Hi all,

I am restoring my continental 1 (mono amp) jukebox.

I was using my Dremmel to tidy up some laminex that I attached to the side and slipped. I cut through the wires that run between the volume control and the amp.

This has 2 wires in a metal shroud then covered with the plastic cover. I resoldiered the (internal) wires however, the metal shroud was somewhat more difficult, I did however manage to solder these wires together. It looks a bit messy but as I assume this is to shield the internal wires, I'm not sure if it will still work.

Will this still shield the internal wiring or am I better off renewing the whole length?

I cannot check if my soldering has worked as the jukebox is still in pieces. I live in Australia and will need to order from America.

Your opinion will be appreciated.

Regards

Hi Gordo,
What you can do to "clean up the mess" is install male/female RCA audio plugs in that area.
This will provide a good shield, and should not cause you any problems--

Ron, Thanks for the advice.

Would I be best to replace the entire cable (about 1 metre)? Are the RCA cables shielded?

Thanks

Gordo,
No need to---besides, they become very "touchy" up in the tone arm area on these models--best left un-touched there ! (while thinking about it--watch out for the "helper spring"--they "fly away" easy !!
Yes the outer "ring" of the RCA plug encircles the wiring---thus, it looks as if it were one section to the signal. Solder well !
