Title: Rowe - R84 External phonograph hookup
Post by: jayt on March 29, 2021, 12:22:49 pm

I recently got a Rowe R-84 and was looking at the best scenario to add an external phonograph (or eventually any music player) to it. I have read so much about it that many things are running together now. One mentioned I might have to remove the record motor belt for it to play properly. I do not want this option because I want to be able to use the jukebox too without have to keep modifying things.

I have the Rowe R-84
I have the 125 Watt Stereo Amplifier 6-07438-02

Can someone tell me the best option?

I was searching eBay and found this option:
AMI ROWE JUKEBOX AMPLIFIER PREAMP ACCESSORY BOARD # - 60792702

Is this the route I should go? Would it work for what I am looking for. I asked the guy on eBay and he said he had no clue, he sold for a third party.

Here is the instructions for that kit:

I think it is for models R-89 up thru the CD100F. Check with Bruce Wentworth to confirm. I think your R-84 would use a different amplifier accessory kit and the kit number should be listed in your field service manual under accessories.
