[Jukebox-list] AMI I200 Scan Control

[dirksenj at bellsouth.net]

Hi - thanks to everyone who responded. I bought some thin rubber tubing and 
it works just fine. But I have another problem - I spoke too soon about my 
selectors. Letters A-F, J and K work just fine. However, if I select G1, it 
plays H1. If I select G and any other number, it plays K1 everytime (and the 
number stepper never pulses). If I select H and any number, it will 
sometimes play correctly, but quite often, it plays that number in the K 
section.

This machine came out of a home, and has been well cared for. I've spent 
time cleaning and checking the pulse generator and keyboard switches, with 
no luck. I also replaced the pulse generator wiper, as the outside tips were 
worn off. It's funny that the G and H sections were not filled with records, 
and the titlestrips were missing from those two sections as well. I guess 
the previous owner just lived with the problem. Any suggestions will be 
appreciated.

Jim
