   AMI Rowe TI-2 Problem   
   18 Dec 11 22:48:20

   Hello again people,   
   I would like to start by thanking Kreed for the last post response, it   
   sorted my problem and its playing nice.   
   But...A couple of little annoying things,   
      
   1. It sometimes doesn't want to play selections 101-120 or so. Any selection   
   after usually works fine. When you select  say 101, it goes off and plays   
   185 instead, seems to have a pattern to it playing the same record number   
   each time, sometimes its the immediate next record. Sometimes does the   
   search and then just goes to its home position and plays nothing.   
   The digits register on the display correctly so Iam thinking maybe the   
   encorder or the memory unit are fowling up somehow.   
   2. It sometimes (after playing a slected record) goes off and does its own   
   thing playing records at random sometimes selecting non-existant records in   
   the in-between gaps on the selector.   
      
   I have checked the continuous play switch (20mins 40 mins etc) and its set   
   to off.   
   I think the memory unit on this. I will probably replace the pin headers and   
   sockets connecting the encoder to the memory unit and see how it goes. All   
   LED's sequences are indicating correctly going off the manual.   
   3. I get a pop noise, when the record finishes, its like the mute relay is   
   kicking the sound a little too late after the needle lifts off the record at   
   its end.   
   Probably an adjustment on a switch or is this normal? If its a switch,   
   which?   
      
   Otherwise, its working great. I have the manual now and its a re-print and   
   doesn't include the section on the encoder alignment :( and I really want to   
   get in and oil it in the right places and tune it up, it deserves it. The   
   manual I think is very good, it also shows how to solder components and   
   remove IC's, test transistors and the like, didnt expect so much detail like   
   this in a manual like this.   
   I hope you guys can help.   
      
   Regards all and a Merry Juke-Box Party Christmas.   
      
   Cliff
