On one of the jukebox forums a person was considering purchasing a Seeburg USC1 Bandshell and asked about the procedures for safely moving a jukebox. Spur of the moment decided to make 2 videos and upload them without retakes or editing. This is the first video which describes what the Seeburg installation and operations manual says. If you do not know how to move a seeburg then this can be very helpful. If you already know then this is a really boring 9 minute waste of your time to watch.
The Seeburg USC1 manual, in my opinion, is terrible at explaining how to move a jukebox. They only have 1 poorly written paragraph titled UNBLOCKING on page 9 which tells the original owner in 1970 what 2 screws to remove before playing it for the first time. They don’t explain how to move it later on.
A man named Tony Miller created a helpful website for us seeburg jukebox owners. Tony has passed on but his website is there for all of us to keep learning about seeburgs. There is a page on his site titled Moving Your Machine that is the best resource available.

The 2 screws talked about in the manual are 4 and a half inch long carriage bolts. The bolts are 1/4 inch in diameter and have 20 threads per inch. Take this info to your hardware store and buy at least 2. I realized when I went to film this video that I can’t find my stash of carriage bolts.
I am not a seeburg pro therefore I know the words I use are not always Seeburg Jargon. If someone more knowledgable than me will make a youtube video on moving a jukebox I will be glad to point people to that site. Since I couldn’t find a video I just made one and here it is with no edits.
Let me know if this helps. If you want to remove the mech before moving the juke then watch my other boring video!
The reason for bolting is to secure the Mechanism Carriage (the part that travels back and forth playing records). If you don’t secure the Mech Carriage with these 2 bolts then you are asking for various bad things to happen when you move the juke.
Since this specific USC1 model weighs somewhere around 375 pounds; I prefer to remove the very heavy mechanism from the box and move two lighter weights separately. The other video explains how I remove the whole mech from the jukebox.
1968 Triumph TR6 Trophy Sport 650cc Single Carb-fully restored
This bike was a barn find and was resurrected by a professional restorer in Florida. I hired him two years ago to do this restoration. Lou did a magnificent job and covered every detail possible. The bike comes with all of the invoices for the various services and parts used to create what I would rate as a 9+ restoration. I would give it a 10 except I am not an expert. I am sure a true aficionado would find some bolt that was not genuine or something.
What I do know is I wanted a bike that was the same as the original I rode in High School. This is as good as I have ever scene. Everything was in place when I took delivery and I added two minor things. Lou did not coat the inside of the tank and he did not include the center stand. I call her “Sporty” and she has a center stand and an inner tank coating to protect her for decades.
I am going to look through the invoices Lou sent with the bike and do my best to cover what all he did on this restoration. It will just be a laundry list with pricing because I really don’t know what it all is. I ride bikes (only a little over 700 miles on her since completed in 2015) but I know next to nothing about working on these bikes.
What I do know from decades in business is what the value is here, so let’s be clear…..I will not be hustled out of this bike….I know what I paid and have been watching sales on these English beauties for years.
