hi, i need to test an amp from a rock ola tempo 2 juke (1960). my question, is it ok to plug into my 1962 rock-ola 403 juke? are the pins from the power supply the same? thanks, nick

hi, i think the americana 3 uses a 'wurlymatic' mech? if so there is a heavy duty microswith to the left of the tonearm pivot. check this is working and if it is correctly adjusted. if you push the pin while a record is playing it should trip the tonearm. if this works then you will need to...

hi, if you are in the UK let me know as i can probably help you sort it out. nick

Hi, this needs to go as i have an incoming project so a possible bargain to be had for UK enthusiasts. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=190622465656&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT Nick

i repair jukes and late vinyl/early cd boxes are a pain in the ass.....mostly because of the control pcb's. in fact we have maybe 200 or so broken/swapped out pcb's (mostly msn and rowe) in our warehouse in the UK. we are getting round to repairing them as good ones are getting rare. if getting...

ah yes, i have installed without a fan in a vented cab and as expected it is just fine...thanks. seems a lot of folk like the illuminated fans, more for effect than function....which is fine too....and does look rather cool...if you pardon the pun.

hi rhm, i am no expert but i have just wired a 60 in 1. seems to me that it is time to take the loom out and do a continuity test. label each wire according to the jamma pinout ready to reconnect to the corresponding switches. any unwanted mods or errors on the loom will show up. insulate unused...

Hi, fixing my original invaders has left me with a spare 60 in 1 jamma which i have just built a bartop cab for. it is up and running with a wei ya supply and a 15" LCD monitor. is there a need for a 12volt fan in the cab or will a vent at the back be sufficient? thanks, nick

thats correct, 'super space stranger' is b/w and 'space stranger2' is a color version using an identical sound board as you would expect. there is no 'space stranger' as far as i know. both sound boards are identical. thanks to spaceinvaders efforts i have managed to get 6/7 sounds working...

Nice!.....who owns the upright? a beauty! Thanks for breathing life back into this game....seems we have a good chance of preserving at least a couple of these worldwide. I am tied up for the next few days but will add info and material as i do my cab restoration (more of a tidy up really). I...

Its that op amp at pos. 21 that eludes me..... with the old repair... i need to confirm its hooked up correct and then move on throught that circuit. fault could well be elsewhere or maybe even the odd pin to ground as i am getting some hiss. how does the saucer hit sound compare to...

I THINK YOU HAVE THE HOLY GRAIL BEAU! .....seems like the answer to my problem lies on page 6 in the photobucket images...and guess what....cant quite make it out! I would be honoured to have a copy, a photostat would be fine if you didn't want to part with the manuals you tracked down. i...

OK....clear head and here we go! i changed LM3900's at position 19 & 20...result all sound lost except 'fire' left 21 for time being due to old repair to trace's changed 22, 23, 24....yippeee....6 out of 7 sounds..and in the right places! only 'saucer hit' missing. checked 21...looks hooked up...

OMG....... How cool is that? Dont worry if it is in Japanese....I have a friend who will translate. The LM3900's arrived this morning but due to last nights work christmas party i will not be attempting any electrical work today! thanks to those who helped me out re. posting pics. Nick.

real progress at last....at least regarding the op amps. many many thanks. i have ordered brand new LM3900's and will let you know how the repair goes. while i am at it i will do a basic drawing of the board and mark all known IC's. i will try to post something that can be added to in the...
