Tech: Seeburg 222 Add Solenoid stays on

Hi Group -

My Seeburg 222 keeps scanning and the selection keys remain down when
pressed. After a bit of exploring, I noticed that the Add Solenoid remains
on.

Is this the cause of my problems or another symptom?

Any ideas on what to look for next? I have another pricing unit from my
Q100 that I was thinking of swaping in - what do you guys think?

Any ideas appreciated . . .

Thanks,
Barry Schiffer

If the keys remain depressed that indicates the pricing unit is not making a
full cycle; the keys are released at the end of a credit cycle. This is often
caused by mis-adjustment of the "hold" switches on the selector keyboard, but
could also be caused by a mis-adjustment of the carry-through switch in the
credit unit that ensures the unit makes a full cycle, or a defective hold
relay in the credit unit.

I don't offhand recall if the Q pricing unit is fully compatible with the one
from the 222 ...

I worked on one of those and it had to be the most horrible complicated
machine i have ever seen . I cetainly wish you luck

I am hoping that a simple swap of the credit unit might bring the desired
results (if my Q100 matches the 222).

Will post results for future reference . . .

Update - replacing the credit unit did fix the scanning problem and the
solenoid problem.

Now if I can just get it to pick up a record (different problem, I believe).
