AMI R-82 problem
My juke has a slight problem.
When I hit the numbers on the keypad they do a double hit. As in...if I hit, say the number 9, it actually records a 99. Trying to key in selection 134 will record a 113. But, if I hit it real fast it usually works right. Any ideas?

Tom, you might have a hyper sensitive keyboard due to fact that it needs a
good cleaning and adjustment. These keys are spring loaded making it possible for the contacts coming into contact with each other before the end of 'normal' travel, normal travel being the key sticks all the way out at you when at rest, then needing to be pushed firmly to make a selelction. Try first cleaning then replacing or stretching these springs a little. Time consuming but worth the effort. Cheers, Steve "Tom" wrote in message ... My juke has a slight problem.

As Juke Dude so eloquently stated:

I was hoping it wasn't an electrical problem. -- Tom "That man is richest whose pleasures are cheapest." -Henry Thoreau "The original point and click interface is a Smith and Wesson" |
We have the same problem with the Rock-olas of that era.. Do not use
any contact cleaner sprays on them, the plastic will swell up. Also be careful in handling the switces, they are no longer available and we end up parting out good keybanks. Charlie Maier AS for cheap pleasures, I'm gonna go find me a hooker in Camden NJ. |

Thanks for the hint about the cleaners. What would you use instead? Camden has cheap hookers?

Charlie, hookers???? For shame ;) The recommended cleaning solution for such
problems, ink eraser...yup ink eraser. If the contacts are readily accessible, try it and let us know. P.S. Charlie....really??? Glad my wife doesn't read this. She'd never have me alone at this computer ever again! Cheers, Steve "Tom" wrote in message ... As CHARLIE MAIER so eloquently stated: We have the same problem with the Rock-olas of that era..
