Since I could not find a manual for my rowe r91 I have a question about the lighting ballasts. The two upper lighting ballasts work great but the lower one is not working I suspected to be faulty starters. What size starters go in this unit? There was a Wurlitzer starter in there and another offbrand starter in their not the same size I was curious. Anything helps thank you.

I can't afford the manual. Otherwise I would've bought it already. I was really hoping somebody with the same jukebox or the manual would be able to answer my question. Thank you for posting the info though i appreciate it.

Rowe uses standard starters for their lights. the long bulbs us FS4. if you have a short bulb for illuminating the keyboard. it should use an FS2. however i ran into a goofy problem where that short bulb on an r84 needed an FS4. Mark

Guys,
All T-8, and most T-12 lamps use starters that are made for the wattage of the lamp--Most major brand lamps list wattage on the bulb--just get the correct wattage starter--or, today, you can get what's called a "universal" starter--just do not expect it to work well on 30 watt lamps--even if it states that it will--I use only FS-4's there--Ron Rich

For the benefit of anyone in Europe all Rowe Ami jukeboxes require that the starters and chokes are 110 volts.

m juke is not right in front of me but the lighting on top used an fs4 however the bulb in front is the same size so I will get an fs2 and try my hand. what happens if I used an fs4 by mistake?

Lamp won't lite--may, or may not "flicker"--if wrong starter is left in too long, it will burn out lamp--Ron Rich
