Rockola 418 Blowing 28V Fuse
by mboessen＠ktis.net 15 Sep '25

15 Sep '25

Hi, All: I have not been on here in a long time. My bad back and old age have made me give up the jukes and pinballs. That said, one of my customers is a golf buddy, and he wouldn't take "no" for an answer. Last week he came with his grandsons and dropped off his Rockola 418 with a strange problem. It might play 10 records just fine. Then it will place a record on the turntable, set down the tone arm and blow the 28V supply fuse. It does it in that exact same place in the cycle every time it does it. It took me a while to remember that, several years ago it did this same thing. At that time, Ron, God rest his soul, advised me to check the 3 cam switches. One of them was, in fact intermittent, and I replaced all 3 with higher current rating switches. I have replaced the 28V supply 1.6A slo blo with a 2 amp circuit breaker to save money on fuses. Unplugging the AMP chassis does not clear the problem. If I unplug the Phono Power plug from the power supply, I can reset the breaker and it won't trip again, so I presume the short is in the phono wiring somewhere. I have it in fail mode right now. It would seem I have a short somewhere on this 28v line. I would like to just cave man troubleshoot it by unhooking wires until the short goes away, but to do this without a ton of work and agonizing twisting of my old spine, it would be nice to have a wiring diagram that shows the plugs and wire colors, so I can do that. The Victory Glass manual doesn't have a wiring diagram for it. Is any of you aware of a wiring diagram for this unit? Thanks in advance for any help. Best Mike

AMI Model I Selects 180 Degrees
by M De Simone 13 Sep '25

13 Sep '25

Please excuse all the questions but I’m having a hard time with this one. This is my most pressing issue. I recently rebuilt an AMI model I and when I select A1 it plays C19. It’s exactly opposite A1. Does this mean I put the basket or the pin wheel on wrong? Changing the pin pusher position does not help. Is there an easy fix or does it have to come apart again? Wanted to ask before I tear it down. Thanks, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

AMI I Selection Issues
by M De Simone 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

So I sorted out the previous 2 problems but now pulse is sent to the pulse receiver but the pin pusher or magazine doesn’t turn but the turntable starts. Following the schemagrams it seems like it could be the scan switches but they are hidden. How does one check and adjust them? I had the assembly out when the mech was on the bench and cleaned and adjusted them but I’m thinking something may have gone wrong. If any of the knowledgeable members here have any other thoughts, please share. Thank you, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

AMI model I120 Selectors Dead
by M De Simone 12 Sep '25

12 Sep '25

I’ve just put this jukebox back together, it hasn’t run since the 1980’s. All components have been rebuilt and/or checked out to make sure all switches were making and breaking. I turned it on for the first time and credit lights do not come on but in credit position buttons latch but pulse generator motor does not start. Where does the voltage come from for this motor as I measure 0 vac or dc for that matter. I believe it is an ac motor. I have the manuals but it just explains the sequence from “selection is made”. Anyway I’d like to see if I can get some voltage to this motor. Any suggestions welcome. Thanks, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

HI all, Does anyone have the color codes for leads on a R145 AMI amplifier power transformer and resistance readings for the windings? I've found a transformer with very faded leads and may have to identify them with and ohm meter. Thanks, Dean

Speaker needed Rowe/AMI 400-2719
by Tony Miklos 10 Sep '25

10 Sep '25

Hi, For a Rowe/AMI JAL part number 400-02719 6x9 side speaker. On the speaker is the number L 2719 B with other numbers that don't mean much. Anyone have one? I hate to do it but anything close to a 6x9 with a frequency range of 250cps to 1200cps or close I might take. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

Rock-Ola bubbler light diffuser
by Tony Miklos 09 Sep '25

Does anyone here have this box that they can measure what the plastic above the speaker grill? It's about 3"x 10". I was being brain dead when I was there and forgot to measure it. (it is now dark brown and no light reaches the speaker area) I did a quick check at Victory glass and they don't sell one (probably because it's so simple to make). If I don't get the size I can bring some *special* light diffuser material that I got for free and can cut with scissors!!! (It's one of the plastic layers of a trashed LED TV screen.) ;) Handy stuff to have around, but I would rather use some plexiglass. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

Seeburg SRT1 Jukebox-list] wallbox converter
by Nigel Pugh 08 Sep '25

08 Sep '25

Thank you to Mauro for digging out the SRT1 wallbox converter and taking the photos. I now know that there is such a thing, and need to work out if these work with an STD3 Sunstar. Send me the answer somehow please Ron !! If I can find it its compatible I will buy one and buy the manuals to install it. But what’s puzzling the hell out of me is there is absolutely nowhere inside the Sunstar that it would fit. It’s the standard module size of the SHP3 amp. This is making me think it is not compatible so would like someone who knows, to tell me please. There is no spare rack space. Many thanks, Nigel, UK
