AMI? Rockola turntable motor-part # 233579-4-A
Hi,
Turntable motor part in hand. Looks like Rock-ola turntable motor, but has triangular metal plat above motor, attached to motor housing by three bolts. One black rubber grommet in one of three mounting holes on one of the three corners of mounting plate. Also has two brass "feed in" oil tubes (similar to Seeburgs), one at top of motor and one at bottom of motor. Has a very SHORT shaft coming out top of motor (less than a half inch) with no ridge on top for a "c" clip to attach a rubber idler wheel. The connecter is a three pin (center pin missing) that resembles a Rockola connecter to a sixties junction box beneath the turntable; but it is "spliced in" to the two wires. The white lettering stamped onto it reads "75V-60c", and the apparent part # reads 233579-4-A If the motor is rotated one more quarter turn, the white lettering says "GI40440", with the numbers underneath reading "190-6506. My question to anyone familiar is, what do I have here? I figure it's a turntable motor, but am not sure if it's originally from an AMI with a connector spliced in to adapt to a rock-ola? Or what? The triangular mounting plate above the motor is not consistent with rock-ola turntable motors I've worked on before. Could it even be from a Wurlitzer of the 50s, 60s, or 70s? Does any one have access to the part #s to cross-check the # on my motor against to see what indeed this motor goes to? Thanks in advance, Rob |

Okay....I apparently once again bit off more than you could chew! I did
figure it out. Thanks to those who looked (and maybe even considered answering). Best, Rob Hi, Turntable motor part in hand.

Thanks for giving us all of 32 hours to do the research. We didn't know
someone's life depended on it. Since you figured it out yourself, you don't have to pay someone fpr their time,but you CAN send a nice check to charity. And thanks for sharing the answer with us that are still chewing. Charlie. |

AMI? Rockola turntable motor-part # 233579-4-A
Sorry, Charlie....didn't mean to ruffle your feathers. The person I did
this for had just bought an AMI JAL off ePay, and had told me the turntable motor was running backwards when it tried to play a record. That was Monday. After mulling it around for a couple of days, trying to figure out WHY an AC motor would be going the wrong direction, I called the person back to find out she lived only ten minutes away from me. I figured the best way for me to help them out would be to take the motor off my JAL and try it in theirs. I couldn't get the bolts loosened enough to get mine off, but I did have the motor I described in my post from Thursday. I took it with me yesterday afternoon around 3:15 New York time, after checking the site to see if anyone had answered my query from Thursday. When I got to her house, her turntable was running the correct direction, but the tonearm hadn't been secured when they brought their jukebox home, and the needle was so badly worn from bouncing up and down on the turntable, it wasn't tracking the record grooves, appearing to go back out to the beginning of the record (hence bacwards to them). I was still curious about the motor I had lying loose (I got it years ago in a parts deal, so I never knew what model juke it came out of). When I got back on this site after I had arrived back home from the JAL owner's house, I saw no one had yet replied to my original question from the previous day. I wanted to let everyone out there know I didn't need the information I had asked for originally, and didn't feel it was worth the lengthy discussion/explanation I am giving now. But since you replied to my second post, I'm now taking the time to explain that I don't need the info....it was just a bad needle, but I didn't know that because I had not yet been to their house to look at the jukebox. I was trying to see if the number on the motor was an AMI part or a Rockola part#. It does look like a Rockola part #, but the triangular mounting plate on top of the motor was something I had never seen before. I figured the detailed explanation I gave of the motor's description might trigger someone to say something like "yes, that triangular mounting plate is on only these two year's models of an AMI/Wurlitzer/Rockola, and never on any other model!" I didn't really think of anyone really going to look it up; I thought since it was different than other turntable motors (the three cornered mounting plate), and someone would say it's from this model/manufacturer. Yes I do send checks to Charity; I suppose not everyone does. Take care Charlie, and once again I'm sorry. Rob Thanks for giving us all of 32 hours to do the research. We didn't know someone's life depended on it. Since you figured it out yourself, you don't have to pay someone fpr their time,but you CAN send a nice check to charity.
