Can auxiliary speakers be added to a Rowe/AMI Model CD 100K? If so, where do they connect?

hi
What model is your Rowe Ami jukebox, there will be an information label on the back or inside the jukebox with the serial number and the model type. We can suggest a solution once we know your model type.

Testimonial: "Hi Alan Do you have a website etc as I have two jukeboxes both AMI Rowe, one is a Ti2 this has a speed and selector,problem, the newer one I just need guidance on it plays ok this is an R-91 Many thanks Lisa"

You should be able to use any 10" 8 ohm speakers in the R90, try rowejukeboxparts.com for new or get the old ones reconed.

Hello,

Did you lock down the jukebox mechanism (caurosel) during transportation?

Make sure that all the plugs that go to the all the circuit boards are fully seated, Unplug each in turn and plug back in MAKE SURE YOU UNPLUG THE JUKBOX FIRST if this does not sort out your problem look at the microswitches on the transfer motor (this is the mptor that tranfers the CD onto the deck) the spades on the microswitches are uninsulated so they can short out if pressed together.

The other main problem with Rowe Ami is that the boards are prone to the connection pins having dry joints (cold joints in the USA) on the soldinging to these connection pins.

It may be as well having all the boards tested by a Rowe Ami specialist.
In the USA the best guy is Bruce Wentworth (search for his details on Ebay by putting in Bruce Wentworth jukebox) or you could contact me in the UK.

Hello,

I suggest that you get a manual from www.victoryglass.com if you do not already have on, all the instructions for setting up the CCC will be in the manual.

Hello Andy,

Yes I know the 1976 Rowe Ami R-80 jukebox very well as well as most of the other Rowe Ami jukeboxes.

The turntable motor and the lighting work off of the 110 volt output from the power supply.
The other power voltages are connected to the power supply via the molex plug.

Pin 1 30VDC white/red
Pin 2 30VAC yellow/black
Pin 3 Common black
Pin 4 Ground gren/yellow
Pin 5 No connection
Pin 6 Common black

All the voltages are protected by circuit breakers.

I assume that you may be in the UK if this is the case here are my contact details.

Hi Easiest way to check if its the amp. Is to disconnect the internal speakers the connect a standard hifi speaker to it .If that plays fine its not your amp If it is your amp and your on a budget and the repair could be costly. Many times ive refitted a yamaha 250 watt hifi separate amp to just the cd out cable coming out of the cd player inside machines. Easy to do and only costs around £50 for a second hand one. Instead of £300 for the original. Worked for me many times and my customers have been very happy. Hope this helps.

Cheers Dandares

Hi,

The turntable motor on the jukebox range of R-84 to R-93 is none adjustable.
If you are in the USA then the motor operates on 60hz but in Europe it would have to be on 50hz to do this a different pulley is used.

The Rowe Ami part numbers are as followes:-

30791907 Turntable Motor Assembly 60hz
30791908 Turntable Motor Assembly 50hz
21817801 Motor Pulley 60hz
21817802 Motor Pulley 50hz

These can be ordered from a Rowe Ami dealer or you could try www.victoryglass.com

AT THIS TIME YOU ARE NOT SURE IF THE PROBLEM IS IN THE LASER ASSEMBLY, OR THE AMPLIFIER?
BORROW OR RENT, AN AMPLIFIER HOOK IT UP TO THE OUT PUT ON THE LASER OUT PUT ON THE LASER CD OUT PUT. LOOK AT LASER UNIT IT HAS A MARKING ON IT THAT SAYS AUDIO OUT PUT. PUT CABLE TO A SECOND AMPLIFIER.
THAT WAY IF IT STILL FADES. THEN THE CD LASER IS THE PROBLEM . IF THE SOUND IS GOOD THEN THE AMPLIFIER IS AT FAULT
DOCTOR FIX IT

CALL AB JUKEBOX SERVICE--ASK FOR BRUCE--TELL HIM LES FROM RMC VENDING SUGGESTED YOU CALL HIM.-

Hello,

You say you do not have the digital display lite up, have you checked all of the breakers on the power supply?
If not do so. Rowe Ami jukeboxes are very prone to dry joints (cold joints in the USA) this is cracking around the soldered pin on the connections to the boards.
If you can solder correctly then check out the printed circuit board on the power supply. I would retest and see if the display now lights after correcting a fault on the power supply.
If that has not made any difference then proceed to the Mechanism Control Board and the Central Control Computer (CCC) and check again for dry joints.

If you can not solder with any confidence then send in your boards to a Rowe Ami specialist for testing/repair.
