I have the same problem with a 1977 Rockola 470. Obviously it plays 45s. Number selected, machine processes it, puts it on the turntable and then before the needle arm moves at all, the "hook" puts the 45 back in the tray slot. Any ideas what needs adjusting or replacing? I have all the manuals but I'm no electrical engineer. Some of the schematics are way beyond me.I have the same problem with a 1977 Rockola 470. Obviously it plays 45s.

If your Wurlitzer 3200 Americana 2 jukebox is not playing records, there could be several reasons for this issue. Here are a few troubleshooting steps you can try:
Check the power supply: Ensure that the jukebox is receiving power. Check the power cord, connections, and any fuses or circuit breakers that may be relevant. Make sure the jukebox is properly plugged into a functioning power outlet.
Clean the record player mechanism: Over time, dust, dirt, or debris can accumulate on the record player mechanism, causing it to malfunction. Carefully clean the mechanism using a soft cloth or a gentle brush to remove any dirt or particles. Be cautious not to apply excessive force or damage any delicate components.
Check the needle: Examine the needle (stylus) on the record player arm. Ensure that it is intact, clean, and properly aligned. If the needle is damaged or worn out, it may need to be replaced. Consult the jukebox's manual or contact customer support for guidance on needle replacement for the Wurlitzer 3200 Americana 2 model.
Adjust the tonearm: Verify that the tonearm is properly balanced and set at the correct tracking force. Refer to the jukebox's manual for instructions on adjusting the tonearm. Incorrect tracking force or balance can prevent the needle from making proper contact with the record and result in playback issues.
Verify record selection and loading: Ensure that the jukebox has been properly loaded with records and that the correct record selection has been made. Check if there are any obstructions or misalignments in the record selection and loading mechanism.
Seek professional assistance: If the above steps do not resolve the issue, it's recommended to contact a qualified jukebox technician or the manufacturer's customer support. They will have specific knowledge of the Wurlitzer 3200 Americana 2 model and can provide further guidance or arrange for repairs if necessary.
The Wurlitzer 2900 is a jukebox that plays 45 RPM records. To stop it from playing the same record over and over, you can try the following steps:
Locate the jukebox's control panel: The control panel should have buttons that allow you to select and play records, as well as buttons to control the volume and lighting.
Press the stop button: The stop button will usually be labeled "Stop" or have a red triangle symbol. Pressing this button should stop the jukebox from playing the current record and return it to the selection mode.
Change the record: Use the jukebox's control panel to select a different record to play.
Adjust the play mode: The Wurlitzer 2900 may have a setting that determines how many times it will play a record before moving on to the next selection. You can check the jukebox's manual or settings menu to see if this is the case, and adjust it if necessary.
If these steps do not work, there may be a mechanical issue with the jukebox. In this case, it is recommended that you seek the assistance of a professional technician to diagnose and repair the problem.
Check the 3 amp Slo-Blow fuse in the 3rd fuse holder (bottom right corner) of the phono junction box. I had a similar problem with my AMI F-80 (1954). The turntable continued to turn and would not detect the end of the record to return it to the rack, nor could I cancel the record. Power through this fuse goes to the mechanism junction box and on to the carriage junction box where all the control contacts are. So without that power, it doesn't know what to do next. Also, there is a way to modify/fool the credit unit so it thinks it always has credit (free-play!). Basically you put a jumper on the contacts, but I made the jumper go through a simple flip switch, so I could choose free play or not. I hope this helps.
What model is your Rowe Ami jukebox, there will be an information label on the back or inside the jukebox with the serial number and the model type. We can suggest a solution once we know your model type.
Hello, I can most likely help you. I do telephone assistance over the phone and can repair all of the units inside your jukebox. Please email me, [email protected] and I'll email back my phone number.
If your Rowe Ami is indeed a 1974 model it will be a TI-2 or CTI-1 (chest style jukebox) this era of jukebox uses a search unit to push out selected pins on the unit A side and B side for the mechanism to search for and play.
If the search unit is pushing out the correct pins but the mechanism is not scanning to select those selections, it could be that the mechanism is skipping over the pins or it could be that the search unit is not pushing out any pins at all with the search unit motor just spinning around.
THIS JUKEBOX IS 40 YEARS OLD. LUBRICATION MAY BE THE PROBLEM. HERE IS HOW TO FORCE THE SEEBURG JUKEBOX TO PICK UP A RECORD AND PLAY A SONG. LOOK AT THE ARM THAT HOLDS UP THE NEEDLE AND CARTAGE. NEAR THE MIDDLE OF THE RED ARM, ONE INCH TOWARD THE MOTOR, THERE IS A HORIZONTAL LEAVER LIFT IT UP A RECORD WILL GO INTO THE HEAD, THAT RECORD SHOULD PLAY THE SONG, IF THE LUBRICATION IS OK. IF THE RECORD GOES INTO THE HEAD, AND THEN PUTS THE RECORD BACK IN THE RACK. YOU HAVE A LUBRICATION PROBLEM. THAT IS A TOUGHT MACHINE TO FIX IOF YOU ARE NOT FAMILIAR WITH IT. DOCTOR FIX IT.
THE WURLITZER JUKEBOX WILL CONTINUE TO PLAY SONGS AS LONG AS ONE OR MORE, SELECTING PINS (THERE ARE 200 IN THE 2900 ONE FOR EACH SONG. THE PINS ARE IN LOWER SECTION OF THE CASE. BETWEEN THE SPEAKERS , AND LOWER DOOR.) REMOVE LOWER BACK DOOR. WATCH THE ARM THAT STOPS ON THE NEXT RECORD, BECAUSE THE PIN IS UP. AFTER STOPPING ON THE PIN, THE ARM PUSHES THE PIN DOWN. THAT IS THE NORMAL OPERATION. IF THE PIN, IS NOT PUSHED DOWN, IT WILL PLAY THAT OR ANY OTHER SONG THAT HAS A PIN IS RAISED UP. THE PINS ARE THE MECHANICAL MEMORY FOR THAT JUKEBOX. TURN OFF POWER, ==PUSH ALL PINS DOWN== THE SONGS WILL STOP PLAYING. THEN MAKE A SONG SELECTION. THE ONE PIN WILL POP UP THE MACHINE SHOULD PLAY THAT SONG. WATCH THE ARM THAT STOPPED TO PLAY THE SONG, PUSH THE PIN DOWN. THAT IS THE SEQUENCE OF THE 2900 MACHINE, WHAT CAN GO WRONG IS AS FOLLOWS. ==THE ARM DOES NOT PUSH PIN DOWN== THE ARM MISSES PIN== THE ARM NEED OIL, IT IS NOT LUBRICATED.==.
