Re: Proper Tone arm wiring in AMI K-200E monophonic

Ok I am a bit confused here now. Thank you for the replies, but maybe my English are just not good enough to understand some terms you are using. What I meant is that sometimes (and during a song is been played), if I make a new selection, the dialing sound from the pulse generator is heard through ...

Re: Ami WQ-200 wallbox blowing fuse...

CAn anybody please tell me what the rectifier and the capacitors are for in the wallbox? are they for the lights??? Cause in a new one I purchased they seem to be missing, although the wq200 seems to operate fine without them... A bit confused here!

thanks

Re: Ami WQ-200 wallbox blowing fuse...

Hello Alan and Rob for your replies, well here is my feedback... Alan yes you were right, the sound is coming from the motor and not the credit coils! And so I replaced the transformer, which seemed to solve the problem (till now). I did another modification by adding a switch to my walbox power, s...

I am glad to see that you have a solution to your problem, If you also use that other wallbox make sure you have a relay on the transformer for controlling the AC control line.

Now about the top dome leds, I just thought it will be better for the top white plastic, since the fluorescent li...

Re: Original fluorescent tube OR LED Equivalent?

Hi to all, I know this is kind of an old post, but I can give some feedback on the subject. I had difficulties looking for tubes for my AMI K, specially a T12, so I used a T10 for the lower front, but since I had some trouble with the ballasts I changed the top dome to led. The problem with ballasts...

Re: Ami WQ-200 wallbox blowing fuse...

Re: Ami WQ-200 wallbox blowing fuse...

Thanks Rob, your advice is very much apreciated and very useful. But Alan is right... the buzzing noise starts after the fuse gets blown, and that is a few hours after the wallbox is turned on (with my jukebox of course) and even if idle for all this time! it will become sudenly for no reason!

AMI K 200 ELECTRIC JUKEBOX CAROUSEL select PROBLEM

When selecting a song the rotating arm on the back of the carousel wheel, sometimes gets crazy and starts hitting rapidly different pins, instead of the one selection made. anybody might know the cause?

My guess is that it might be some problem in the pulse converter...maybe a switch blade is stuck?
