The problem is that the turntable isnt turning at the correct 45RPM speed,
is very very slow.
I thought it may have been a drive belt problem but I dont see a drive belt
in it.
Any advice on this greatly appreciated.
oh, and also, who is a good jukebox parts supplier for the AMI Rowe jukes?
Regards all,

Hi Cliff,
The 1000, 1100 and 1200 mechanisms use an idlerwheel that is mounted on a linkage that makes the idlerwheel turn against the inside edge of the turntable. If you are in the USA then the turntable motor turns at 45 rpm at 60 hz in Europe and most other places the supply is at 50 hz this is achieved by the use of a speed spring on the turntable motor shaft.
You need to remove the turntable, the idlerwheel and linkage to wash them in soapy warm water to remove any traces of old oil. Once rinced and dryed lubricate with one drop of oil on each of the pivot points on the linkage and a smear of oil on the turntable shaft.
It is best to check the bearings on the turntable motor for wear, you should be able to full the shaft up on the motor, but there should not be any side to side or backward and forward movement on the shaft whilst holding the motor firmly.
We supply parts for your jukebox and undertake repairs but we are in the UK.
