ROWE JUKEBOXES ARE JUNK!!!!

AMI was a gepany that made good Jukes, so did Seeburg, Rock-Ola, Wurlitzer. They had a gameplan.. but when ROWE bought out AMI.. they made a mess of it.. cut courners, cheaped out.. Infact I will not work on one.A goodexample of this the moved thetone arm from the right (as AMI made them) to theleft, They basically took all what AMI did and trashed it. The day AMI sold out to Rowe was the last day AMI made a goodmachine. The last AMI machine made wasin 1962,and was the Continental 2. (as seen in The Movie Ghost and as most recently as the movie "Death Proof". What a Beauty)Ninety Nine percent of Rowe jukeboxes have no style you can't see the records play in them and they are generally boring machines.The ROWESare just nasty cheaped out hunks of junk and you will have years of trouble out of it. They cannot be fixed right as they were not built right! I have gepared mech's amps and just about every other part in the Rowe vs the AMI and it seems to me when Rowe took over AMI they started off on the wrong foot on day one. As you look at later models of Rowe jukeboxes you can clearly see that they cheap out on the quailty of the parts (some of the steel parts get smaller and then they move to plastic in some cases). Rowe jukeboxes are the cheapest to buy on okay and that is for a good reason too. If you buy a Rowe good luck on re-selling it as the price the price always goes down on that machine. They are not easy to fix and if you have someone willing to repair it your talking alot of money to get it serviced IF they can repair it. Also they are hard to find parts for and if you can they are the "sky's the limit for the price of the part" and then you only still have a reapired Rowe jukebox. If you still question what I have to say, see what they are selling for here on okay They do not sell for alot of money and never will. Plain Bad investment and years of Headache in my opinion. If you hug a Rowe jukebox hard enough you'll get lemon Juice.
