Shure cartridge and stylus
by Federico Croci 21 Mar '23

21 Mar '23

Hello everyone! I found a Shure M44-7 cartridge installed on my AMI Continental 2. I'd like to fit it with a N44-C stylus, as some of the 45 records I use are obviously not in very good conditions; I'd like to find out if I can reduce the skips and jumps I have when playing them. My question is - if I install a replacement N44-C stylus on a M44-7 cartridge, I'll have the correct tracking force for the N44-C stylus, or I should install it on a M44-7 cartridge for better results? I'm interested in the tracking force alone, small differences in audio quality does not really matter. The tracking force should be a matter of the stylus installed, not the cartridge, am I correct...? Thanks...! -- Federico Croci wiz(a)tilt.it www.tilt.it

Tri Flow as a record lube
by wschaefer rileycopc.com 20 Mar '23

Hi Jim, Tell me more about using Tri Flow as a record lube. I too have noticed the white dust on my Eric 45s but have just lived with it. Does Tri Flow negatively affect the needle?

You can watch record dust appear as it plays. Someone here mentioned using "tri-flow" as a lubricant for polystyrene records and I've been using it with no issues.

Thanks for the infos... yes, I'll go with a C stylus. My Conti2 is from Microtecnica, very nice jukebox, but not easy to adjust to play fine.. I'm also looking for the two metal bumpers bar in the back, they are missing. Maybe someone made some replacements...? Bye, -- Federico Croci wiz(a)tilt.it www.tilt.it

Re: AMI Continental 2 Amp R2777B output tube type

Hi Jay, I have added pics to my Google Drive, here is the link - Hopefully works ok. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1DTal-_lQXpSz-hBsA4dcv0DcAt4E2wqt?us… A bit of History, I purchased this Amp and Crossover from the USA to replace the missing audio gear as the Jukebox had been butchered and didn't have any audio gear in it. Hopefully those pictures show enough detail?

Wurlitzer 780 noise
by ascott822 19 Mar '23

19 Mar '23

My 780 has began making a terrible clicking/clacking noise as the record comes up. Sometimes it clears up. Recently it continued until the amp fuse blew. Record continues to come up and play but of course no sound. Suggestions as to where the “bug” is? Thanks Sent from the all new AOL app for iOS

AMI Continental 2 Amp R2777B output tube type
by Iain Jamieson 18 Mar '23

18 Mar '23

Hi Everyone, I have an AMI R2777B Basic Amp plus the R2728A power amp. Screened on top of the chassis is 6973 for the output tubes. However, they are not 6973 tube sockets. They are a larger 8 pin socket which looks to be factory installed. Did these amps ever come out with say 6L6 tubes? The wiring on the sockets suggest it may be these as pin 1 and 6 are not connected, but I couldn't find any info to support this. Thanks Iain Pintech Ltd Unit 9, 37 Washbournes Road Wigram Christchurch Ph 0273333716

I have a ton of ERIC reissue 45's from the 80s. They were always well mastered and sound great. More often than not better than "Collectibles" which was their main competitor. My only suggestion is that they really need to publish a list with prices of the NOS titles if they are half way serious about selling them. Even if it's not 100 percent complete or accurate any list is better than no list to help potential customers get started. It's not rocket science.

Ami continental takes record back to the carousel without playing
by Henrik Niinimäki 16 Mar '23

16 Mar '23

Hi, What could be wrong when ami continental II picks up the record on the record plate, but picks it up back 50% of the times, it goes right back to the carousel, and doesn't play it at all. I have adjusted the motor position and miicroswitches correctly. Also replaced the record end microswitch but still doing this? Is it broken micro (number?), or is the new record end switch bad or what else it might be? Transfer relay maybe? Br Henrik
