   It sounds like you may be talking about the " Selector Logic Module "   and if   
   not that the " Memorec " popularity meter circuit board.  If it is the   
   popularity meter module, your machine should be able to play without it.    
      
   For the interest of others and to answere what I have read in other posts   
   associated with this thread:   
      
   The first generation  AMI Electronic Operating System was used in models R80SS   
   up thru R83.  It was introduced part way thru the production year of R80 which   
   still employed the electromechanical system  ( search unit etc. )    
      
   It was designed to make the change from mechanical to electronic as easy and   
   well laid out as possible such as the Mech. Control module put in the same   
   place as the former Mech Control Relay.  The encoder and memory unit put in   
   the place that formerly    
   had the search unit.  Credit computer on the rear wall similar to where the   
   electro mechanincal credit unit was etc.   
      
   There was an earlier electronic credit unit used in the R-74 but as I recall   
   only used in one or two model years.   
      
   AMI's first all electronic control system as used in Models R80SS  thru R-83   
   had few problems, was quite reliable for the expected commercial life of the   
   Jukebox which is about 10 to 15 years.   
      
   There were a few problems with the custom chip used in the memory module.    
   Sometimes it would only affect the digital display  but otherwise the machine   
   would work ok. Some of them as described in this thread wh   
   en they went bad rendered the machine totally unusable.   
      
   AMI Models R-82 and R-83 were a big hit with operators because it was the   
   first cabinet design in many years with no flat surfaces where location   
   patrons could put drinks on it, use it as a table or sit on the program   
   glass.  Unfortunately if liquids    
   were spilled on the top of the machine some of it would leak through the hinge.   
      
   At one time, quite a few years ago now, I think someone came up with a   
   replacement for the custom chip used in the memory module but I can not recall   
   who it was.  Might have been someone in Texas but that is all I can remember.    
      
   I still have an R-83 that I bought many years ago, still working ( home   
   private use ) and knowing about the custom chip I bought some extra modules as   
   they were being retired from commercial service.  Sorry, at this time I am not   
   selling any of my spares.   
       
      
   You might try durfee coin op I think his website might be www.ju   
   eboxparts.com.  He might have some modules parted out of machines.   There   
   were two types of memory modules for this system.  The earlier one had a   
   separate battery and charger module.  The    
   later version which also included " autoplay " should be directly replaceable,   
   had the battery unit built into it.    
      
   These were great sounding machines when they are in good working condition.
