Begining of the record is cut off

by JPs Lone Brother Pub » Thu Jan 10, 2008 2:10 pm

We have a Rowe AMI R-93 here and it seems that all the records are started about 2-3 lines into the song. I am sure there is a small adjustment that can be made however the book doesn't give any sort of details. Any help would be a great help. Thanks

I would also look at your needle, is it bent? The other poster is correct in telling you to look for the adjustment screw by the pivot. Let the mech cycle to the point of playing the record and turn it off at the service switch, loosen the screw, hold the lower piece and move the arm slightly outward. Now check the outcue, the other end of the cycle, to see if it cancels at the right time. Fig. 3-18 might help, and you are correct, it looks like a page is missing from my
R-93 book.

Hi,

Check out pages 3-14 and 15 in your manual, also figur 3-21.
If your jukebox has always played like you said in your post then do the adjustments.
If it has just started with the fault look at the styli as John suggests or check out that the tone arm cam is not damaged.
