Besides that, their color spectrum was hideous. These produced a lot of excess heat and wasted a lot of power so they had to go. The original interior lighting consisted of two 48" T12 fluorescent bulbs and three 60W incandescent bulbs. The next step was to improve the lighting system. The CD's turn in the animation window and the color change tube inside the cab keeps the display background and catalog bezel actively changing colors. To my surprise, I discovered that Happ-Suzo carries a lot of common Rowe parts so I was able to just order most of the required components such as new dashboard keys, animation motors, lock with key, air-cylinders (to hold the front door open), and miniature lamps.Īfter tons of cleaning and installing the new parts and lights, things started looking a lot better. The two main advantages of the purchase were that it was local and that it was inexpensive ($400 delivered). The catalog mechanism didn't work properly. The painted graphics on the buttons were all worn off and some glass in the dashboard was missing. The animation motors were burnt out and there were no CD's and no locks. Nothing would light up and only the left side amplifier was working. In half decent shape considering the age. I picked up this 1991 Rowe CD-100B jukebox a couple of years ago
This jukebox was certainly not built with that lame attitude and it'll still be rockin' another 20 years from now. That's because their built to be disposable. You're not likely going to ever see a 20 year old iPod that works.
#ROWE AMI CD JUKEBOX COLORED GLASS PORTABLE#
Well, they may be portable and they hold a million songs, but sorry kids, daddy's box still kicks your gizmo's ass even at 20-plus years old. Kids today think they have the best things going with their teensie weensie fiddly piddly iPods and mp3's. Every home arcade or game room needs rockin' tunes to keep everyone's energy pumping.
