I think I broked it
« on: July 26, 2014, 04:33:50 PM »
Hey Guys..As some of you know I have a 64 Rowe Ami Jukebox that seems to be a never ending project...anyway I did get it working sort of, actually sounded real good too for a while..I bought it with no key so drilled the lock out, as you do  ^.^   and over the years got sick of getting the screwdriver to open it so in one of my blonde moments I removed the lock bars thinking it wouldn't lock again...I was wrong   ^.^
Now I can't open it at all..I don't know what has locked because I have removed both the lock and bars..any suggestions how to open it ...
Cheers Peach  %$%

Nah... ive done this myself and managed to get into it. I disabled the top lock bar then closed the front and of course couldn't get back into it. How did I get in there???... im trying to remember but I managed to gain access to the spring load catches for the front and pull them away one by one.. once the front is down you can get to the ones for the top. How exactly, I cannot remember!

Hang on.. I might have taken the front off to get in... it comes away from the bottom?

Here are the locking mechs one on each side it looks like you might be able to get something thin in and force back the catches
