1954 Seeburg HF100R Jukebox — “The R”
The Seeburg HF 100R Jukebox was produced from 1954 to 1955 and is one of the most sought-after of all the 50’s jukeboxes. This model was made in 1954 and features the chrome accents and visible Select-O-Matic system that was, and still is, so popular among collectors of jukeboxes from the Silver Age. It holds 50 records and is capable of playing up to 100 selections at a time. There are 5 speakers with a high-fidelity sound and a lightning bolt design across the speaker grill. The glass lid is larger on this model than on previous models, to allow for greater visibility of the mechanism. The lid lifts easily to change the records or selection titles. A 25-watt fluorescent lamp illuminates the mechanism, the speaker grill and ornaments and backlights the selection titles. The 100R accepts nickels, dimes and quarters: a nickel for one selection, a dime for 2 and a quarter for 6 plays.

every time we make a selection, it automatically double clicks and the record comes into the player then releases back without playing. like if I hid the reject button in the back. any ideas how I can keep it from rejecting record before playing? thanks tom
