HELLO, a freind of mine was moving and he wanted to get rid of this juke box he had stored,asked me if i was interested i said yes. he said it use to work, but hasn't played it for a while. so i loaded it on my trailer and brought it home be careful hauling... when i got home i let it warm up my shop and plugged it in and the lights come on and i was excited! so i had a few 45's and loaded them in and the arm would pick them up but turntable wouldnt spin. my wife came out and spun the turntable and the dang thing started playin. she said that would be $60.00 bucks...{theres a smart butt everywhere} so at the end of the 45 it pics it up and puts it back but grabs it again and puts it down and starts playing it again. any ideas whats causing this? left speakers work fine but the right ones hardly work is this a amp problem? it's been a long time since i have heard a 45, its really neat to hear them again. i always wanted a jukebox since i was a kid, now that i have one i really want to get this goin. i think it might be wired to play free not sure any help would be really appreciated....thanks kev! i am defintely newbie, ready to fix it!

First you'll need the manual set from either alwaysjukin.com or victoryglass.com

Hi Kev,

I guess the jukebox needed a woman's touch.

From your pictures I can tell that your 1972 Rowe Ami MM-6 Superstar was fitted with the Silver Sage front panel.
It looks in reasonable condition but is missing the search unit cover, I would try and locate one of these to help prevent damage to the circuit board. A number of people damage the board beyond repair whilst working on the mechanism.
The amp is the correct one for the jukebox the 50 watt R-4359A, this would have been the standard amplifier fitted with an option of a 100 watt amplifier if required.

As Ken says get a manual for the jukebox, I would do that so you can check all the adjustments on the mechanism and set up the sound system so it sounds correct.

Please let us know how you get on with jukebox.
