Best if you have an analog meter, but a digital one works fine as long as it is not one of those auto-ranging ones.Р”Р‡or the folks new to multimeters about the safest use you can put them to for servicing jukeboxes is the Resistance tests. If the reading bounces around while pushing on the microswitch actuator after hearing the click then I suggest you change the micro-switch. The readings should be steady once the switch has 'clicked' (either way). The microswitches that control the selection and cancel of the pins are faulty.Р”В¬heck all the machines microswitches with an ohm-meter. Here are the wiper blades and their rings, you can see these from under the front of the mechanism towards the center.clean the copper rings with an ink eraser and check that the wipers have some pressure on the rings once remounted. The wiper ring blades that connect the ferris wheel drum electricals to the machine are dirty. Removing & replacing pins on AMI jukebox memory.

I think the pictures below are pretty clear, but can expand if requested. Wash the pins in solvent along with the metal spring clips and the holes they fit in (Q-tip or similar) to get them moving smootly with no trace of gumminess. Gummed selection pins due to the use of oil or WD-40 - these must not be lubricated! Here are pictures of the take-apart and reassembly process.

This is both a fire and safety hazard! You MUST replace any brittle wiring within the jukebox! This is a relatively easy job as this wire is normally just used for the lights and the amplifier, and can easily be traced, and replacement wire installed.Р”Р„s for the power cord, be sure to flex it close to your ear and if you hear any crinkling sounds from inside the wire cable, then it too MUST be replaced.Р”В¬ommon problems with the AMI jukeboxes - including the Continental series - include: The 'lamp' cord used in most of the 40's to 60's models is breaking down by now and you will see at the plugs or on the wire itself that pieces of the insulation are shattering off. AU) for this list!Р”Р‡irst looking at an older AMI/Rowe jukebox (prior to 1970's) the very first item to be checked is the condition of the electrical cords within the jukebox AND the power cord for signs of deterioration.

Delivered.Rowe Transistor Cross Reference PDF - thanks to Erwin Boot (Flamingo Records/Auto. Replaced upper fluorescent lamp (F13T5) and 12 blown #73 lamps in lamp strobe display. 09:57:27 Cleaned up connections, switches and pots in amplifier. Still need to work on the amplifier, it does not sound right. Cleaned optic sensor and aligned to home position. Found bad connections and replaced ALL pins, both male and female, in all plugs on Mechanism controller board. 16:12:50 CPU conversion came in and installed. Will order CPU conversion kit to repair computer. Debug CPU and found the microprocessor is bad. Rebuilt power supply and repaired all solder cracks on connectors on CPU, Mech PCB and Credit board. When finished it plays load and proud once again! The workorder service notes follow: The record mechanism needed lubrication and adjustments. The amplifier needed minor cleaning of the plugs, controls and switches. The Mech controller board needed all the soldered pins replaced as well as the pins in the friction plugs.

This one had a bad CPU Chip that required an upgrade since the chip is no longer available.

Here is a 45rpm Rowe Jukebox model R86 we fixed up for a happy owner.
