I am in need of the power supply for an AMI G. Mine is missing. I never paid much attention and don't know what other model power supplies will work in it. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

AMI E 80 sound issues with magnetic cartridge upgrade
by joeymcd 11 Oct '25

11 Oct '25

I have a problem with an AMI E80 making a resonating sound while scanning. I just installed an Audio Technica AT3600 magnetic cartridge. Tied the positives together and negetives together at the cartridge. Installed an external preamp as well. Sound and tracking are good. No issues if it scans a couple selections. Problem is when it is scanning distance it picks up a very loud resonating sound that stops immediately when the needle lands in play position. Not sure if the mute relay turns on or off in play position but when the needle lands and the click of the relay is heard the loud resonating stops immediately. Amplifier has been rebuilt DD model previously and sounded decent with the crystal cartridge but wanted to upgrade for lighter tracking and stereo compliance. No loud resonating issue at all. I have done this with an AMI F model with no issues. I know the F model uses an amplifier that is designed to use a magnetic cartridge but wired the cartridge the same way. Thinking that something is being picked up and amplified from the scan motor?? Not sure so any advice would be helpful. Joey McDonald

My machine was set to free play when I purchased it. After many years it no longer moves to a selection. Any thoughts as to where I should look for the problem? Thanks.......

25 years in the jukebox repair biz and of all the motor capacitors I've changed out it seems the 100R models have been the most common to fail. Has anyone else experienced or found this to be true as well? Not that it really matters more curiosity than anything Regards, Rick

SMC2 mech problem/ Ron Rich Gen2 MPU
by Kent Z 01 Oct '25

01 Oct '25

My sons SMC2 was recently moved. It has Ron's GEN2 mpu. I have RTFM and Ron was adamant about making sure the carry over switches are open and never close on the 2 Limit switches that control the reversing the mech at end of travel L/R. or the mech will have motor run on and the mech runs past the ramps and crashes at the ends. This 1 does that and I made sure they r open. I found they must have tie wrapped the mech for travel in the Detent sw area and it was bent and not functioning. I bent the bracket back and I can see the sw open & closing. If I run Ron's test #1, it does not show the pulse timing . Instead it just shows mech position , like 135, etc. Is the timing of the detent sw critical that would cause this not to work? Any ideas to try? Thx, Kent
