ami-man's advice on Rowe Ami jukeboxes
Ken Layton:
The mechanism control board could have a problem.

Hello Alan,
I've been tinkering with my Rowe Ami R-81 jukebox on and off for a few years now and I am wondering if you could help me out with a couple issues I'm finding. When I bought the juke years ago the tonearm/cartridge was loose in the unit. After replacing the stylus with a new Shure, I soldered the tone arm wires back into place, but now I believe I've done something incorrectly. I have the manual but can't find a schematic for the wiring from cartridge to the amp. Do you have any knowledge on how the tone arm is wired or even a close up picture of the tone arm and cartridge wiring? I am also hoping you could show me what the proper tap setup on the output looks like. As of now I have the connections made at E6 on both the left and right channels. Only the left channel seems to be working. The manual states to attach one common lead to E1, however I do not see another lead coming out from underneath the transformers to attach to anything. As far as I can tell I have one red lead and one brown lead. I believe the previous owner may have tried to replace the internal speakers so now I'm trying to sort through what was done correctly and what needs to be repaired. If you have a photo of proper wiring for the top speakers that would be appreciated too. Thank you for any wisdom you can bestow.
Thanks again,
John

Hello all,
I recently acquired an AMI R-83 that has an issue with the carousel. It does not spin under its own power at all. If I move it by hand it will grab a record and place it on the turntable and play the record. The belt appears to be intact as well. I am at a loss as to where to start with this issue. It also has some other minor issues with audio volume control, it is 100% or nothing but at least it plays. Any recommendations on getting the carousel to turn would be appreciated.
Thank you,
John

I have a JAL that won't change records. After playing a 45, the carousel rotates but stops and plays the same record again. We've had it a few years. Other than cleaning the stylus, we haven't done anything to it. It worked fine until it stopped changing records. I'm sure there must be a post on here somewhere that addresses this problem but I haven't been able to find it. Thanks for any help you can provide. I am ordering the manuals for it but I'm not sure if they will point me to the problem.

Hi, I have an rowe-ami R88 jukebox. It's started to develop an electrical pop that seems to get worse the longer it's left on. It can happen if a record is playing or not.
I'm starting to recap the amp and working my way through it but I'm unsure about the large smoothing capacitors
They are 4700uf 50v. Do I just unsolder the red wires and run a new capacitor from the red wires to any of the black wires that are connected for each of the capacitors?
