Rowe AMI Music Miracle 3 Model Number 1100 Help

Yep! Sure do Norman.  I will take a look at that section later today.  Right now searching the internet at work to see if I can find some videos or information that confirm/deny the placement of the cranks in the cutout of the transfer link.

Wanted to give an update.  I was able to figure out how the connection goes and now it is working properly.  Referencing the pic below, first, put 2 into 1 and then 4 (long crank) goes into slot 3. This is a very tight fit.  I was just a hair off on the 4 fitting into 3 but there was some slop in the transfer motor mounting bracket (what 4 is poking through) so I was able to move the motor up just a bit and get 4 to fit into 3.

Hello

Another question.  When returning the record back into the magazine, the edge of the record is catching the edge of the record that is in the magazine (see pics).  I thought that maybe it was because the magazine is not aligned properly so I followed the manual but it is still happening.  I think that maybe the transfer arm is not rotating over fully to align with the empty rack in the magazine and it is catching.  Maybe just a lube problem or loose pin somewhere?

Hi Ryan,
My GUESS woodbe-- the transfer arm did not position the record correctly when it picked it up ? This MAYBE because the turntable has been moved ?? Ron Rich

[RyanA]

Ron

Interesting, I did not think of that. When you say "moved" what do you mean? The turntable is not positioned correctly in the jukebox?

[Ron Rich]

Hi Ryan,
Yes-- that's my thinking-- possible someone "tweaked" it ?? Or is the gripper slow-- see common gripper problems, sticky -- Ron Rich

[RyanA]

Turns out, she just needed some of that 3-1 SAE 20 lube

Hi Ryan,
Glad you gotit !!
How about a photo of a record "properly grabbed" ?

The areas circled in red are the areas were some drops of lube were added.  Now, the gripper arm fully rotates to be lined up with the record slot and no long catches or drops records.  Also, the entire system operates much more smoothly with less effort by the motors.

Hi Ryan,
Thanks-- but if that's a black "plastic" gripper arm, 3 in One motor oil ( or any oil) will gum up ! If metal--OK-- I think you are better off removing it, and as the above "sticky says"-- snapping it, or dis-assembly, clean it.--leave it dry ! -- or you might try a small "squirt", of FOOD GRADE, silly-cone !

Thanks! I must have missed that part! I will take care of that.  Cheers!

Any other model 1100 adventures I will post here and hopefully it can help another jukebox newbie!

Hi Ryan,
Oh, well, attza why I put the "stickies" there-- LOL-- Ron Rich

[RyanA]

I think I need to replace the bass (or maybe the all the speakers). Does anyone have any experience with this on these older jukeboxes?

[Ron Rich]

Hi Ryan,
Why, do you "think" that ? Ron Rich
