[Jukebox-list] AMI Cartridge conversion

[Jens Hultgren]

Actually, the G200 is where they went from total squareness to start
applying a little stylishness.They must've brought in a new designer at this
time, while also deserting the horizontal rack mechanism they had used from
the start for the new (but stolen from Rockola!) ferris wheel mech.

I had a G200 once but someone else wanted it, so I never got a chance to
work on it. There are some differences to the sound system compared to G80
and G120 - I wonder if they make a big difference in sound?
My first 50's jukebox was a red speckled Jensen G80 assembled in Denmark.
Jensen used their own cartridges and those weren't any good.
I guess the G200 should sound as good as the H and i but with more oomph?
