Rock-Ola 56180-1A amp
by Tony Miklos 11 Aug '24

11 Aug '24

Rock-Ola 56180-1A amp from an Antique Apparatus/Rock-Ola OMT type. This amp had a crackle/rumble on 1 channel with the volume down all the way. Traced it to a tantalum cap with leakage. After replacing it, I could then hear that the other channel had the same problem so I replaced it (I used electrolytic caps, which I didn't think will be a problem) I don't stock any tantalum caps. (yet) Then at the end of a song before it was muted, I heard a very slight crackle, much less but I heard it. While it was playing I pulled the CD inputs and when turning up the volume the noise was louder with the volume up. The amp is loaded with 1uF tantalum caps and I'm wondering if there was a bad batch and I should replace them all. Now I did a search and find that John Robertson here had changed the same two as me (C12,C13) and two more (C6,C7). John, if you recall, are C6 and C7 before the volume control? My AMR manual schematic is really poor and I can hardly read the part values, does anyone have a factory one and is it much better? Tony

I somehow lost the phone number for Jorge from Rock-Ola who works for himself now. I thought I had it in my address book(s) but can't find it. Anyone have his number handy? Thanks, Tony

Philips PRO-AUDIO PLAYER
by Tony Miklos 06 Aug '24

06 Aug '24

OK, I might need CD help after all. For a different box, a guy sent me his player from a Wurlitzer. It's a Philips CD pro-like unit but the model isn't quite clear to me. It just says "pro-audio player", there is no VAU1252 or VAU1254. Anyone familiar with it? Will an early CD Pro laser work in it? Thanks, Tony

Rock-Ola MZ8-1
by Tony Miklos 25 Jul '24

A customer bought one and I've never seen inside one yet. I guess it's touch screen. Will they work with what songs are downloaded on them without being hooked up to the internet? It came from a Texas Roadhouse. It looks like quite a few of these were auctioned off, not sure why. The customer can't tell me much about it except "it's a bubbler". He wants me to come and show him how to make it work. I don't see a manual for it on the Rock-Ola website. Tony

I have a what i guess is the intermix platter on my princess, my issue is i have a few 7” 45’s with the small hole. How do i “disable” the feature that changes the speed to 33 1/3 when those small hole 45’s are placed on the platter? I’d rather not cut a larger hole in the 45 Thx Allen Sent from Altair IV

Would appreciate some pictures from someone who has a WurliTzer 2900, of the fluorescent lamp below the selection keyboard. Would like to see its position and how the end tips are mounted. Thank you Shankar Singh

Another problem child, Wurlitzer 2810 not selecting
by Tony Miklos 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

I have a 2810 in for some work. Got everything fixed and testing it yesterday it suddenly stopped selecting. It was set on free play when it came in and that worked fine. (It had some funny little clip on the free play button to make it stay on.) It was working perfectly. I had tested it for some time, then suddenly when making a selection, the buttons latch in and that's it. Both latch solenoids are engaged and the associated contacts are cleaned and adjusted. I did go through the troubleshooting menu in the manual but didn't find anything. Any ideas? Thanks, Tony

Try cleaning the switches for the relays on the junction box.

LPC 480
by Tony Miklos 13 Jul '24

13 Jul '24

I put a new (used) clutch in because the old one somehow had the worm gear stripped. Often when it went to the right side and then reverses, it gets stuck and just slips. I went over the rubber stop and the reverse trip adjustments and it is working much better, I actually counted and it worked properly 100 times in a row. If I make it change direction before it gets to either end, it changes direction no problem at all, ever. (I hope Ron isn't reading this and knows that I was hitting the reversing switch by hand) :) It was acting up whenever changing from the right side to the other direction but the adjustments cured that. What remains is that if I play the last record on the right, A or B side, it then gets stuck again. Pushing the mech quickly to the left will engage the clutch and all it well until I select the last selection. Any ideas? I'm about ready to tell the customer not to play the last selection! (not really) Tony
