AMI Jukebox Lifter Arm Problem

On AMI jukebox, the lifter arm started to put record 45, in the wrong place, it was stopped suddenly, and now the arm will not move. You can place record on turn table and it will play fine. Is there a fuse that needs to be replaced or what could the trouble be, would really like to fix this jukebox.

Dave - I have the same problem, how do you replace the trip switch? I got the part, but it appears it needs to be soldered?

If the normal cancel button is working then take a look at the tone arm trip switch, which probably just needs adjusting. You can test this by flicking it with your finger when a record is playing. If it works it just needs adjusting to trip at the right place on the record.
The trip switch is located behind the fat end of the cobra tone arm on the back side of the arch, so you get to it by taking the machine back door off.

wow. a jukebox.

ok, the record rises and plays BUT it doesnt finish the song and the arm rests but doesnt go back to its place thus making the system idle...

am i right?

ok, seems like the needle is the one at fault...

to replace the needle only means that you have to replace the whole cartridge as well It's a simple pull-out / push-in fit.

here is a link for the needles. link

here is for the cartridge link

as the way you described it, apparent solution would be to chagne the cartridge.

thanks for using fixya.

SOURCE: Record Changer Arm

When the carousel reaches the correct count, the computer sends a signal to the gripper motor to start it. You could have a bad motor or a bad computer. But!....if the little switch at the front of the machine is in the off position (Gripper motor On/Off) that will give exactly the same effect. It's easy to knock Off when you are loading CDs.

This is a laser unit fault or the pcb under the laser unit. Both are expensive.

Wurlitzer jukebox 1015 78rpm records needle does not start at the begining sometimes starts 1/2" in. How do I adjust tone arm

If you study the screws around the cradle that the tone arm sits in you will see that it is adjustable. This determines where the tone arm is when the record comes up. If the machine was always wrong like this it may have been set for 45rpm records. You need to adjust the whole tone arm post with the screw that goes up into the base of the post..

45 (record) Jukebox. While playing the jukebox was changing records, the arm lifted the record slightly off the turntable. the credits and song selection would not clear off the readout, even after...

Hello,

Have you checked all the fuses or circuit breakers on the jukebox?
Are all the power supply led's lit?
Make sure that all the connection plugs into the boards are fully seated and making good connections.

After checking the above if the fault remains you will need to contact a Wurlitzer service engineer.

Record tracking problem

There is a switch, or lever to a switch, that detects the end of the arm travel. For some reason, it is being tripped early. Try to open it up, and see what you can see. It doesn't sound like a broken part, but a dislodged part, maybe. That's all I remember, only had this problem once, years ago.

I HAVE A 1951 AMI D-80 JUKEBOX,THE TURNTABLE IS JAMMED.

There are two motors with beige/tan plastic covers over them, one on turn table platter and the other on the record changer mechanism table. Take the cover off the one on the turntable and spin the motor by hand. Depending on how you spin it the arm will either go back up or down
