AMI Continental 1 stops at all records then rejects them immediately
by M De Simone 13 Jun '25

13 Jun '25

I have a Continental 1 which was working fine and I decided it was time to replace the ac chords on the mechanism. I removed the mech, removed the turntable and the gripper motors, replaced the zip chords and put it back together. It started picking every selection and immediately rejecting them as soon the needle made contact so I figured I had to reset the transfer motor as per the service manual. I did so carefully and adjusted all 6 microswitches but the problem still persist. It also seems the gripper and record are a bit out of alignment. Before I start adjusting everything and potentially worsening the issue I thought it best to deal with the selection and rejection issue first. I have reread the manual but still have no idea what could cause this? The end of record switch is not activated. Looking to the group for some guidance here.

Rockola 490 Amplifier Transistor
by M De Simone 07 Jun '25

07 Jun '25

I’m out of my “tube amp” comfort zone here but, a very good freind asked if I could help him out. The amplifier is from a model 490 and the complaint was no sound left channel. I have been through the amp and found 2 blown fuses F3 and F4 which relate to the left channel and 1 shorted output transistor Q15. I know in 70’s Seeburg amps usually the drivers go with it and best to replace drivers and power transistors but in this case all others are fine, hoping someone who is familiar with this amplifier can tell me if there are any other components that would be taken out with this or if I’m good to replace the power transistor and fuses and go test? Also what transistor would replace Q15? Thanks for any suggestions, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

AMI H 200 Selection Issues
by karl hjort 06 Jun '25

06 Jun '25

Hi all, Once again out of my comfort zone. I'm supposed to be retired but every now and then I get talked into something. In this case it is an AMI model H 200 select. I solved a couple of simple issues that resulted from improper transportation. Tonearm had jumped out of place preventing gripper from completing its travel down to the turntable. Records out of place preventing carousel from rotating. After cleaning most of the switch contacts selection buttons latch, pulse generator rotates, buttons release but converter doesn't move, no pins are pushed and carousel does not move. Carousel will rotate using scan button. If I manually push a pin and activate scan button a few seconds carousel will turn to that pin, stop, lay record on turntable and put it right back. Jukebox owner is 30 miles from me so I'd like to be armed with a few idea before going back. After leaving the other day it occurred to me that maybe when I reset the tonearm somehow I snagged the end of record switch into a constate of being closed. Any ideas greatly appreciated. Also I am a recent transplant to SW Florida, Fort Meyers area so all of the guys I used to refer these older electro-mechanical jukebox owners to back in Georgia aren't much help. If there is anyone in the area I'd be happy to pass along contact info. Thanks, Karl Formerly of Columbus Coin-Op Shop

Seeburg M100A Pickering Cartridge
by Andrew Burkhart 26 May '25

26 May '25

I’ve read about the M100A Pickering cartridge, it needing to be rebuilt, and I have questions. Will all original carts need to be rebuilt at some point? What fails in the cart that causes it to need rebuilding? After a proper rebuild (say from Wes-Tech Services) has anybody had to have it rebuilt again? How long will it last (very roughly) after a rebuild? Besides Wes-Tech, who else rebuilds these? Every now and then there’s someone on eBay selling some sort of goop and instructions to rebuild this. Anybody here go this route? How well did it work? My cartridge is still working and I believe it has not been rebuilt since it has the original black rivet. I may have read about some of this in the Jukebox-list archives before they were lost. Hopefully, the responses will help add this info back to the group. Andrew

Seeburg KD amplifier bench test
by M De Simone 25 May '25

25 May '25

Can I bench test a Seeburg KD amplifier? I’ve never attempted it before. I have a jig setup for testing other Seeburg amps, it’s plug and play, I have the whole back door. It seems that if I just attach speakers, an input and plug it in it should be the same but thought I’d check here to see if my thoughts are correct. Please let me know if any of the fine members here have done it. Thanks, Mauro Sent from my iPhone

Q160 pickup past A1
by jukeboxbob＠juno.com 23 May '25

23 May '25

HI Yes I have owned the jukebox for years. I recently had the mech out of the machine because the record transfer arm was seized on it's pivot point. I gave the mech a good lube job. It sat not used for a couple of years. I guess I could have disturbed the contact block. I'll check it out. I have the service manual. Thanks Bob

Rowe CD100 Mech Control Computer
by karl hjort 22 May '25

22 May '25

Hello All, Tried to search archives but it refuses to load. I'm sure I'm not the first person to plug in a proplayer back wards but I bet I'm the first person who sure as heck knows better and did it anyway. Back before I retired when an employee did it I had plenty spare parts around, swapped it out and had another employee fix it. Things are different now and I did it to TWO computers before I realized what I had done, and this is my sister's jukebox. I'm fresh out of spares and am hoping someone knows exactly which part I let the smoke out of so I can get her back up and running quickly. TIA, Karl, Formerly of Columbus Coin-Op Shop
