Chrome random thoughts
by Nigel Pugh 20 Feb '24

20 Feb '24

Hi All, I think I've been on this site since the beginning and amongst everything discussed, chrome is definitely not at the top of the list. I'm looking at my Rowe Tropicana, the jukebox I have owned the longest. Since 1984. I had it re chromed then, the original chrome was totally shot. I have lost count of the number of Tropicanas I have repaired over the years and the chrome is always terrible on them and much later Rowe's. So from 1964 to 1984 (20 years and terrible chrome). Had mine re chromed in 1984 (40 years so double the original chrome) and it's still 100 percent perfect. So my question is (taking environmental conditions and vandalism and wear and tear out of the equation), did Rowe Ami have rubbish chromers ? Or indeed any jukebox manufacturer? Just a thought.

Wurlitzer Post Cobra Tone Arm Mech Motor Wanted
by Tony Miklos 14 Feb '24

14 Feb '24

Looking for a mech motor and mounting bracket for a Wurlitzer 1800, I don't know offhand what other models are the same. Also looking for a tone arm that will fit into an 1800 but came with a ceramic. I'll use even a newer one that no longer looks similar to the cobra, just so it fits. And it needs an amp also! Something newer is fine. I happened to have a 548 amp and plugged in the mech plug and the machine, well the selector latch solenoid turns on, don't know what older stuff might work And/Or if someone can tell me what models I have to choose from that will help my search. This box came to me missing this stuff. I didn't even notice the motor was missing also. Duh. The owner couldn't care less what the tone arm looks like, although I'll paint it red. As for originality of the amp, she doesn't care at all. I'm actually thinking of using an early stereo amp and making it stereo, but any amp that is close to plug and play will be fine. Thanks, Tony

OT: Mechanical Arcade games
by D. Resor 11 Feb '24

Does anyone remember a semi-mechanical question and answer game? It's been an extremely long time but I also seem to remember it had nixie tubes to display the player's score. I also seem to remember it did not have a CRT either. This particular place I seem to remember had a Seeburg 222. This was in either the late 1960s or early 1970s. Don Resor

AMI F and G crossovers
by joeymcd 09 Feb '24

09 Feb '24

Looking at freshening up a few AMI F and G crossovers I have. AMI F manual page 17 of the sound section shows the schematic and parts. Both capacitors are the same rated the same. The original capacitor is labeled Dry Electrolytic Motor Starting Capacitor 18-22 MFD 115 VAC 60 Cycles and is quite large. Why would AMI use this? Can something like this be used? [ https://www.solen.ca/en/products/dmpc-20 | https://www.solen.ca/en/products/dmpc-20 ] Second is the resistors used to attenuate. One is 18 ohm 4 watt and the other is 33 ohm 4 watt spec given on the parts list. Is resistor type and wattage a factor here? Can this be used? These are exact ohm rating but 10 watt. https://www.solen.ca/en/products/solen-cement-type-wirewound-resistors-wwsq… [ https://www.solen.ca/en/products/solen-cement-type-wirewound-resistors-wwsq… | https://www.solen.ca/en/products/solen-cement-type-wirewound-resistors-wwsq… ] Thanks.

Administrivia: Microsoft mail bounce issue
by Jay Hennigan 13 Jan '24

13 Jan '24

Three days ago, Microsoft randomly started rejecting mail from this list, apparently as well as several others, as some sort of anti-spam measure. This caused a lot of bounces and messages about members getting unsubscribed. It affected hotmail.com, outlook.com, live.com and perhaps a few other recipient domains. I've proactively resubscribed everyone that seems to have been affected. If you find list mail being routed to your junk folder, please follow the link to choose "Trust this sender" which may help this kind of thing from happening again. I have no clue what caused it, and apparently neither does Microsoft. -- Jay Hennigan - jay(a)west.net Network Engineering - CCIE #7880 503 897-8550 - WB6RDV
