design, etc.
Learn the basics, build your back-
ground, keep current and never
stop learning, share the knowl-
edge. That's the name of the
game for this guy.
