Title: Working on my Rowe/Ami CD-100a (Problem)
Post by: 00castle on January 01, 2015, 02:31:39 pm
Just wondering if anyone could help me with this and give me a starting point. First off I picked this jukebox up not long ago, decided to start on it and this what it is doing.
Heres a youtube link to a video of what its doing

I got to thinking about this more....the control board on the side of the cd player was removed and I may have plugged it back in wrong...can someone point me to a picture of the correct way to wire this.

The board I'm referring to is mounted on the side of the carousel.

Is there somewhere to have my ccc board and the mcc board checked to see if they are good or need replacing?

can u solder ?
if so chk both for cold solder joint's
very common problem,also replace the battery in the ccu
now from what I have read the new carousel did it fix all your problem's ?
if not what is the machine doing ?

I have went through both boards and reflowed each solder joint. Already replaced the battery. With the new carousel in place as soon as I turn the power switch on the carousel tries to pickup a cd (none are loaded), the arm then rotates to where it would place it on the cd player, the cd lid closes and opens the arm goes back to the carousel, the carousel spins and it repeats over and over.. as I stated earlier all the lights on the mcc are lit.

thats a good sign
snag a manual,go to program,then go to ineliazie..
put a few cd's in first though
not all 100 but say 10 in radmon #'s and see if it pick's them up ?
and rember's then once back in normal mode...
so let's say u place 1 in 10/14/25/50/80/99
like that..once it has scanned them in,and u return to normal >non service<,
it should allow u to pick the cd's u placed in..if so ?
u should be gold...with that said then chk your to board's with the now working
juke box
to find the bad 1-1's

I forgot to add that I had 1 cd in and it grabbed it put it on the player and placed it back in the carousel. I don't think it recognized it because I tried to play it and it just kept spinning the carousel and cycling the arm.
