Re: Looking for NJ-area repairman for AMI J (and any helpful advice)

Did you try ALL of the people listed in AJ, in NY/NJ ? Seems like there are a lot of repair persons in that area-- Ron Rich I think that list might be out of date, but yes, I have left messages with the people on the list that are within a few hours away, but no one has called me back. (most of the...

Re: Looking for NJ-area repairman for AMI J (and any helpful advice)

Thank you, Ron. I misspoke, the delay is before the scan. Yeah, I didn't think an overhaul for $500 sounded right., but I was wishing that Rob was correct about that. I am prepared to spend more. But I am starting to think that my poor baby is on its last legs. So if I can't get it repaired, what do...

Re: Looking for NJ-area repairman for AMI J (and any helpful advice)

Hi Rob, I only called the repairman "half-assed" because Matt Tech called him that earlier in the thread. It was a joke! Well, half a joke--when I told him about the alterations to the machine, he had no idea what I was talking about, so he really did not have any experience with an AMI of...

Re: Looking for NJ-area repairman for AMI J (and any helpful advice)

OK, I have tried and cannot slip the paper under the wiper, so the pressure seems like it is fine. Since I last wrote, the jukebox has developed more issues. Sometimes a selection is made an it does absolutely nothing. The carousel does not turn, the turntable does not spin. Usually pushing the butt...

Re: Looking for NJ-area repairman for AMI J (and any helpful advice)

Thanks Rob-NYC! OK, I'm going to sound really stupid, but which photo are you referring to? I will do the paper test, and if it the pressure is not adequate, how do I correct? I definitely do not have the skill to work on the steppers and relays which is why I'm looking for a repairman. (Do you want...

Re: Looking for NJ-area repairman for AMI J (and any helpful advice)

Hi Ron--the exact model is a JEJ-200. And yes, Matt, I thought it was half-assed. I expect that this may cost some money. it has had small repairs done over the years, but nothing major. First thing is to find someone who can handle the job, then I will worry about how to pay for it. Any suggestions?

Looking for NJ-area repairman for AMI J (and any helpful advice)

Hello--I have an 1959 AMI model J that I am having problems with. No matter what letter/number you pick on the keyboard, it will only select A1 through A4. Local repairman said it needed a pulse generator wiper blade. I purchased a new part from Victory Glass and repairman installed it. The box work...
