Rowe Ami R-91 Golden, vinyl an CD

[rufusrabbit]

Hi
I have the above jukebox and although it ran ok when I first bought it it was showing fault 19, now it will not load a record, it picks it up from the magazine, and then places on the turntable, it does this 3-5 times before showing error 39 and stopping altogether. I can put it in service mode and it will them play the record. This happened a month ago, I turned it off, when I went back to it this week it ran fine for a week and now has the same fault - any ideas or help would be appreciated.

Hi rufusrabbit,

I will look at the error codes when I get back to work on Monday.
Some codes stop the operation of the jukebox untill they are reset.

Do you have a manual? if so check out the section that describes the errors and the section on resetting errors.

Hi Mark,

Error code 19 :- Keyboard switch 6 always closed.

The computor thinks that this switch is always closed this could be down to:-

A. A defective computor
B. A defective Digitai Display
C. A defective Keyboard
D. A short in the Computor-to-Display harness
E. A short in the Display-to-Keyboard harness.

Error code 39:-

Transfercycle started, cam moved off inner cam switch, and Outer Cam Switch record placed on turntable;however, the signal stayed high (quiescent) for longer than 30 seconds. This error will cause phonograph to shut down until power is turned off and turned back on. Turn power on and refer to " Transfer starts and runs continuously" in Trouble colume of MODULAR TROUBLESHOOTING CHARTS.

The Chart states possible causes:-

A. Wiring to Outer Cam Switch
B. Outer Cam Switch
C. Central Control Computer
D. Wiring from CCC to Mech Control
E. Mech Control Board
F. InnerCam Sw. N.O Contact shorted to common
Open Circuit-Outer Cam Sw. Common

I find these switches spade connections can short out.
