I have a Rowe Ami cd 100 that we just got.The cd,s skip-music starts and stops, and it seems like the machine is not reading them [sometimes it picks a cd and returns it to rack].Anyone have any ideas-could this have been caused by moving unit[it was briefly laid on it's back to get it in and out of truck]?

Hello,
Did you lock down the jukebox mechanism (caurosel) during transportation?
Make sure that all the plugs that go to the all the circuit boards are fully seated, Unplug each in turn and plug back in MAKE SURE YOU UNPLUG THE JUKBOX FIRST if this does not sort out your problem look at the microswitches on the transfer motor (this is the mptor that tranfers the CD onto the deck) the spades on the microswitches are uninsulated so they can short out if pressed together.
The other main problem with Rowe Ami is that the boards are prone to the connection pins having dry joints (cold joints in the USA) on the soldinging to these connection pins.
It may be as well having all the boards tested by a Rowe Ami specialist.
In the USA the best guy is Bruce Wentworth (search for his details on Ebay by putting in Bruce Wentworth jukebox) or you could contact me in the UK.
