Rowe Ami R-88 Volume control

Hi, I bought an R-88 Jukebox from Rowe Ami (The 84, brown model) and there's no sound, except a "pop" from the speakers when I plug it in, i read a couple of posts only to see that there's supposed to be a volume control in the back of the machine, on mine there's only 3 loose wires hanging there, a black one, a red one, and an orange one, can anyone tell me how to hook them up on a potentiometer? I would prefer not to buy a 75$ service manual for 3 wires! I tried a couple things but it seems one of them could be a cancel button as the vinyl was ejected as soon as I touched some wires to the pot...
Thanks a lot,
Olivier

Ken Layton:
From Victory Glass Company you can buy the manual very reasonably:

# 70-5765 (R-555) Rowe R-88 Field Service, Parts, Installation, & Operation manual, 135 pages, just $39.95

Strongly advise you to buy it because someday you'll need to order parts, repair something, or replace bulbs and you'll be glad you have it.

I tend to agree with Ken, A few bucks now will save you a fortune in repairs for damaged parts or blown amplifiers or speakers.

You're absolutely right, and I will buy one when I can, but I really can't buy it right now, hence this post, I'll continue to look for signal with my scope then.
Thanks,
Oli

Hello Oliver,

Forget the wiring above the amplifier compartment and make up a test volume control using a 10k log pot and plug into the volume control socket on the amplifier.

You can use the plug that goes to the connection above the amplifierdoor.

Link pins 1 & 5 and connect these to one end of the 10k log pot.
put a connecion into pin 3 and connect this to the wiper of the pot.

We use these to eliminate any faults in the jukebox wiring.

Regards
Alan
