Rowe/ami mm3 running backwards
I bought a Rowe mm3 with the 1100 mechanism. It takes selections and
picks up the record fine, but the turntable is running backwards (ie clockwise). I have taken a quick look at this and nothing jumps out at me as wrong. I was wanting to see if anyone else had run into this problem before I start tearing it apart. Thanks, Mark |

The platter is *supposed* to turn clockwise. Is this one of those AMI's with the tonearm on the left side of the platter? ...with the cartridge mounted "backwards"? If so, that may be where your confusion arises. Do not be tempted to mount the cartridge the other way around! --Bob ================================================== ===================== Bob Ellingson Halted Specialties Co., Inc. http://www.halted.com 3500 Ryder St. (408) 732-1573 Santa Clara, Calif. 95051 USA (408) 732-6428 (FAX) |

Why did AMI ever do that, anyway?

Bob, The tonearm is on the left side as you look at it from the front. I'm more of a pinball guy, so this is new to me. I'll look at the cartridge and see if that looks right. Currently the needle just falls off the record, it never starts to track across. Mark Mark wrote: I bought a Rowe mm3 with the 1100 mechanism.

I'm feeling kind of stupid on this one. I guess I haven't seen a
record player int about 5 years. It just didn't seem to make sense that it was rotating that direction based on the location of the tone arm. After looking closer at it, it looks like all I need is a new needle.. Mark KLR wrote in message . .. On 31 Jan 2004 17:05:13 -0800, (Mark) wrote: I bought a Rowe mm3 with the 1100 mechanism.

They were able to simplify the mechanism thus making it more reliable.
