AMI I 200 Problem
Guys: I have a 1958 AMI I 200 jukebox and it has a problem with the
'pin pusher' mechanism. Whenever I choose a record, it will push the pins for the following record, instead. For example: I choose D4 and it will push the pins for D6 or I choose H16 and it will push the pins for H18, etc. Happens every time and was like this when I got the jukebox. I have read the manual but I am new to jukeboxes and cannot fathom it out. Any help appreciated. Thanks..... |

Thanks.....- Hide quoted text - - Show quoted text - Tony probably answered this but I couldn't find his post. Fortunately, it is an easy problem to fix. The pin-pusher assembly isn't positioned correctly. You'll need to losen the connector/collar to the brass tube that runs underneath the turntable deck and comes out in the center of the record basket at the rear. Then turn the brass tube counter-clockwise until one of the two pin-pushers is aligned with the next pin to left of where it is now. When you tighten the collar there are two things to look for. Make sure you have the correct distance between each pin and the ends of both pin pushers (5/32 I think). Don't over tighten the collar, otherwise you can deform the brass tube. And, if you don't have one, you need to get a manual (Victory glass or other suppliers). Mark |

And, if you don't have one, you need to get a manual (Victory glass or other suppliers). Mark It IS an easy adjustment, however if you follow the instructions above I am afraid you will only make things worse (sorry Mark!). The proper method to correct a miss-aligned sweep arm on the AMIs of this period is to do the following - best done with the machine unplugged: 1) slide mechanism back (butterfly wing nuts, and clamp released) 2) remove cover for pulse convertor. 3) identify the "Sparg Relay" and then push down on the lever arm so the arm locks the sprag wheel - hold this in position with a small screwdriver gently wedged (no bending!!!) into the now-existing gap between an adjusting screw and the top front of the sprag relay lever arm. (Find copy of service manual to identify parts) 4) go to the rear of the machine, and note the pin that the sweep arm lever is centered over (choose one or the other arms, it doesn't matter. 5) loosen the pinch bolt just to the side of the center of the sweep arm that clamps it to the brash tube that comes out the center of the ferris wheel. 6) GENTLY rotate the sweep arm in the direction required to center the sweep arm lever over the NEXT pin (if off by one pin), and gently rock it back and forth to make sure it is centered on the pin 7) THIS IS CRITICAL - Tighten the pinch bolt - do NOT overtighten the pinch bolt or you will break the aluminum casting!!!! 8) remove small screwdriver and test - you might now find it is TWO selections off, but you now know which way to move the arm (I hope)! 9) if all OK then put the machine back together and enjoy!
