Pulling AMI F, G, ... Buttons
by Tony Miklos 27 Feb '25

27 Feb '25

Does anyone have a fairly easy way to pull the buttons so I can glue them on again? I don't have one, but I'm going to order and try a computer keyboard button puller. I don't know if it will be strong enough. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

AMI F mech cover picture

Hi, if someone could email me a photo of the right side of the mech cover I'd really appreciate it! I guess I'm lucky the left side and the top are there. I suppose other models are the same but I never really paid attention to them. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

Another AMI F question
by Steve Wahl 19 Feb '25

19 Feb '25

While the subject of AMI F's is on people's mind, I'll bring a question about mine up: My F120 is free-played (credit counter always says there's some), has and it has become a bit persnickety about whether the selection buttons will register. Seems to be different depending upon the selection. Sometimes it takes a lot of selection button presses to get the finger to shift, sometimes only once. The selenium rectifier has already been replaced with a silicon diode, so I'm pretty sure my voltage is good. Is there anything that can be done to lengthen the time that the pulse is applied to the coil that pulls on the selection finger? Thanks, --> Steve -- Steve Wahl steve(a)5wahls.com

AMI F
by Tony Miklos 19 Feb '25

19 Feb '25

I do a lot more repairs than restorations, but I have an AMI F in the shop that the owner would like it partially restored. It appears that it will be one of the easier boxes to restore, I'm I right? I've done other boxes that are more difficult, and this sort of looks *almost* easy. Does anyone sell stencils to paint the Multi Horn High Fidelity on the top grill? -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

Wurlitzer 2150 Mechanism Slip
by Iain Jamieson 18 Feb '25

18 Feb '25

Hey Everyone. I'll try to describe this as best as possible. I am working on a Wurlitzer 2150. I had pulled the mechanism apart to clean it all down. It was caked up and the reversing pawl wasn't engaging. I have it all back together and an issue has just come to light. When the mechanism is scanning, the friction spring drive between the main toothed cam and the selection lever/basket drive lever is slipping. If you help the basket along while it is scanning, it will select and play perfectly, just that it won't do it under it's own steam. Have I missed a shim possibly around by the big coil spring, or do they stretch and the result is it slipping? I'm trying to think if even a missing shim here would even cause this fault as it is just a tight fight over the shafts. I guess this was type of a clutch system so if something got caught up while scanning, it wouldn't damage the drive gears Looks like I'll have to remove the mech and tear it down again, but any advise would be helpful. The main toothed gear is not the original that it had in it when it arrived as it had a broken tooth. I used one out of a stash that I had been given years ago.

Seeburg 100B
by Julie Mitchell 16 Feb '25

16 Feb '25

My Seeburg isn’t picking up selections, and the player doesn’t move when I use the switch. Is there anything simple I can try to get it moving again? I have the service manual, but I typically pay people to work on it. Thanks in advance for any advice -Julie

I used to be in touch with him. I tried a couple emails I had for him but no responses. He had great knowledge on the AMI F and G models. Joey McDonald Aaron helped me many times on my Ami C and F projects, then I lost touch with him. Steve Wahl had last been in touch with him in 2018, at this email address:aaronhev@gmail.com I didn't get any replies from there. Not wanting to start any rumors, but I have a bad feeling about Covid in this case. I plan to write him a letter at: 273 Homestead Dr, North Tonawanda NY 14120 -John Singleton

Aaron Heverin's AMI painting notes
by David Breneman 10 Feb '25

10 Feb '25

Since my post containing Aaron's notes fell into the administrator-approval black hole, I cleaned them up a bit, added some illustrations, and linked it to my jukebox page here: http://tildebang.com/jukebox/index.html It's at the bottom of the links there. So feel free to enjoy the other esoteric information on your way. : -) If you get a security warning, it's because I pay enough for domain registration and web hosting, and don't want to pay more for a needless RSA cert that some browsers (Looking at you, Safari) seem to think is essential. Just click to proceed on to the web site anyway. I don't know where I got the illustrations. I've had them for a long time. If they belong to someone here I beg your indulgence.
