Mills carousel mechanism dance master
by Hans Minderman 02 Mar '25

02 Mar '25

Hi All, Working on a Mills Dance Master. The mechanism works fine if it has credit for several selections in a row. However when it gets to the final selection (or when it only has credit for 1 selection) then at the end of the record the mech gets stuck just before it reaches the standby (resting position) and if I don't manually nudge the carousel forward less than an inch, there is a buzzing sound from the cut-off box and the changer motor resistor behind the changer motor speed adjusting rheostat overheats and starts smoking. At first I thought this had something to do with torque of the changing motor but since it is changing just fine between multiple consecutive selections I now think it may be a timing issue between some of the switches or something in the cut-off box mechanism. When the chain of the changer motor is disengaged then the carousel moves freely so I don't think that the problem is related to the carousel wheel or the changer motor. Any suggestions will be much appreciated! Thank you, -Hans

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

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.

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

Aaron Heverin's AMI painting notes

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.

Hello, I have a Seeburg KD200H which has been working for 10 years. However, now after making a selection it now plays all records sequentially starting at the position where the mechanism rested ignoring the selection. I have conducted the following: 1. Measured the Play Control 'Sub' and 'Add' solenoids - both 12Ω, 26mH 2. Replaced 12AX7 3. Replaced 56k Ω resistor in TEU 4. Checked TEU1 voyage -300VDC 5. Checked the Tormat return path 190 Ω 6. Cleaned the following: a. Play Control contacts b. Detent switch c. Tormat readout RCA connector d. All relay contacts on the Mechanism All did not fix the problem. I will appreciate your help. Thanks Rod.

Antique Apparatus color cylinder direction

OK, can anyone tell me which way the colors are supposed to turn? Do they turn inward toward the speaker or out to the sides? I got a new motor for the left side and it's turning the same direction as the right one.Which way, well I forget since yesterday. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

Antique Apparatus
by Tony Miklos 03 Feb '25

03 Feb '25

If anyone has an Antique Apparatus CD-Rowe bubbler model, could you check the wiring at the 15 pin plug to the front door? I need to know what color wires are on pins 13, 14, and 15 on each end of the plug. Two or three wires appear switched, the colors (Yellow, and Yellow with black strip, and yellow with a brown stripe and two of them don't match up with the other end of the plug. The customer swears that the tubes used to bubble and the little #73 lights worked at one time. All I can get to work is the bubbles 24 vac but no 12 vac to the lights. I don't think they ever made a manual that would cover the wiring. None that I can find anyway. Another problem is that it is missing the one color cylinder. The customer evidently replaced a broken bubble tube but not the stained plastics. He moved twice since then most likely loosing the color cylinder in one of the moves. I think I can make one but it would be nice to buy one! As for the plastics, Victory Glass is out of what I need, does anyone else carry front plastics? -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

Wurlitzer 3800 selection button issue
by John Fitzgerald 02 Jan '25

02 Jan '25

When making selections on Wurlitzer 3800, buttons A thru V and all the number buttons 1 thru 0 have become really hard to push in. Many of the buttons when pushed make unusual noises. It just feels like they need some lubrication. Over the years, I remember many discussion group members saying not to use WD-40. Any suggestions on how to loosen these up and make them work much smoother? Thanks in advance. John F.

R89 Audio Issue
by Jukebox Repairman 02 Jan '25

02 Jan '25

Still trying to figure out why no audio on this juke. Amp produces "thump" on power up but no audio during play. Central Computer works fine in another machine so not a mute control issue. Took crossover out and bench tested all good. I really could use some help here. Thankfully its my own machine so im not under any customer pressure. Just pulling my hair out Regards, Rick

Seeburgs V200 Stepper problem
by M De Simone 25 Dec '24

25 Dec '24

Today I went (as promised) to a friends place to see if I could get his wallbox working again and spent much time with some success, the previously rebuilt TSR1 and stepper is working now but seems to pick up all numbers in a particular letter group. For example selecting L4 will play all L selections. It also trips immediately when a selection is made. It was getting late in the afternoon and I couldn’t figure it out so left it until I could get some advice. So here I am, What would cause this issue? Thank you, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

Seeburg DS160
by Henrik Niinimäki 24 Dec '24

24 Dec '24

The Seeburg DS160 amplifier makes a special hiss for about 15 seconds every time a new record starts playing. There is a hiss, even if the needle doesn't even hit the disc. If the needle is raised to the beginning of the record after the record has played for a while, the hissing will no longer be heard. In other words, it seems that the hissing somehow comes after the change in the state of the mute relay. New capacitors have been replaced in the amplifier and it works fine after the initial 15 second hiss has subsided. Where could the fault be?
