Hello!

I just brought in an Rowe R-89 Jukebox to our home. The record select mechanism selection works great. Plus the light displays seems to be working also.
The problem is that there is no sound coming out of the left side(left side me facing the juke) speakers or woofer. The woofer on the left side has a hole in it. All speakers on the right side all work fine and so does the woofer.
I have the original Field Service Manual and Parts Catalog.
The problem is that I have no mechanical or electrical experience. But I am willing to give it a carefull try.
I have tried all the bass,treble and balance switches and still all the sound is only on the right side(right side me facing the juke).
I need help in figuring out what the problem is. Oh and what is the proper terminalogy as far as the speakers. Is left with the juke facing me or me facing it?

Any and all help in helping me try to figure where the problem is and also maybe walkthru help to fix it is all deeply appreciated.

Thanks,

Lew
 
I had to get my speakers reconed the other day.
Are the wires connected to the needle ok on both ends?

I just checked and they are connected.

Thanks for your response. All help is very much appreciated!

A quick test is to switch the left and right inputs to the amp and/or switch the speaker leads at the output side of the amp.
That'll help rule out the input signal or the speakers.

If the sounds switches sides you can figure the speakers are ok.
 
Hi Lew,

Being as you have the Rowe Ami R-89 manual, look at page 19 this gives you all the connection information with regards to the cartridge wiring right through to the speakers.

THANKS ALL!!

The seller of the juke agreed to come to our home at no charge and did all tests that you all recommended plus replaced the woofer and amplifier. Still no sound on the left side. But he noticed the "tabs" were no set right for the speaker connections and redid them and bang!! IT WORKS!!

Again thanks for your suggestions as he checked them and it led him to those tab connections!!
