So, I'm an idiot.

We inherited this Seeburg M100C recently. It was working pretty great since it arrive but I've been trying to make it even better. Mostly cosmetic upgrades so far. I've just got a new 350 cartridge and booster amp will be installing that soon.

However, a few days ago I had opened the lower panel to take a look at some of the existing wiring. Basically the wires for the free play switch and the cancel switch are not great and just wanted to do some better connections and replace the switches.

So, while I was looking back there that lower panel fell off of it's little hinges and few of the cables pulled free. I'm pretty sure I got them all back into place and it didn't fall but a couple of inches. When I went to play a selection it wouldn't work.

Here's what's happening:
I press the free play switch and the select lights come on like they should and hear something latch in the selection panel.
I make my selection.
The little mechanism on the credit and cancel unit does it's rotation.
Then nothing happens, it doesn't start to move the mechanism.

When I use the service switches the mechanism does scan just like it should.

I've made sure the other service switch is in the correct on position and have even tried it in the off position but no go.

Just can't figure out where to go from here. I was considering buying this solid state free play unit that replaces the credit and cancel unit but not sure if that will fix my problems.

Any thoughts on where to start?

I recently inherited two Seeburg Jukeboxes.

I'm currently working on the M100C because it is functional. Mainly some cosmetic issues I'm dealing with.

The issue I'm having is that the sound coming out of one of the needles is not at the same volume as the other needle. There where a lot of spare parts that came with the jukeboxes so I swapped out both needles to see if that would fix the issue. It did not.

As you can see in the photo the needles don't rest the same either.

Looking for next step suggestions since a replacement cartridge is not cheap. Should I start by checking the pressure that each spring is placing on the record and adjusting? Should I just order a new cartridge; if so which one? Is there something else I should look at adjusting first?

Thanks in advance.
