Where can i get rowe R86 amplifier parts

by Danridge » Sat Nov 26, 2011 3:45 pm

Hi,
I have a rowe Ami R86 jukebox and I need parts for the amplifier 6-07438-04.
The little bulbs that are soldered to the pre amp board at ds1 and ds2 need to be replaced. what are these called and are replacements available?
I will even buy replacement boards if anyone has them.

Thanks,
Dan

Dan,
I have "replacements" for them( contact me off list, if you need them)--I don't re-call the number of the originals at the moment, but using 2 # 2182 wired in series, will replace one of them.
Hint--Glue the new bulbs to the board ! Ron Rich

I had the same problem a few months ago ! I talked to a 30 year tech on Rowe AMI jukeboxes. He told me to use the miniature Christmas light bulbs. Bend the wires out of the plastic socket, straighten them out ,feed them through the 2 holes in the board & solder them in . He told me they had been doing it for years in the AMI distributor he worked for . I tried this and it WORKS ! Use the miniature bulbs and not the led bulbs ! Also I used my hot glue gun ,put a spot on the back to glue it to the board so this won't happened ! Robert

They are, as most lamps used in amps, used as "ballast" resistors.

They are, as most lamps used in amps, used as "ballast" resistors. In this case, they are in the volume control circuit, and are used to "ballast", or "smooth" it out, when the control is turned.
