Total novice here looking for some advice please.

I've been "restoring" a Rowe MM4 juke, and recently sourced a R-2179A amplifier which works perfectly in the juke.

Trouble is, it's really really loud.

I have a volume control (marked AMI) which appears to have a twin gang pot and a cutoff switch. There's a terminal strip with green/red/black/white wires attached - black appears to be common, white comes from the cutoff switch.

The amp has a five pin plug with bare-ended wires - white/green/red/black/screen.

Does anyone know how I should connect these wires please? I have manuals, but they don't cover the volume controls.

Thanks, in anticipation.
Marc

I don't know if this helps, but I've now discovered that the amplifier is from a Rowe R-82.

Hi Marc,

Email me with the pre-amplifier number & I will get back to you regarding the volume control molex wiring.

Cheers Alan - email on its way.

Many thanks to ami-man's advice, I now have a working juke. He is a prince amongst men!

hi i have a R-2179A amp and i am tryin to troubleshoot a problem on it. the sound is distorted but it is not the speakers, and there arent any problems with the amp that are obvious. any ideas?

Hi Andrew,

The distortion may be down to two or three things.
1. You have a five wire pre amp fitted and you are trying to contrl it with a two wire control or you are using a five wire control but the cable is not screened.
2. the large smoothing capacitors may be at fault.
3. One of the channels may have blown output fuses.

I hope this helps.

Hi there-

Another new guy on the forum. I have a CMM4 with volume wiring issues. I have some cut wires, and was missing the volume control pot, reset swithch and mounting plate. I have gotten a hold of the pieces I need, but am uncertain what has been cut from where. The plug into the amp labeled volume control has a wire that is just hanging.. The amp is 602-04359. I realize that this is minimal information, but would be grateful for any advice. Possibly photos of the wiring on the face of the amp?
