Jukebox help ***Please***

[Peach]

Hi Guys,I`m hoping someone knows something about these.
I have got a 64 Rowe Ami jukebox and it is driving me nuts.   
I think the speed shift coil is buggered,I could be wrong cause I know stuff all about them but the records are playing real slow and after looking through the manual that seems to be the cause,so my question is do I have to get the exact same coil to replace it or can other coils be matched to them.

I'm trying to remember how the Rowe AMI was setup but I know on many of the models you could simply bypass the shift coil by mechanically locking the coil into the engaged position.  If I recall the speed shift was used if you were going to use both 33 1/3 records and 45 records.  I would guess you are only using one speed records and not using a mix.

I have bypassed the coil but the records are still playing slow,so that wasn`t the problem, any ideas on what to look at next ?

Hi Peach
         I have two of these in the shed at the moment and one of them did play slowly.    Take a look at the shaft out of the drive motor.   On of mine had a coil type shaft and the other had a rubber cover over it.    If yours has no rubber over it try using a piece of heat shrink over the shaft to give it some grip.
