i have a 50s ami f model jukebox which is an american model. i cannot find anywhere in the uk that has an idler wheel for this model. apparently the us models have different size idler wheels. any help would be greatly appreciated. i have tried internet shops etc.
thanks

You might have to send it away & have a new one made in the same size. I'm not sure about jukeboxes, but most turntables I've come across will have the same size idler wheel, but a different sized motor pulley depending whether they're 50 or 60 Hz.
This is one place in the USA that rebuilds the idlers, but there's more places over there I think. There might be someone in the UK that can do them too?

If you get the american drive parts, you also need 60 Hz power to run it.
