I know one of them is worth quite a bit just for the laser unit itself its in quite a few high end setups (phil will know more).. I just can't remember what's in this

Just commenting as I seem to be becoming a serial Rowe AMI juke addict (well, on my second), I love the mechanism on these. It's so simple, but so effective and satisfying to watch. Both the vinyl one I had and sold and the CD one I have now just needed a little fettling initially and then not an issue since.

I keep coming back to this and to look but Mrs Ash has told me in no uncertain terms no more....so that's the end of it....

I think the selection mechanism is crying out to be put on display rather than shut away in the hideaway unit.

The only reason I stopped using this one (at the time I wanted the floor space) so i picked up a Nsm juke 2000 so all the cds where in the wallbox.
I still haven't printed out the selection labels for the nsm and they are only little cards

@Ashbo I love watching the carousel mechs too they should all be on show... Would be nice to make a box with clear perspex and some cool lighting

Agree, they are awesome. Forgot to say, the amps on these sound lovely (in my opinion). I have a sound leisure wall box juke and it's nowhere close to the Rowe.

are the cds in the wall unit or that big unit underneath?

The cds go in the big unit (hideaway)
You can then put that wherever and run cables to the wallbox

@AlanJ
CDM3 and CDM4 are virtually impossible to repair - there are no laser heads left.
CDM12, CDM Pro and CDM Pro 2 are repairable for £80-110.

There is one guy who uses 2nd hand parts on ebay to repair CDM3/4 lasers.

 

[AlanJ]

are these all philips mechs?

I'm learning a lot in this sale ad, fascinating stuff . @FinalFight hope you don't mind me posting this info.

Philips players and lasers are using in Sound Leisure, Rowe ami, Rock ola jukeboxes.

I have three CDM 12 pro 2 lasers in front of me that are going to cost me nearly £120 each to get repaired. I can get lasers for the CDM12 / CDM12 industrial player for £20. But the newer diode lasers are so rare suppliers are asking £90 plus vat.

Half the ones on ebay do not work, same with the chinese ones.
