This heat has to be dissipated to
prevent overheating of its own
components as well as the elec-
tronic devices that share a cabi-
net with it. In fact, a CD M-12
player can start skipping as low
as 110 degrees F. The more heat
you can vent out of the cabinet
the better the machine will oper-
ate.

Service Tip: If you want to test the
Syber Sonic computers' response to the
page unit drive motor and opto-sen-
sor, set Last Page to 99 then press
HITS. Once the pages stop moving
check to see if the Last Page reset it-
self to the proper value. If it did not,
check the opto-sensor, opto-sensor
harness and page unit harness.
NEW AMPLIFIER IIEATSINK
Rock-Ola Manufacturing is con-
stantly looking for ways to im-
prove our product line. We've
just introduced another perfor-
mance enhancement that may go
unnoticed but is important none-
theless. I know this news will
have you all jumping out of your
seats! OK, so it's not that excit-
ing, but please read on anyway.
You know that heat is an enemy
to most electronic components.
One of the keys to the long life
of any electronic device is to keep
it as cool as possible. Amplifiers
produce a great amount of heat.
Take advantage of this before
Glenn comes back to his
senses!
ciently removes heat from the
cabinet because it has three more
fins to give it more radiation area
In fact, our new heatsink exceeds
the standard for efficiency and
safety. All this means the cabinet
is cooler and the jukebox will be
even more reliable.
Our original heatsink was ex-
truded aluminum with steel side
brackets to mount the driver
boards and the amplifier to the
cabinet. The new heatsink is a
one piece die-cast aluminum unit.
Designing and building the new
heatsink took a lot of time and
money, over $40,000 for tooling
alone. By making the new part a
one piece design, we were able
to eliminate the two side mount-
ing brackets and hardware. Also,
the amplifier is now mounted
directly to the cabinet.
Fewer components, simpler de-
sign and more efficient are all
parts of the Rock-Ola KISS Prin-
ciple. Talk about a win .. . win situ-
ation!
