seeburg "buttons won't stay pushed in to make selection"

[stevemc...@gmail.com]

I have the seeburg m100c box,and its worked fine for years.
Suddenly it wont let me select tunes. If I press one of the keys, it will just come back up with my finger.
It won't stay pushed down to start the process of selecting song.

Anone know if this is an easy fix?

If you push two buttons at the same time and the machine selects the
correct record then your problem is with the "Latch Solenoid" assembly.
It could be a burned out coil, broken link, or power not getting to the
coil.

Of course if the machine DOES select when you press both buttons, then
I'd leave it for now. Otherwise you need a manual and some
troubleshooting skills if the problem isn't obvious (burnt coil/broken
link at the coil, etc.).

No harm with a two finger selection as far as the jukebox is concerned.
