Mystery AMI

Can someone identify this AMI for me?? T1-1 maybe?
The ad is a little ambiguous, but I'm assuming it does not currently work.
How much would you pay for this non working AMI?

It looks similar to a 1973 Ami R1-1 Heritage, but with different graphics to this one, but I'm surprised that it has a valve amp if it's this late. "Ami-Man" is the "go to guy" for these machines.

I live in the UK, so I've no idea what you'd expect to pay. It looks in very good cosmetic condition and quite clean, but the cost of work that might need doing if it's a "non-runner" would be impossble to assess from the information replied.

Hello Bigdogblues,

The jukebox you are talking about is the 1974 Rowe Ami TI-2 Rhapsody IMHO one of the classic Rowe Ami jukeboxes. The mechanism fits snugly between the two vented bass enclosures, the standard amp was the 50 watt valve amplifier.

The problem with these was the thin casting on the two side arms of the title window and back panel, they tended to break at the angle joint in the casting. If they are broken or you can not source any in the USA leave well alone, all the rest can be fixed.

Regards
Alan
