All the push-buttons (30 buttons) in the selector unit needed to be cleaned.
Most of them did not work… 🙂

Next up for cleaning is the credit unit.
Rather filthy… 🙂

Got the mechanism out on the workbench for a first look.
Some obvious problems, and needs a good clean and lubrication.

Got this Rowe AMI Tropicana Jukebox in for repair. (JBM-200, 1964)

It is in rough shape and needs a lot of repairs.

I unplugged the amps and powered it on to see what it does.
The lights are mostly ok.

Not responding at all when i tried to select a record using the buttons.
The buttons does not “stick” in pressed down mode either.
And holding down a letter and a number together does not do anything.

Using the “Scan” button on the inside, it spins the carousel, so that part seems ok. 🙂
When powered off, manually turning the carousel makes the gripper arm pick up a record and place it on the platter and later put it back, but the tonearm does not move at all.

The power amps are missing two of the tubes.
A 6AW8A and, unfortunatly, an 7868…
7868 are hard to get hold of, and really expensive if found.
