Bought an complete Ami D-80 few days ago. Truly was in a barn.  Power box cord   
   broken, Amp cord destroyed, Carriage parts would not move, Wiring to lights   
   destroyed, Must have been a hi rise motel for mice. Removed the carriage   
   assembly. Got it cleaned    
   up with everything free now, Replaced the power supply cord, plugged it in and   
   all voltages looks good. Replaced the amp cord, plugged it in and all tubes   
   lit up. Don't know how but beside the power and light cords I haven't found   
   any wires chewed in to.    
   I have the carriage in back of the box. Hooked up the power supply and amp.   
   Turned it on and the thing worked fairly well. I have to push the selector   
   switch down manually to get it to operate but I have it moving, stopping at   
   the switch, installing the    
   record, puts it back when it hits the stop switch. You can hear the record   
   play but I cant get it any louder. Not sure my volume control switch is good   
   but I think it is. I would be surprised if its the amp as other than the   
   surface rust it was really    
   clean inside. Is there a mute switch some where and so where is it located.   
   When I start the record the amp comes on like it is suppose to and after the   
   record stops it shuts off so it would seem the amp is working like its suppose   
   to. so if I can get    
   the sound up I might end up with a good box. Any help is appreciated. Thanks
