AMI F-120 technical question

dove · by **dove** » Wed Mar 23, 2011 12:50 am

I just picked up an AMI F-120 jukebox. I'm a novice so I hope I don't sound too silly here.

Everything works great except that only the first set of buttons seem to work.

The first 12 will click and then play the 45. The other buttons do not seem to activate anything. If I manually press the selection switch(underneath the turntable) inside the jukebox then it will play the corresponding record.

The wiring looks old but in tact. Does anyone have experience with these? I'm hoping this is something simple.

Thanks for your time.

Welcome--
That's usually a broken wire, or "dirty" switch segment, or plug. Got to get out the schematic, and a meter and start tracing till you find the "open".

Thanks for the advice. I'll guess this means I'll finally have to figure out how to use my multimeter.

Do I probe the openings in the terminal boxes(1-20 21-40, etc)?

Any advice on how a novice would get started with this?

About the only answer is--
RTFM's or find a friend to help--we all started "someplace"-- Ron Rich

Got 'er running like a charm! Now the 45 hunt begins.

Any idea what the standard font is on a title strip? I need to make some new ones and they just don't look quite right.

Thanks again
