Hi All,
I’m finishing up a Mills Dance Master, I have it all mechanically working and I’m now ready to work on the amp (an MCP 1644 amp). I have a schematic for it from the manual but it is not very useful because the caps and resistors are only marked with the mills ‘mcp’ catalog number and not with the actual values. The corresponding parts list has the same issue with just listing the Mills catalog numbers and not actual values. I checked with Bill Bickers at Jukebox friday night but he does not have a schematic with values or a rebuilt kit either. If anyone has a schematic or a listing of the caps and the resistors and choke for this amp please let me know. Thank you for your help.

Jamie,
I'll start by channeling our mentors and advise you to get a copy of the Service Manual. In the meantime, I quote from the description of basic operation for what is supposed to happen:
"After the record has been played, the pickup arm moves into the cut-off grooves. At this point an arm on the pickup arm pivot bearing (60) actuates the reversing switch (51). The reversing control relay (70) in the mechanism junction box (46) will then become energized, reversing the transfer motor."
I would start by first checking to see if the mechanism will return the record if you push the record cancel pushbutton. If so, your problem is probably the reversing switch itself. if not, I would look at the reversing control relay to see if its contacts are closing to send power to the transfer motor.

Hello all,
I am still struggling with my AMI D-40. I still cannot get the record to
return to the record rack. I am a novice in most cases however I am
wondering if it could be the mechanism junction box? I'll try to attach a
video if that helps. Please I'll take any help. As always thank you all for
your help and replies.

Hi,
I have a Wurlitzer 2300 jukebox with a broken cartridge. How can I remove
the sound arm from the jukebox so that I can fit a replacement sound box to
it. What kind of sound box should you put in it?
My faithful E120 will not cut off at the end of a record, and the cancel
switch will not return the record to the rack either.
I've got DC --- so after manually turning the armature to return the record
to the rack and sort of "reset" to start, I could make a
selection, and a record would play, but again, no cut-off trip and cancel
button does not cancel. Any ideas out there?
Thanks in advance.
