Wurlitzer 3700 Americana
by Tony Miklos 12 Mar '25

12 Mar '25

Hoping someone can help me with this Americana. The gripper arm was over the carousel, but not in line with the slot. I touched the safety switch and the motor cycled and acted normal except the gripper didn't go straight enough to get the record in the slot and would jamb. I was trying to degrease it and get it free when it pops apart and he says he took that clip out of the other end of that. I was able to get it working almost as free as it should be, but when it popped apart the nylon gears got all out of sync. I'll be darned if I could figure out how it all goes together. I should have taken a picture before I left. I've never needed to take one of these apart in that way and I'm a bit lost. -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

I have a RB-8 that has a "4" error which I believe is the RTC chip is bad. I looked in the manual and it showed a 6421B which I haven't been able to find. Does anyone know of a replacement? -- Paul Howlett Pinball Paul's 703-361-0420

25 Jukes for sale in East TN
by Tony Miklos 03 Mar '25

03 Mar '25

This guy wants to sell about 25 jukes, The nicest one there is an AMI Mother of plastic. I didn't check it out well but first impression was great! There is a 1015 and a separate 1015 without a front door, I forget if the mech was there. There is a seeburg C and another 50's seeburg or two. Some of them included a couple 60's rock-ola's for parts, 1 NSM prestige II. Lots more but I was so disgusted looking at them because most had major water/moisture damage. I noticed a few where the cabinet was on the floor most likely the base was rotted out and the wheels went up. I didn't talk to the owner directly, but by the way his helper talked, he thinks he has a gold mine. Hell, he told me the NSM was worth a lot because it was the last jukebox ever made and it was brand new, never played. But it was half full of records! He wants to sell them all in one lot. Like I said, I don't have more info because the condition of most of them was so sickening I couldn't stand it. Here is the contact info I got. Mitchel or Micheal Smith, that's his helper. 828-553-8369 I don't know the exact address, but it's not far from an old bowling alley @ 977 W Highway 25 70, Newport, TN 37821 If anyone strikes up a deal, maybe you can throw a couple parts boxes my way. Some of the parts ones, if I was to get them, I'd leave them sit outside, strip them and take the rest to the dump. Who know what he wants for them all, I just looked out of curiosity, I have zero room to store 1 or 2, (except outside.) -- Tony Miklos Tony's Jukebox Repair

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

AMI F mech cover picture

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
