Cartridge terminals
by Tony Miklos 06 Jul '24

06 Jul '24

Does anyone have a good source for the round terminals that slide onto the cartridge pins? I looked around and it looks like the going rate is about $5 for four! (plus shipping) It used to be that new cartridges came with them but not anymore (for a lot of them anyway). I thought I'd find something like 100 for $10. Maybe the return of the vinyl drove prices crazy? Tony

Problem with AMI-C Transfer Motor
by Alan Segal 05 Jul '24

05 Jul '24

I am in the process of getting an AMI C jukebox to work. I am having a problem when the transfer motor attempts to lift a record. It stops at about 45 degrees, and I can manually help it finish (not sticky, moves evenly). I have previously cleaned out all the old grease from both record rack and transfer motor. I am wondering if anyone has any suggestions. I did replace the selenium rectifier with a single phase bridge rectifier (35a, 1000 V) [no resistor added]. I am really anxious to get this tall boy working, so any ideas on how to get that transfer motor to work better would be appreciated. <https://www.taydaelectronics.com/single-phase-bridge-rectifier-mic-35a-1000…>

Sound went out suddenly on my 1428. The amp has been re-capped and tubes replaced 3 years ago. Wondering if there is a mute switch I might could check and it’s location. Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS

1015 Fiber gear
by M De Simone 29 Jun '24

I just put a new main fiber gear in my W1015 and was wondering if it required any lubrication? I put a few drops of oil on the worm gear but I’ve heard different opinions over the years so now that it was my turn to do this I thought I’d ask the option of the group.

Rock-Ola 442 magazine drive gear replacement.
by Ug Lee 27 Jun '24

27 Jun '24

The time has come. The time to replace the magazine drive gear (P/N 43313) in my good ol 442. The gear presently on the machine - it has two tracks for the odd/even alternating dog (the football) to switch back and forth between - part of that "wall" separating the two tracks somehow got bent up right at the "crossover" and the dog just stops cold right there and eventually the mech fuse blows. That's just background though. I have a replacement 43313 in my little hands. I'm pleased to have it. BUT....as I look at this job....it does not look fun. Am I gonna have to take out the whole mechanism? Sure looks like it. There definitely isn't enough room in the cabinet to slide the magazine off of the main shaft. I don't mind taking out the whole mechanism, I'm not intimidated by the prospect (well maybe a bit), but it's hard to picture the process in my mind. Am I gonna need some kind of hoist? I actually have an engine lift that I use for plucking V-8's, but that seems silly.. No way I'm even starting this project without asking those who have done it before, so I'm throwing it out there! What do you guys do? What should I do? What SHOULDNT I do? Any advice/info would be greatly appreciated. I'm a careful and experienced mechanic and workman, but let's face it, in this case...I don't have a clue! Fire away! Thanks, Eli

Rowe Ami JAL tone arm adjustment
by Hans Minderman 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

Hi All, Working on a Rowe AMI JAL and trying to get the tone arm return height adjusted correctly. According to the manual you have to bend the tonearm rest so that the needle clears the gripper transfer arm by about 1/8”. However on the gripper arm there is small metal sleeve at the position where the back of the tone arm cartridge passes over the gripper arm. This little sleeve is not pictured in the original manual. Does the tone arm height need to be adjusted so that the cartridge clears this sleeve or is it supposed to touch it and it is ok to ‘skate’ over this sleeve? Thank you for your suggestions! -Hans Sent from Mail<https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=550986> for Windows

Capacitor Testers
by Tony Miklos 20 Jun '24

20 Jun '24

My capacitor tester died last week. It's one like this: https://www.ebay.com/p/1801512529 I really wasn't ready to spend that much, especially on something without a warranty. It's almost 45 years old. I do really like it because it's fast! I don't think it takes much more than a second or less to read capacitance and there is no range knob to turn. I do want one that tests leakage at the actual voltage. This one does go up to 600 volts, and that works for me. Is there any others out there that can compare at a lower price or is this it? I think I paid about the same 30 some years ago off my boss who bought a new one. Are any of the hand held ones worthwhile? I have one cheap multimeter that tests capacitance that seems accurate, but it takes way too long to autorange. And of course the leakage test doesn't go up to 600 volts.
