AMI Rowe R-80 Jukebox Carousel Alignment

[The_Shadow]

I have recently bought a AMI Rowe R-80 vinyl jukebox with a carousel that holds 200 7" singles.

The unit works but there are two main faults with it that needs resolving:
1) When selecting a single to play the carousel loads a single from a selection that does not correspond to that selected, for example selecting J2 the unit will play J7. How do I reset or realign the carousel to ensure that the correct singles are selected?

2) When the single is selected the tone arm and stylus drops slightly short of the single and does not pick up on the groove of the record. This would appear to be a minor adjustment but I cannot find any information or video clips to show me how to adjust this for this model of jukebox.

Any help or guidance would be very gratefully appreciated. I have wanted a vinyl jukebox for many years and, having only very recently bought one, am very new to this and would like to restore this unit into a fully functional state.

Cheers,

Colin aka The Shadow

Hello Colin,

All that is covered in any of the 1100/1200 manuals, from the 1963 Model L through to the 1979 R-83.

I have left you a message on Ebay to contact me.
