Re: AMI Model A Jukebox repair

Did you notice / check the position of the 24v power toggle switch on the BACK SIDE of the main control box in the lower left of the cabinet? Have to reach around back to feel it. Thanks for alerting me to that switch. I wouldn't have known it was there since it's hidden. It was on(up). I have dete...

Re: AMI Model A Jukebox repair

I checked the fuses earlier, all 3 are good. I didn't see any additional fuses unless they're hidden elsewhere on the unit. Here is a pic of the "reset" button.....red button on the black relay box.

Re: AMI Model A Jukebox repair

Hitting the reset button has zero effect. It's as if the reset button is disconnected or the system that it resets is completely dead. There is no click, buzz, hum, nothing nada. The track selection buttons on the front give an audible click when hit. The reset button, nothing. I'll have to take ano...

Re: AMI Model A Jukebox repair

In reading the manual I have, hitting the reset or cycling the juke off/on is what it suggests to reset the mechanism. I only see 3 fuses down below on the power distribution box. Are there others besides those 3? I've checked all 3 and they appear to be good, but I will check again because I do rem...

Re: AMI Model A Jukebox repair

I've spent some time reading the manual and becoming familiar with some of the parts inside the cabinet. I haven't been able to definitively ID the 24v transformer that runs the mechanism, but the mechanism is definitely not operational. What I'm seeing is the mechanism is mid-stream in it's process...

Re: AMI Model A Jukebox repair

Ron Rich, thank you for the suggestions. I had a look at the wires this morning, and there is at least one that is kinda crusty and will be replaced. As for your second point, that leads me in the right diagnosis direction and explains why the turn table spins but everything else is dead. It is inte...

AMI Model A Jukebox repair

My Dad bought an AMI Model A Jukebox a few years back that is not functioning. I thought it would be cool for Father's Day to try and get this working for him. I know little about jukeboxes so I'm working from a deficit. What I can say is it does power on when plugged in and turned on. Most of the l...
