AMI H & I Speaker Crossover question
by M De Simone 19 Aug '26

19 Aug '26

I am currently working on an AMI model I and although I’ve worked on a few of these I never really tried to figure out the crossover since the jukes always sounded amazing. I have one here that was missing the crossover and speakers but had an old RCA full range speaker connected directly to the amplifier. Surprisingly it sounded great! I have now found and installed the correct crossover and a 12” speaker from the model J, which has the same part number. I purchased a horn speaker “ for Model H-I” from eBay but received a piezo aftermarket horn speaker. Which I am going to replace! But I wanted to see how it would sound and it’s not good. What I don’t understand is the simple crossover design. The 3mF capacitor (which is now new) goes between the input and the 12” Low frequency speaker? Does this not block some of the low end frequencies going to the 12” speaker? From input to the tweeter there is a 15 ohm resistor and from input to the black/common connection there is a 33 ohm resistor. This makes little sense to me and would have thought this is wrong but I’ve looked at others that sound great and this set up is correct. Is there anyone that could enlighten me as to why it’s designed like this? I always thought the capacitor should be connected to the high frequency speaker. (I really miss Jim Alexander, he would be all over this) Thanks, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

Seeburg HF100R Side Speaker Color
by Tony Miklos 16 Aug '26

On the side speakers, in pictures I see either cream-colored or brown grills. Did they make them both ways? I think the brown on the light-colored sides looks nice, but others think it stands out too much. What's up with these grills? It doesn't matter what _I_like because I plan on selling it. And while I'm at it, for another R that I plan to keep, has anyone used the Victory Glass vinyl adhesive burl kits, and how does it look? Thanks, Tony

I just took on a F120 AMI and all the lamp cord wiring is of course cracked, brittle, with exposed conductors. I don't recall the correct wire size for the loom bundle that attaches to the mech. What have you guys used ?? Thanks! Rick

Wurlitzer Tower “Rainbow” Won’t Play CDs
by parrishmeister＠gmail.com 11 Aug '26

11 Aug '26

Hey! I bought a Wurlitzer Tower “Rainbow” CD jukebox from someone that said it worked but needed a new laser eye. I’ve been cleaning it up And troubleshooting and having a really hard time figuring out what I should actually be looking at. The issue is the selector will allow me to pick a CD and track and it will place it on the turntable but it never spins. After about 30 seconds it puts the CD back. The jukebox uses the Philips CDM12 Industrial or “Pro-Audio” player and I’ve used the built in tests to verify the laser eye actually moves and attempts to get focus but it will just bump up and down during the “93” self test. When I do the “95” test that is supposed to spin the spindle, nothing happens. I soldered on some test leads and I see a constant 4.6 v being applied to both solder joints of the motor. If I apply 1.5v to the leads I can get it to spin so I don’t think the spindle motor is bad. I’m getting frustrated and just don’t know where to start. Would a bad laser eye keep the disc from spinning? I ordered a replacement from eBay just to see if it helps but I have no idea what I’m doing. Anyone have any suggestions?

I checked the fuses with a meter and twisted the tubes and replaced the ballasts. When I scan, the wheel turns and the turntable turns too. But in operation mode, it doesn’t move when I make a selection. The buttons don’t pop up after being pressed down. It all worked fine before I installed the tube. The tube is dead.
