[Jukebox-list] AMI TROPICANNA

[John Wilson]

Hi Nigel,She is behaving at the moment, for some reason the "SELECT" lights when lit would keep everything operating ... as soon as the needle touched down, it would reject and go onto the next selection, i bypassed the reed switch and cutout switch but it didn't do anything (I took out the lamps in the select indicator and all is good) ... will check out the connections from the "button bank" back.Cheers john

The most likely cause is the mechanism is rejecting.

Check the following:-
Towards the back of the tonearm is a reed switch which activates the trip
when the record ends. Check the switch is not shorting and both cables
(orange and Grey I think) are attached.

Also, check the automatic trip on the arm is not out of adjustment. This is
a screw and contact towards the back of the arm, and a spade connector under
the arm. It is there in case someone selects a blank record. Sometimes the
screw needs backing out a bit.

Reject switch on rear. Also check the cables behind this. 2 orange and 2
grey (I think). These also terminate in the rear between the amp and preamp...
Make sure they are not shorted.

When the mech is putting the record down, does it go through the cycle of
cancelling the pin and toggling the record playing bar ?

I have a JBM so can assist

Regards, Nigel, UK

Hi Team,I have a JBM200 Tropicanna that has decided to misbehave, the
transfer motor is not stopping  ... so the record is placed on the turntable
it starts to rotate, the tone arm comes over, record is placed then lifts,
the record is picked up and returned to the carosuel and continues to the
next selection... everything is working apart from this action.. hope
someone can point me to the relay or microswitch.Cheers John
