Use a meter to check this, or call your power company--you should set this as close as possible to the power supplied.

What you REALLY need to do is monitor the line voltage out of the step-down transformer--it should equal the stated voltage on the ID tag of the phono--too high, or too low, will "burn things out"-- Ron Rich

IMHO, "assuming" is the most dangerous word in the world ! Ron Rich

The jukebox is running alright on 220 volts its giveing out a horrible humming thou the speakers unfortanly, and its been concluded that a fuse has gone bad in it wich prevents the jukebox mechanics from moveing, is that true?

Hi
You will really have to go through the manual and check the various fuses and breakers in the machine and get familiar with the cycle of operation, The hum sound could be a faulty amp, mute relay, bad ground connection and so on.

Sir,
I mean no dis-respect, but, IMHO, you will need to find someone with more mechanical/electrical skills then you seem to possess. You will also need to obtain an Service Manual Package, read, and understand it , prior to doing anything more to that phonograph, as I fear you are doing nothing but damage. I strongly suggest you remove power from it , wait for the manual package, and help. Please read above "attn: Newbies"--
