Congratulations Brad, you just married a juke box! It will be in your life forever! Good job on your first jukebox. The manual is your friend with these things. I have a few boxes and they are electro-mechanical wonders. For the turntable belt you can cut it shorter with a razor blade and glue it back together with some crazy glue. Or, you can buy an o-ring bonding kit from McMaster Carr that has long strands and many different gauges of o-ring material. It comes with glue (its just crazy glue) a razor blade and a plastic jig that helps hold the ends square when you glue them. I have made some animation belts for juke boxes with the kit. One more thing, after the last play, the carriage should scan one cycle, not see a memory finger, and stop cycling. It may not be stopping because it is not connected to the control box. My Rowe/AMI is 13 years newer and a lot different than this one.
My Cousin was given a jukebox to fix maybe 20 years ago. He is a bonafide engineer that built MRI machines and cruise missiles, and it still doesn't quite work. God Bless you and keep you on this journey into a 'hell' of little fiddley bits and delicate old plastic parts...
Many more than one Uncle Doug had his hands in.. He has restored a couple of his own, I think it’s his 1st one or two videos he put on TH-cam. But yes, he has done them for clients too. I don’t believe there there is anything that man cannot rebuild, restore, or make from scratch! Not many like him left in the world!
I have been asked to service an old "Trash Can" jukebox that got wet in a flood. I've been reluctant to do it but this video gives me some courage. I don't know if you mention it in the video but it looks like most of the problems arise from someone spraying the contacts and brushes with normal WD40 instead of a good quality contact cleaner. I am also using the WD40 contact spray which is excellent.
Cool video Brad! I like seeing you tackle something new (electronic/amplifier) related.. I kinda miss the homemade amplifiers and PA/ Organ conversation videos you used to make.. Maybe you’re bored with those.. But, some really good videos lately.. Merry Christmas
I LOVE Electro Mechanical vintage stuff. You are basically doing what I would do.
Wow, that thing is a workhorse. 70 years and tens of thousands of plays later it's still chugging along.
Merry Christmas Brad and Fam!...That aquarium is awesome!
Talking this stuff out loud and reading the manual out loud, for the video, probably helps you a lot Brad. Now I know a little about old juke boxes. 😊
Juke box amplifiers produce fantastic audio quality

Great work Brad.
Uncle Doug has restored one.
