Tech: Rowe/AMI RI-5 (no sound)

Westleys bleech white ( probably spelled wrong ) is better . You can
just go get it from auto parts or many department stores . It comes in a
spray bottle just like windex .
Dont get it on anodized aluminum , it causes spots .
When washing mechs its a good idea to dry it with forced air and set it
in the sun to get it dry quickly .
Another wonderfull cleaner is ..electramotive cleaner.. by CRC in red
spray cans . 4 or 5 bucks per can and it STINKS , go outside. may hurt
paint though .

Thanks for the great cleaning tips, Good news, I got it going...turns
out the guy had a wire connector plugged into the counter plug instead
of up top on the arm for the needle.

The only thing its doing wierd is, after it plays a record (not
always) at the very end where there is about 3-4 seconds before it
reaches the end of the record and remove it to put back in the
carousel It emits a fairly loud low bass rumble which shakes the
cabinet, I've tried playing with the volume pot with no luck. Am I
correct in thinking this is the muting not working all the time? Could
I be looking at some chips or caps going bad in the amplifier ? I
have the service manual but didn't see anything about this in the
troubleshooting.

Thanks,
Joe

I may have found what was causing the above, the songs were actually
starting just a few seconds too soon, so I adjusted the tone arm
control, it still does it on a few of the records, but the rumble
doesn't seem as bad now after the songs are over before changing to
the next selection.

Thats cool .... how do your neighbors like it :-)
