Mills dance master amp
by Hans Minderman 10 Apr '26

10 Apr '26

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.

Rock-Ola CD Fireball
by Tony Miklos 02 May '25

02 May '25

I've never seen one of these before. From pictures it looks something like a CD NSM with the two vertical stacks of CDs. Are they problem machines? Do I want to go out to attempt to fix it and learn in someone's house. Did they make other models like it or was it a flop and discontinued? My gut is telling me to pass on it. It is the floor model if that makes a difference. I think I'm talking myself out of it. I have 50 to 75 total service calls and machines in the shop waiting for their turn. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

That looks like one of them way off to the right of the pic. On 2/9/2025 10:18 AM, Julie Mitchell wrote: > Thanks, Tony. If I were still in Knoxville I would just have you come > look.

Rockola Starlet Mech issue.
by Jukebox Repairman 25 Apr '25

25 Apr '25

Can someone who has a Rockola share a pic with me showing the orientation of the outer cam gear that operates the plunger on the gripper bow?I removed it to free up the trunnion and now I have it out of time. If I could see a straight on pic of the gear with gripper bow fully at rest and / or fully in play position that would be great. This happened to me once a long time ago and I don’t remember how I resolved it. Regards Rick

Another Wurlitzer 24 select question
by Tony Miklos 25 Apr '25

25 Apr '25

If I'm not mistaken, normally the jukes of this era, when the pin goes into the star wheel, the lift, or drop of the selector just barely goes far enough to align with the record trays. On this box, when the pin goes into the star wheel, the lift goes past the center of the tray, almost too far. After adjusting it, it is working well, but not engaging in the center of the tray. So it's working going up and down, but it's a bit confusing why this one goes so far when engaging into the star wheel. Any ideas? -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

Wurlitzer 2900 Amplifier Issue
by M De Simone 25 Apr '25

25 Apr '25

I remember many questions about model 2900 on this forum and now I have a head scratcher, well for me anyway. I’m trying to figure out why relay RY5 located in the amplifier burns up. I have -29.5vdc across it (calls for -28v) and all the voltages around it seem to be very close as well. When I take an AC measurement across RY5 I get 15vac, not sure if that’s significant? It’s been recapped but C35 (3000@50v) is original and tests good with an esr meter. Any thoughts on what might be causing this relay to overheat? I’ve never worked in a model 2900. Thanks, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

Wurlitzer OMT Vinyl
by Jukebox Repairman 24 Apr '25

24 Apr '25

I started troubleshooting this machine awhile back but knee replacement surgery kept me out of the shop for a few weeks. I'm getting around better now and resumed working on this juke. I have determined it was stored in a very damp environment. To date I have replaced the K7 actuator, removed and freed up the frozen carrier motor, replaced one fuse in the amp. Upon power up I have a dead display, and the gripper motor loads, then unloads, the carousel rotates, stops and the gripper motor repeats the same process. This is my first OMT encounter other than replacing K7 actuators for customers which I have done a few of those. Looking for advice on where to go next with this one. Regards, Rick

Wurlitzer 24 Selection
by Tony Miklos 24 Apr '25

24 Apr '25

This particular problem is with the Peacock in my shop. When the mech clutch disengages and plays the record, sometimes it "ticks" from the pin not coming far enough away from the.. (I should have looked up the real part name) but it ticks as it passes the slots in the "clutch plate". It did have a problem with it disengaging too soon but I adjusted it and it now disengages when the turntable lift is at its peak. I had tried adjusting it a little each direction but still it sometimes ticks. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

Has anyone come up with an easy way to free up sticky record trays without disassembling the stack assembly? I'm dealing with a stubborn one that's been sitting idle for ten years Regards, Rick
