[Jukebox-list] AMi Manual select/Pulse conv.

[Ron Rich]

The only one I saw was a Conti in Europe. The "kids" found that they could cheat the selector by spinning the thumb wheel and slightly holding down on the "select button".  They could "select" up to five adjoining songs per credit that way. If I remember correctly, pushing the "select button" would mechanically engage a Microswitch and a mechanical "sprague relay", locking the wheel. Somehow,  I found a way to fix it--I think that I lowered the Microswitch under the button--but that was a very, very long time ago--Ron Rich

area has a cleaner look to it than the electric selector. Although spinning 
that wheel gets old real quick. I worked on a I100 manual select about a 
year ago, and a buddy of mine has a manual select J200. Those are the only 
ones I've seen. None of the owners wish to part with them :(.
