DS100 Scan Twice No Selection
by dvachon3＠teksavvy.com 08 Nov '26

Hi All, I’m having the scan twice no selection issue again with this DS100. Using the troubleshooting chart and the test terminals, it leads me to test K where the test lamp doesn’t lite and tells me it’s a write-in issue. Taking some voltage measurements, a few odd things are, the selenium rectifier in the tormat receiver is supposed to measure -25 vdc, I’m getting -40 vdc. On the test points, points G-H should measure -300vdc. I only get that when a record is playing. When idle, it’s only a few millivolts. I have Mike Zuccaro’s DVD Repairing the tormat selection receiver and when I see him testing that point I don’t hear a record playing so I’m guessing that these voltage test are when the mech is idle. The battery trick works and every selection plays. Does that eliminate the detent switch and anything else? All contacts on the tormat selector and in the pricing unit cleaned and checked including the relay which I know is important. When the mech is scanning, the OA2 tubes flicker like they should. I have checked all the caps and resistors in the receiver. All caps are good including the .05 in the pulse amp. I would really appreciate any help or suggestions. I’ve been trying to figure this out on my own for the last few months and don’t have much hair left to pull out. Thanks, Doug

Wurly 3310 Selector issue
by Jukebox Repairman 31 Oct '26

31 Oct '26

I'm Still looking for some assistance with this machine's intermittent selections. Machine is set on free play and when making a selection both buttons latch but stay latched with no movement / action from the mech. If you leave it like that sometimes after a short bit the buttons release and the mech plays the selection. It almost seems like a timing issue but I'm not really a Wurlkitzer guy so I'm looking for help. Unfortunately no manual either not that it would help with my lack of experience with this brand. Appreciate any guidance Regards, Rick

AMI I 1958
by Björn Yvemark 27 Oct '26

Hi! I have a AMI I (120 selections). The record basket turned and I was waiting for the next selection. Suddenly the Record basket stopped, and I cut the power. The belt for holding the records was not in correct place and the reason was that one record was jammed. I have mounted the belt and checked the 3 fuses (and the one inside). When I power up the turntable spins, but nothing else happens! I can make selections but the record basket wont spin. Any ideas ?? Regards/ Bjorn Sent from my iPhone

Seeburg R Electrical Selector Oddity
by Jukebox Repairman 26 Oct '26

I'm working on an R currently. With credit on the machine, the Alpha Buttons do not latch but the numerics do. So in order to make a selection it's reverse of normal. If I adjust the latch solenoid so the stop tab has more travel the Number buttons will latch but then the numerics won't push down. It's like they are locked. I cannot figure out what's causing this issue and I've never encountered this before. Has anyone else ever experienced this or possibly know the cause? I'm baffled Regards, Rick

Selection not working after changing fluorescent tube.
by connie cleek 25 Oct '26

I have a Rockola 444. I changed a fluorescent tube and it it lit up for a second and burned out. I should have done it with the machine turned off, but I didn’t. Since then, when I push the selection buttons, they stay depressed and nothing happens. I’ve checked the fuses and replaced the 2 ballasts. What else should I do to get it working again? The record wheel turns fine when I use the manual scan. Sent from my iPhone

Wurlitzer 780 speaker
by ascott822＠aol.com 23 Oct '26

Speaker blows fuse when plugged into amp. Resistance reading (0) on prongs 1 and 7 of plug indicates an open coil. Is that correct? If so then what are my solution options? Thanks for advice- education. Allen Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS

Wurlitzer 780 speaker

Please suggest options to replace or repair speaker for my Wurlitzer. I want to play it. What modification is necessary to use modern 15” speaker? What speaker would be a good replacement? I assume the original could be repaired by having field coil rewound but imagine that may be above my pay grade. Thanks, Allen Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS

Rock-ola CD carousel numbers
by Tony Miklos 18 Oct '26

Has anyone found a decent set of self adhesive numbers that fit on a Rock-ola CD carousel? Why, oh why, did they keep making them with the numbers on the back? :( Should I continue to use a fresh fine tip Sharpie to write them in? Tony

AMI F-120 Mech Question
by Jukebox Repairman 15 Oct '26

15 Oct '26

A customer brought me a basket case F120 that I'm piecing together. I installed the TT motor mounting plate on the 3 standoffs but when I installed the turntable it hit the top edge of the gripper motor. I assume there are supposed to be shims / washers between the standoffs and the bottom of the plate??? If so, what thickness ? Can someone enlighten me? Nigel maybe? Regards, Rick
