Great video, excellent diagnosis,and repair.

Great video!!!! I had a question, I also have a Rowe jukebox. All of a sudden when I plug it in all I get it this extremely loud noise. Someone mentioned that my problem was around the 36:40 mark in your video. I was hoping you had some insight.

Interesting use of materials.

Nice video. I learned a lot. Only thing id suggest is taking the boot off the spark plug when youre messing around under the deck. Itd be unlucky, but spinning the blade could start it up and take off a finger.

I own the Rider 1200. I had to replace the motor once. Why? Pellets remaining in auger will jam, weather, break plastic on motor. To turn off, dump all pellets, turn on high (clean grates), turn off AFTER all pellets removed from auger rotating chute.

Isn't time-lapse videography wonderful ?? It makes these restoration videos so much more entertaining.

Dude quite a job right there! I even smiled whe that thing fire right up. Good job

I have this same mower. Was hoping its a valve issue but im guessing my cam is cracked too. Definitely a fix n sell.

Thank you I missed how to make it fee play

Never, never use some one else's diagnosis!

You good man. I have done a lot work to my mower and I can’t get it to start, new carburetor, new spark plug, new ignition coil, new pull starter, fresh oil, fresh fuel, nothing works.

I just got one cheap off Facebook marketplace. Igniter had pulled out of the firebox, just like yours. Easy fix. What did you clean the grills with? They're super clean.

Good video, just wish you would slow it down, and teach, would love to learn. Thanks for your videos

Very good job , I enjoyed watching you video. Thanks

You have some great mechanical knowledge and very good at working on lawn mower engines. Fun watching you.

Looks like they may have had a grease fire in there

Great job

I have this jukebox and it turns on but when I select a record, the mechanism doesn't move to select a 45. It is rotating though - any suggestions of what it is would be very helpful. Happy to send you a short video that will help diagnose. I'm at the limit of my knowledge. I do have the manual but this isn't my skill set...

You may have a ground issue with the Tormat Memory Unit.

The wire wheel scares me on an aluminum head but it sure does a good job cleaning.

Enjoy the video. I just purchased a used one and plan to restore it. Could you please be kind and share the links where you purchase all items replaced. I would greatly appreciate it.

Amazing job, thanks Lewis

Never miss the perfect opportunity to clean the deck and undercarriage.

It is better to clean contacts with deoxit or wd40 contact cleaner sprayed onto a lint FREE cloth & rub the black oxidation off Instead of a abrasive pad.

I realise that this is an old post but honestly the cam is a massive load bearing component why they would use plastic instead of steel is ridiculous.

The square buckets look to be a generic food grade type. They have a rubber gasket as a moisture barrier (I buy second hand ones for 5 bucks). It's also just a Rider DLX (Gen1) ... the 1200 is Gen2)

i have the same lawn mower like this one /on mine certaintly have a spark & clean caburator clean but there is no way to start may be it's fly wheel cam shaft is gone too ? (ohm measure on coil ground to prime 2 ohms / ground to secondary 6k ohms )

Should of checked the valves.

Somebody Might be able to use those strips inn their own jukebox if they need them for records that they might have. You could make a few bucks.

i just visited my cousin & she has one of these. It's not working but looks in great condition. It acts like it wants to work lol. And oddly she lives in Nebraska

I followed your advice to the letter and guess what the amp doesn’t work !

What’s the chances of listing the capacitors for just the AMP PLEASE AJ only I’m struggling to purchase the correct ones, thanks in anticipation 🇬🇧

Awesome.

I have a working one willing to sell

Where did you buy your capacitor kit from?

Do you have a video for cleaning the number selection pad?

I have a 1974 Toro 726 (Mod31763) I got for free, so no complaints in that department. However, when I drained the oil, about 1/2 pint (yep, that's all) of jet black think oil came out. Just before that I did verify it started, but it smoked like a Big Boy locomotive. I pulled the head off and found a few large scores on the cylinder wall and believe it needs oversized by first boring out the cylinder. Have you ever done this? I"m looking for a video that shows the process. Any help is greatly appreciated. I really want to bring this ole' machine back to life, as 'she' saw it in the 70's. Thanks!

What would you value this jukebox at? (in a great condition)

They do sell control boards. I bought 1. It's about 60 bucks. Nice job bud

Hey AJ! Just wanted to say that I've come back to this video playlist about a dozen times while going through my USC2 and it's been immensely helpful. I'm a beginner, and a visual learner. Without your troubleshooting videos as a guide I don't know that I'd be able to make sense of the info on forums and in the IO Manuals I have. I appreciate the effort you put into making these available and you should know how valuable and helpful they are! I still have a ways to go with getting my Firestar to function at its best (I'm a little intimidated to replace the caps, thats next!), but it is playing *some* selections and scanning and playing stuff. Super exciting. I would love to find a color-match of translucent paint for the parts that have flaked off, but no dice on that yet. Also, the back of my selection keypad has four dip-switches. I cannot find any info about this anywhere and was curious if you knew what they were for? I wasn't sure if they were for pricing options or something. Thanks again!

1st compression test before just taking head off just saves time.

Great video!👍Great job!👍

First one with the black and gray box too...

This is actually a 1970 model. Like automobiles new jukeboxes was introduced in the fall for the following year. This was called an Apollo because of the moon mission in 1969. The lines on the bottom glass doors are supposed to represent the main displays at Houston command center. The metal screen on the top panel was never blue. They was silver. I think some of your yellowing is most likely tobacco smoke stained. The bottom glass doors have a white translucent plastic that has yellowed due to age. That can be replaced which will lighten up the glass doors graphics. The top light that you but the blue plastic cover on never had any thing covering it. The plain white bulb was to light up the selection trays and the lower glass doors. The plastic white selection trays can be removed and soaked in a peroxide solution out in the sun and will lighten them up. I bought this same jukebox 3 years ago and restored it to working condition. Thankfully the one I got was in a home and had been lovingly care for but the control center needed to be be recapped and a few resistors replaced. I cleaned all the contacts and dried up oil and then applied fresh where needed. I also had to take apart the keypad and clean the contacts and bingo it works like a charm.

Where do you get parts for your lawn mower.

Great video I learned loads, I have exactly the same machine as well as a Mardi Gras and a Entertainer fantastic machines 🇬🇧

Take fine sandpaper and go around crank lube well and the bottom plate will come right off

Always check the flyw😮heel key when you have covers off.

Use starting fluid engine sounds dry it needs to pick up the gas stRting fluid would help

Thank you so much for your troubleshooting video. I have issues with the sound too. I would like to get an external speakers that I can plug in. Do you have any recommendations?
