HELP!
Does anybody have any idea
how to get the Rowe CDM-12 to
work without skipping? Ever
since the CDM-12's came out
I've had skipping problems, but
lately it's gotten out of hand.
MACHINES AFFECTED
SUBJECT
CD- lO0F phonographs prior to
serial number 540.
Rowe has introduced two kits for
the CD- lO0E jukebox.
PROBLEM
PROBLEM
My latest box to go bad, a 100-E,
is on it's third laser player and
second Mech control board. My
location just called and told me
is skipping again!
This Juke is FIVE weeks old!
This box was put in location to
replace another Rowe 100-E, that
was skipping. The firstJuke did
last about 9 months before skip-
ping. WOW. I'm beginning to
think the 45's were better.
Is anybody else having to wait 10
or more days to get a replace-
ment player? My Distributor
doesn't have any, and Rowe parts
says they won't have any for ten
days or more.
(I have the latest revision V 1.1
Player and V 5.3 EPROM on the
control board, The CD's are all
clean and the player free floats
on it's springs.)
Title rack light blocks may inter-
fere with the title rack mounting
brackets causing a jam and break-
ing pages or gears.
SOLUTION
Replace the light blocks with new
replacement parts now available.
Contact your Rowe distributor.

Glass retainer brackets on the top
door have sharp edges which can
cause injuries during routine
maintenance.
SOLUTION 1
Install protective molding on
glass retainer brackets.

Top doors can have a tendency

the door.
SOLUTION

Install CD- lO0E door brace kit.
AVAILABILITY
Contact your Rowe distributor
for more information on these
upgrade kits.
CHECK
Make sure that the money meter
and play meter wires are not rub-
bing under the player. To be
100% on this, just unplug the
meter wires from the mech con-
trol. This has been one source of
problems with this unit.

The pages would occasionally
turn but more often than not
would jam and not go any far-
ther.
