Newbie seeks NSM Jukebox Help - UK Vintage Radio Repair and Restoration Discussion Forum

Hello to you all ! I am a TV cameraman of many years with a penchant for making old electronics live again. So far I have a 1980 Bally Frontier Pinball and a Jubilee Riviera Slot Machine. A friend has just given me a 1970's NSM Hits 120A Jukebox which has been sitting in his garage a long time. I have managed to strike up an email chat with a helpful chap in Australia but I wondered if there was anyone nearer to me, who might help. I am in Gillingham Kent.

The Jukebox powers up and the carriage travels along to either end OK, but the solenoid resetting the selector switches in and out continually as does the play counter mech. I have a link to photos and a short video.

Any help much appreciated.

Not many jukebox owners on here. There are several jukebox forums that will have an in-depth knowledge of faults - google and see.

Well, NSMs are a little bit like Seeburgs .....

But you really need to beg, borrow, steal or in the absolute worst case, cheat and buy a service manual. Preferrably for the exact model you have, though there's usually a lot of commonality of parts between one model and next year's replacement.
