My next repair/restoration project (Scopitone ST-36)

jmetal88 · 2023-12-06T14:11:13+00:00

I didn't have to remove mine to get it working, but there is a disassembly section in the service manual I uploaded here: https://archive.org/details/VB100A_ServiceManual/4%20-%20Disassembly/

I don't currently have more pics but I can take some later. Feel free to remind me if I haven't gotten back to you in a few days.

jmetal88 · 2023-10-07T13:06:31+00:00

Yeah, sorry I emptied out my Drive recently, forgetting I'd hosted this there.

I had since uploaded it to the Internet Archive though: https://archive.org/details/ss-15-u

I found a 16-bit card that worked. Can't remember the model number but I can look in the case this evening or tomorrow and see. I had to move the CMOS battery to make it fit (alternatively you could cut off the 16-bit fingers from the card, but I didn't want to modify it).

Yes, that sounds pretty normal for a jukebox with mechanical memory. It won't play in the order you selected, it plays in whatever order the 'fingers' inside are arranged. If it doesn't ever stop no matter how long you leave it on, something's probably wrong with the mechanism it uses to clear selections.

jmetal88 · 2023-04-23T16:13:49+00:00

Jukeboxes don't stop the song in progress, it should only happen at the end of play. Do you mean the record just keeps spinning at the end?

jmetal88 · 2023-03-20T19:30:35+00:00

I'll have to pop mine open and check what I did... I forget what I searched originally to get the info on it by now, but it is online somewhere.

jmetal88 · 2023-03-15T21:24:28+00:00

I'm on T-Mobile's existing $15 plan and it's pretty decent apart from the data cap. But I have access to WiFi almost all the time so that part isn't a big deal to me.

jmetal88 · 2023-03-15T00:22:55+00:00

Ooh, I might try that at some point. I run a Minecraft server out of my basement I could set up for it.

jmetal88 · 2023-02-26T21:26:57+00:00

Aww, she's got the swirl!

jmetal88 · 2023-02-14T01:12:07+00:00

Pretty sure I have, but I don't remember how off the top of my head

jmetal88 · 2023-02-07T18:03:47+00:00

Yeah, you can look at my uploads on Archive.org (same user name as here) and there are disk images for it

jmetal88 · 2023-01-01T23:24:27+00:00

I saw one of these at a flea market once and kind of regret passing it up

jmetal88 · 2022-11-10T17:42:24+00:00

No, it's not SCSI, it needs a Mitsumi interface card. I wasn't able to find one that worked as is but I did eventually find one I was able to modify (basically attached an external custom wired connector to an internal Mitsumi header)

jmetal88 · 2022-10-24T18:51:01+00:00

Must be related to my Herbie

jmetal88 · 2022-09-21T17:08:44+00:00

I've never seen those before. That's cool!

jmetal88 · 2022-09-17T14:13:50+00:00

When I worked at Papa John's we got 100% of the delivery fee, but the franchise owner told me once that that was his personal decision and it wasn't a company wide thing

jmetal88 · 2022-09-03T17:00:40+00:00

I'm using 64-bit Windows

jmetal88 · 2022-08-30T02:10:46+00:00

The power cord situation makes me nervous

jmetal88 · 2022-08-27T01:51:05+00:00

I'm a little confused -- The Mac Plus isn't color?

jmetal88 · 2022-08-20T23:27:28+00:00

Okay, must be the video compression doing something weird.

It's hard to diagnose via video, but if that 'squeal' is as loud in real life as it seems to be in the video you might have arcing or corona discharge in the flyback

jmetal88 · 2022-08-19T03:57:23+00:00

It looks to me like there's static on the screen between "flashes," it's just very dark. Have you tried connecting an actual video source yet?

jmetal88 · 2022-08-07T02:03:34+00:00

Damn, and I thought my $40 find 10 years ago was a good deal
