Seek Tracker Bar Scale for Seeburg Style 'L'
By Gary Blizzard

I recently picked up a Seeburg nickelodeon, model 'L', that needs help.
The machine plays well as is but I need to find out what the different
bellows do so I can bring it back close to normal.  I already know that
the rewind mechanism probably needs to be rebuilt but there are other
bellows that I can not figure out their purpose.

As is now, the machine has an over-ride switch that bypasses the coin
mechanism.  Also, after song 10 the bellows does not fully engage the
rewind gear so I have to push it in and hold it to make it stay in the
rewind mode until it reaches the start of song #1.

If anyone out there has any information on the tracker bar sequence or
where I can find out this information it would be greatly appreciated.
I really cannot afford to send this machine out and have it
professionally restored but would like to bring it back to life.

Thanks in advance,
Gary Blizzard
