I should know by the end of the week if he found anything. He said he will go over it for dry joints and have a look at the caps. He has the amp only and is confident that is all he needs.
I had no idea of how to do that.Īfter making a few calls I was told of this guy who repairs jukeboxes in my area, long story short he now has the amp but for a quote only. Reading the forum I started to get cold feet, not about replacing the transistors but adjusting the bias on them after. The second set is just in case! They should arrive in a week or two. I ordered 2 sets of output transistors (2N6284, 2N6287) from "cdadapter" in the States. The fuses removed were marked 8A the same as on the board. So could it have been me having it too loud?Īny ideas/help to get it back working again. It was working all right till it was turned off.
You would expect the volume at 1/4 to be all most full volume. With the volume control a 1/4 way turned up it is as loud as anyone would want it. Since the wiring change I have noticed that the volume can go very loud. I think the output transistors will need replacing but what caused it? The last part of the double thump was probably the fuses going! I replaced all fuses to see what would happen, when I turned the jukebox back on I heard the thump but it was like a double thump, again no sound playing a disc and upon checking all 4 fuses were again blown.
There was no thump as the jukebox was switched on, the manual said check the fuses, all 4 fuses were blown. I started the jukebox this morning to be greeted with no sound, well a faint noise at full volume. Since wiring the speakers as was suggested I have been listening to some good jukebox music until. Not sure if I should start another topic! I'm going to try and show how my untouched wiring is, as it came from the factory, if I can work out how to do it! attachments!!! Recently I tried to use it but found the rubber surrounds in the woofers needed replacing (badly rotted), I replaced the surrounds and when hooking up the wiring noticed it was different from the manual and when I looked further the mid and high range speakers also had different connections to both the manual and diagrams stuck to the jukebox door.Ĭan anyone show me a wiring diagram of what it should be? The jukebox has rarely been used because of its poor bass performance. I thought it was because the 10" woofers weren't up to it, anyway. When it was first played I was disappointed by the lack of bass, it was there but not to the level of what I expected of a jukebox. The data plate says its a cd-100 and was made in 1990. It was only for home use so it didn't come with any money mechanisms etc. I bought this jukebox brand new back in 1990. I have just joined so that you might be able to help me.
