SOURCE: clutch pedal stays on floor when released

check the helper spring on the clutch pedal. You'll have to get down in the driver's footwell and using a flashlight look at the mechanism while you push the pedal down (and pull up). If the spring isn't missing or broken and everything looks okay, then change the clutch master cylinder. The piston in the cylinder is probably binding due to corrosion in the bore. I have an 1986 and had the same problem. Changing the clutch master cylinder fixed it.

Same key that operates the locks on the sides unlocks the top, but top might be sticky. Push down on it.
Order keys if you don't have them. It's key F291. GOOD locksmith can make it or order one off eBay.
Your jukebox is a USC2. Use that model number as a reference.
Keypad "0" contacts are probably dirty or broken, or the connectors to the keyboard or black and gray boxes might be loose or need cleaning. Circuit board might be dirty (YES! This is a common Seeburg issue). To clean it of check for broken contacts on the "0" key, you'll have to remove it and open it up. Putting it back together can be tricky. Be patient.
Worst case, you can install a replacement keyboard.

If you have someone come out, be SURE to have them give the jukebox a good lubrication. Seeburgs are complicated machines and need periodic lubrication.

Also, buy a manual. Jukebox repairmen don't usually have the manuals for your jukebox. Too many.

SOURCE: seeburg b 100 jukebox carrier will not move to pick up records

Inside the control center is a solenoid that's connected to some switches. These activate the mechanism to start scanning when a selection is made. You'll have to check that. Could be dirty or need lubrication. The do get sticky after years.
Don't lubricate the plunger, just he other small parts on the switch unit with some light Teflon lube, TRI-FLOW, any hardware store for about $4.
Whatever controls this solenoid might not be working, also. It should activate every time a selection is made, and deactivate after 2 scans of the mechanism.

Your juke is 58+ years old now, so it might be time to have some maintenance done if you're not comfortable tinkering with the innards. Be sure it gets a lube job, too. At least the oil cups on the side of the motor at the very least.

YOU ARE SAYING THE MOTOR DOES NOT SPIN. TRY TO SPIN THE DRIVE SHAFT ON TOP OF MOTOR . DOES THE SHAFT TURN EASY. IF NO THEN YOU HAVE A MOTOR OR LUBRICATION.
PROBLEM.
DOES THE SCAN SWITCH, WHEN PUSHED TO SCAN DOES IT SCAN. IF IT SCANS BACK, AND FORTH 2 TIMES, YOU THEN HAVE A COIN CREDIT PROBLEM (MOST LIKELY )

SOURCE: seeburg jukebox sx 100 scans twice and returns

THIS JUKEBOX IS 40 YEARS OLD. LUBRICATION MAY BE THE PROBLEM. HERE IS HOW TO FORCE THE SEEBURG JUKEBOX TO PICK UP A RECORD AND PLAY A SONG.
LOOK AT THE ARM THAT HOLDS UP THE NEEDLE AND CARTAGE. NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE RED ARM, ONE INCH TOWARD THE MOTOR, THERE IS A HORIZONTAL LEAVER LIFT IT UP A RECORD WILL GO INTO THE HEAD, THAT RECORD SHOULD PLAY THE SONG, IF THE LUBRICATION IS OK.
IF THE RECORD GOES INTO THE HEAD, AND THEN PUTS THE RECORD BACK IN THE RACK. YOU HAVE A LUBRICATION PROBLEM.
THAT IS A TOUGHT MACHINE TO FIX IOF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT.
DOCTOR FIX IT.

I have a 1968 Seeburg Ls2 jukebox,and I think the main fuse in the junction box is blown.I can push down on top of the fuse holder but cannot get the fuse out.Is anyone familiar with this jukebox?

In addition to pushing down on the fuse cap, you will need to also twist IE unscrew the cap about one quarter turn. the cap will then pull out and have the fuse stuck in the end of the cap. Check it with a meter set for continuity.

If the fuse remains in the the hole and not in the cap, you can use a magnet to help extract the fuse.

Yes, I'm familiar with Seeburg's, but nothing is a very big symptom. if the main fuse is blown, try another fuse of the CORRECT value. if it blows again, you have a short, (Capacitor, transformer perhaps)

I'm not sure if the other answers even come close to answering you questions.
Since you know nothing about it you might want to get a manual first off.
More info on your model here - http://www.jukebox-world.de/Forum/Archiv/Seeburg/SeeburgMatador.htm

There are selection trouble shooting & help are located here - http://www.ebay.com/itm/231698068028?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649

Additional tips
All light bulbs
that are located in the key pad "light box" "First digit", "Second digit", Reset / Re-select etc.. are controlled and LIT BY THE SELECTION COMPUTER. They must have the correct bulbs installed! These are special 28V bulbs. Depending on your particular jukebox model, you NEED to use one of the two types listed below.

GE 656 - 28V .06A 2500HR LIFE T3 1/4IN WEDGE BASE MAN19600 EIKO BRAND or

GE 1819 - 1.12 WATTS 28 VOLT BA9S SINGLE CONTACT BAYONET, 9MM DIAMETER.

Installing a 6 or 12 Volt bulb here will cause damage to either your replacement box, and / or the resistors that are located on the small circuit board on the back of the light box. (These resistors are inline on models using 1819 bulbs)

CAUTION
BOTH lamp types look exactly like 12v bulbs, BUT THEY ARE NOT, and are often mistaken for 12v bulbs. This is a very common mistake made by many Seeburg owners, so be careful with this.

When was the jukebox invented?

Gabel Automatic Entertainer (1906)
24 selections, with open 40 inch horn on top, oak cabinet. Gabel is given credit to the first coin-operated phongraph which offered a choice of selection on records.

I have a 1963 seeburg jukebox. the motor runs and turntable goes around normally. but it wont pick up the record. i think its the cam. help thanks

Your Seeburg LPC1 or LPC480 is well overdue for an electrical overhaul.
It most likely can no longer write selections into the memory, or read them out if they're being written in. No way to tell from here. A jukebox that old probably needs to have the units underneath rebuilt with new capacitors. Their lifespan is usually about 25 years, so no surprises there. This is common for all old jukeboxes. Google Vern Tisdale or Bill Bickers for the rebuild kits. You need to solder and read a schematic to do the work, or find someone who can, but the actual parts are not all that expensive.
