Good reply, Alan.
I see you're a Rowe-AMI man...
I have an AMI "A" (M-o-P) that's crankin' out the hits on 78. Love it. Until the timing goes wrong and the grippers don't retract and it chips the edges of the entire collection. Ouch! BT, DT, got the blood-soaked T-shirt. (

Randy,
What do you do to fix it when the timing "goes wrong" ?

Hello Randy & Ron,

I have never had call to work on one of the 78 players that were fitted in the 1946-7 Model A wasn't this called the Mother of Pearl? this mechanism was still avaiable until the 1953 Model E that had a 40 selection version.

The mechanism I would think operated very similar to the 45 versions of the 50's and were chain driven mechanisms.

I would look at the lubrication and for any wear on the gripper bow assembly and the gearing and any micro switches on the drive chains, I would assume there should be tensioners on the chains, but please correct me if this is not the case, as I say I have never seen one of these only pictures.

Regards
Alan

Alan,
I have had very little experience with the 78, and 45 mechs. of that type, but from what I have observed, the 45 rpm models were just a "shrunkin down", as needed, version of the 78 rpm model.
Yes--the "A" was called a "Mother of Pearl" model--don't know if that was a factory designation, or just slang--

Hi Guys,
My first post seems to have evaporated. If this is a duplicate, please excuse.
The AMI A, "Mother of PLASTIC" had 3-D white bulbous pre-formed plastic frames around the mech window. Backlit by multi-color flourescent tubes. "Jewels" on the bottom were the crowining touch. The Whurly 1015 never stood a chance. (!)
The Record RACK moved forward and back, rather than the phono assy moving.
Timing was dependant on a microswitch deciding when the grippers retracted and "scan began. Learned the value of "sacrificial" 78s.
Still have the 12-record simplex mech and accessories. Hate to see it go to a landfill.
Cheers!

Hello,

I am looking for a Wurlitzer 412 credit accumulator cover. Do you still have one available for sale? Also looking for the bottom (larger) old drip pan.

Thanks!

Randy: I just joined the group and saw your old ad for 412 parts. Perhaps you still have cabinet. If so, I am in need of several pieces of bottom moldings- decorative center pieces, both left and right and the right side bottom molding. Can you supply?
