My father-in-laws CD100A has started popping when you plug in the power cord. It has never done this before. Even if the power switch on the back of the unit is off you hear a quick pop like a discharging capacitor. Any thoughts what might cause this? Ruled out the outlet itself since it does it anywhere you plug in. It plays fine and still sounds great.

Stephen,
That's "normal" for almost any "transistor amp". Won't do that if you use the on/off switch, on the cabinet rear ( if you have a "domestically wired" phonograph). Ron Rich

Ron.
It does it when the cabinet switch is off. Nothing should be getting power at that point, at least the way I understand the wiring. So basically I can turn off the cabinet on he back of it via the toggle switch. Unplug the power cord. Plug it back and it pops. The cabinet switch is still off at that point.

Stephen,
You may wish to re-read the service manual--Look at the "domestic" power supply switch and outlet wiring.

Howdy Stephen;
We own a Rowe AMI Saturn and it does the same thing as it pops when there is a power outage but not when using the power switch on the jukebox. I never unplug it unless I need to move it,or work on it.
It always works fine regardless.
Pete.

Hi Pete,
If you wish to understand why all DOMESTIC, Rowe's, do that--read the service manual--

Howdy Ron;
By "Domestic" do you mean those jukeboxes which were built in the U.S.?
Pete.

What he's not telling you is all solid state US made AMI jukeboxes leave the amp on all the time, no matter weather the power switch is on or off. It extends the live of the amp and cuts down on "surges" that can damage things.

PLEASE, "mrjukebox160"--Do not put (incorrect) words in my mouth-- There was no "live extension" considered in doing this-- It was an AMi practice, to leave the amp hot, way back in the tube days ! Ron Rich
