Hello everybody,
I am new at this forum and have a problem with my jukebox. I recently got a R84 Prelude, and after fixing the volume control circuit on the amp and installing a new cartridge on the record player, it was working fine. But now I have a problem selecting some records. The problem was probably already there, but because I didn't have enough records to fill the Rowe with, I didn't notice it yet.
When I power up the jukebox and select 100 as a first song, it will not play it. Also, the carrousel will not spin. It will play 101 and every other A-side selection. From I believe selection 228 en higher, it will not play right also. Instead, it picks up a other selection and plays it. In the display I see the selection it picked up, not the selection I pressed.
But if I at the power up of the machine select 200 as a first song, and then cancel the record, it automatically picks up nr 100. When I press cancel, it picks it up again and so on. When I press clear memory and cancel, I have no more problems selecting records. Every record I select also plays.
Does anybody have an idea what this could be? The only thing I have noticed is that the reset butten on the cabinet is not working now, and that the voltage of the backup battery on the CCC is below 1 volt, and that should be 2,4 so I already ordered a new one.
Is it possible that the problems I have are related to the battery? Or possibly some cold joints?
Hope that somebody has a solution, thanks!
Regards,
Misja
