Ok , I went back to JackosJukes's suggestion and pulled the wiper off rebent them a a higher angle , also cleaned the contacts. this time it stopped spinning and now it seems like it is working normally. 'The selection buttons are working correctly. After cleaning the idle parts and turntable and oi...
Alright I have cleaned all the parts that needed cleaning and oiled the motor and wheel bearing as described in the manual. I put all the pins facing backward and finally it stopped playing all the selections and the transfer bar went back into the correct place. However , after pushing the selectio...
Gregg, the T-T proble can be: -The idler puck is totally hardened and can't get traction. Probably not the cause if it was working recently. Rob Rob-NYC It looks like the idler puck is not getting traction , if I hold it against the motor spindle with pressure it spins at what I"m guessing is ...
[url][/url] Ron, I don't think the machine has been "destroyed".... "ransome" -It appears that the mech has fully entered play mode. If so it also appears that the tonearm is too far to the right. That indicates that it got jostled out of the cam lobe that guides its action. When...
Hi, I had the same thing recently on my Conti 2 ( See my previous post ) It was a sprag relay in the search unit where the contacts were slightly out so not "Contacting" after selection made. If you open the front down and open the grey box and you will see the 2 wiper boards . To the rig...
Hi Gregg, You have me confused--I see nothing about a "scan--armature" on that page--and as far as I recall,the scan control is located in the front section ? Look at the sequence of events in your manual--and-oh, /BTW--be sure that phonograph is UN-plugged, or you MAY be burning up a mot...
These look they are tilting upward while mine faces straight out , Also there is nowhere to find a picture of a continental with full side angle(they look better from other angles) or maybe an optical illusion https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8663/16410988417_f73afa7096.jpg amicont by TREEPORK , on Fl...

Ok I have a manual now. Is it called the Scan control armature ? (pictured closest object to the rear?) , it rotated a couple of times when I pushed selection buttons. Doesn't even do that anymore, Im Guessing it was stopped by a pin Let me know what to try next Thanks Gregg https://farm9.staticflic...
The Ami Continental 2 I recently bought seems to have a title board that looks to be tilted too far forward, it seems like it should lay back more Has anyone seen this before? What is the safest way to tilt it back in the correct position? Thanks Gregg https://farm9.staticflickr.com/8599/16421433988...
I bought a Ami Continental 2 recently , the owner said it worked fine then after the move , the jukebox wouldn't play records anymore. He should have read the sticky about moving these. Plugged it in and it lights up nicely and hums. It is very complete and the wiring looks very good , I dropped a q...
