Re: ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

Problem solved!!! The tonearm wire runs through the turntable to the tonearm arm bracket and clips to the bracket. There was a twist in the wire just enough so when the record started playing the twist in the wire created tension on the tonearm bracket and kicked the record back to the beginning.I t...

Re: ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

The tonearm wire is actually a little smaller then what was there,but the original was a cloth insulation and the new one is a plastic which might be contributing to my issue. It does seem to be pretty flexible,but it apparently it only takes one tiny little thing to make a difference

Re: ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

Yes, I am kind of wishing that I didnt pull the tonearm off,but I felt at the time it was necessary to see how the wire was placed. If I had known it was going to be such a touchy situation I might have tried to put the wire in without the removal. Well I am hoping somehow I can figure this out.

Re: ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

Tried again to figure out the problem without any luck. The tonearm will come down and set on the record and start to play and after about 30 seconds it will slide back to the beginning. Really not sure what to try next. I am going to post some pictures of the tonearm and the tonearm off, you can se...

Re: ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

I made note exactly where the wire was before I took it out and the new wire went in exactly how the old one was.Thats part of why I took the tone arm off to see exactly how the wire was placed. The wire I purchased was from a guy who said this wire would work great in the jukebox and says he has be...

Re: ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

I got the new tonearm wire last light and I unsoldered the original pin and clips that were on the old wire and soldered them on the new one. Then I ran the new wire through the wire harness on the jukebox and I am back in business as far as that goes. The only thing I am having an issue with is tha...

Re: 1953 AMI E-120 Restoration

Looks great!!! You have put a lot of hard work into the jukebox. I have an ami E-120 as well and I am in the process of replacing the tone arm wire. Could you tell me what you ended up using ? There isnt much out there as far as I can tell for replacement. I did find someone selling some wire on eba...

Re: ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

Thanks, I planned on making note of the wires when I pull them out of the plug . I would rather play it safe and put new wire exactly how old ones where in the same pins. I havent ordered the wire yet I just want to see what it out there before I do. I did order some new drive belts after noticing m...

Re: ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

Thanks for the info. The original wire that I pulled off was 1 insulated wire inside with braided copper on the outside of that then a cloth outer insulation .At the plug the insulated wire goes to 1 pin and the copper braid goes to the other.

Re: ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

I found cable available on ebay I will post below. I am thinking this will work. Then I am guessing I will have to use the original 2 pin plug that goes to the amp and unsolder old cable and solder in new. I just want to make sure I am getting the right items plus I dont want to have to do it again ...

ami e120 jukebox tonearm wire replacment help

I have an ami e -120 jukebox and noticed lately that the sound would cut on and off (usually after a new selection has been made) after doing some poking around I had realized that the tone are wire has a weak spot in it. The weak spot is in the cluster of wires that constantly go back and forth aft...

Re: 1953 ami e-120 jukebox no sound

I talked with some one about the caps and resistors. I pulled the amp I realized that all the caps and resistors had been replaced. He had said to check and see if any of the resistors where open meaning to take my multimeter and put the prongs on either end of the resistor in ohms . If the resistor...
