Ahh, that's good! I just got a G out of here and I think another one is coming Saturday. I really do NOT like working on them.
Mind if I ask you gents *why*?
I don't mind the G-80s and earlier AMIs with the bad wiring. I first ran into that problem in the early 80s when I imported a truckload of jukeboxes from Chicago - took me five years to fix and sell the fifty machines, of which maybe ten were AMIs including a pair of Conti's! Those were the days!!
Anyway the machines are reasonably reliable, and rewiring them doesn't take that long.
Consider replacing the Cam blade switches with the CAM-1 microswitch option (from the UK) that I sell, that solves so many problems on these machines! No more jammed motors blowing the 8/10A fuse, or readout clearing coils smoking out!
