Hi,
I am considering buying a 100A. I will need to lay it down in the back of my Tahoe and want to know if that will hurt anything and or if I need to secure anything to do this? Also, any major problems with a 100A versus the other models?

Thank you,
Joe
 
Securing/unsecuring the machine for transport is fully described in your manual set.

In a nutshell you will be securing the following items:

Removing all CD discs from the magazine and placing them in a box.

Securing the entire cd mechanism & magazine with the hold down brackets supplied with the juke when it was new (there are two brackets to install).

Securing the CD magazine (carousel) with the long shipping bolt that goes through the threaded hole in the back of the machine.

Securing the Sprag Assembly with the metal clip and rubber bands supplied when the juke was new.

Securing the CD player clamp lid with rubber bands.

Securing the coin chute assembly with glass filament on the spring loaded retaining latch (prevents it from popping open and falling all over the inside of the juke and busting things).

Lock the dollar bill acceptor's bill box and remove the key. Keep the key safely with you and do not leave it in the machine.

If this machine is equipped with the optional remote volume control mounted on a wall near the jukebox, disconnect it from the output transformer package terminal strip located inside the juke above the amplifier compartment. Now remove the remote volume control unit from the wall along with it's mounting plate. Place the now disconnected remote volume control unit into the jukebox's cloth cash sack (this is how the factory ships it for safety) and lock the cashbox door. Remove the key and keep it with you.

Secure ALL the fluorescent light tubes in their sockets with a short length of glass filament tape placed across each socket.

The title pages will need to be secured or they will break under their own weight during transport. Either electrically (with the title page arrow buttons) or mechanically (with the handwheel attached to the title rack motor) get all the title pages all over to one side of the title rack (doesn't matter which side). Now secure with rubber bands and the metal clips supplied by Rowe when the jukebox was new. They should be in the bottom of the manuals pouch on the amplifier cover. Note: Never grab or turn the actual title page itself. Use only the handwheel or electrical pushbuttons to move the pages. The pages are delicate and will be destroyed or damaged if grabbed.

The above procedures are explained in detail in your manual set Volume 1 of 2.
 
By now it will need to have the original CDM3 or CDM4 player unit replaced with the latest player, the CDPRO2 upgrade kit (about $650 from any Rowe distributor). it includes a new power supply board.

You will need a few upgrades to the Central Control computer board including updated software. The eprom on the board should be running at least version 3.2 software and preferably version 4.3 which is the last version for that series of juke.

There is also an update to the OBA bill acceptor control box mounted on the back wall of the jukebox to allow the bill acceptor to accept the latest $5 bills.
 
Hi,
Why would I need to upgrade anything since it is working fine? Is that software upgrade related to the new player? This is going into a house not
a business.

Thanks, Joe
 
If it is working fine that's ok. If the player quits you must upgrade if it had a CDM3 or 4 player.

The upgrades to the existing power supply and Central Control Computer are to fix weak points in the design. Software versions 3.1 and earlier have bugs in it. Getting later software adds features and more diagnostics to the jukebox.
