Thread starter clanggedin Start date Aug 1, I just picked up an NSM City II and the carriage picks up the record and attempts to play it, but it appears that the spring that pulls up the motor is failing because it does not pull the motor to the wheel to spin the record.

It I push up the motor and threcord will play. I am not sure if replacing the spring will fix the issue. Is there something else that could be causing the motor to not engage the wheel? Also, the audio does not feel as full and rich as I remember fro jukes could it just need new needles or should I upgrade the speakers to get the best sound? The glass on the front of the City II is broken is ther anyone who sell replacement glass or plexi for the front??

KenLayton In Memoriam. Well, I fixed the issue with the record not playing once it was loaded into the carriage. It pulled the spring and squished it down and then reinstalled it and that fixed the issue. After that was done another issue cropped up.

The carriage decided not to see the end of the rail it is attached to and would click forever. I pulled the cage off of the cherry switches and noticed a loose wire which I soldered on, which seemed to fix the problem temporarily. I believe the switch must be going bad because it will work for a little bit then stop working. It will play the first song I select if it is in the s, but it fails to play any additional song added to the queue. I am going to replace the switches today hopefully if the local electronics store carries this size in stock.

If that fixes the issue then all I will need to do is replace the glass on the front with a replacement and it will be good to go. How's it coming along? Too bad your wife likes the other one better, can't say I blame her. A touch screen, custom built, can't go wrong. I replaced 2 cherry switches on the carriage yesterday and it works like a charm now. Minor scratch on glass Gas prop rods that hold up door.

Carriage will not track left and right when music selected The solenoid on the carriage unit was stuck. The pin would not move at all. I did not have a replacement part so I forced the pin out of the solenoid, used a drill bit to oversize the plastic sleeve by a thousands of an inch and now the pin slides without issues. Put everthing back together and tested firing the solenoid from the relay. That worked fine. Wham bam thank you mam, the carriage now tracks left and right.

The tracking one direction is really slow in one direction, and regular in the other direction. Over multiple testing cycles the carriage is not always recognizing it is in rest position or starting position located at the far right of the track. Not sure if this is an optio issue or not. Add optio checkup to the list. No sound Now that the carriage is tracking left and right lets try to select a sound and listen to some tune. Oh boy the carriage tracks to the 3 digit selection and the 7 segment display show the tracking with each selection as the carriage moves.

Thats good news the optio is working.. The carriage stops and it loads the correct record. The motor spins and so does the record. I check out the amp and volume controls. Try to turn up volume and pots to get sound. Checking the schematic I see the 4 pin volume wires are connect to the wrong place on the board.

Connect them up Scratch my head for a while. Hmm, what will happen if I switch from stereo to mono switch on main board. We have sound!!!!!!! Now I am listening to records but volume is a bit low for a watt system. I want the windows to rattle when I crank this beastie. Amp rebuild on the check list.

After several testing cycles I see the sound is only coming from the left base speak and top left speaker. I have seen a could of examples whereby jukebox have been hacked to enable mp3 music capabilities. In some cases the interior of the box is gutted and replaced with a ipod with some fancy controls on the outside.

I want to retain all the charm of the original controls and playing the records with the traditional controls. I also want internet radio and mp3 songs to stream thru the jukebox amp. Plus I want my ipad or phone to control it. Already did this with my radio, now Do it again with the juke box. Question is how to do it?

So one method is to hook into the optional wall box controls of the jukebox. A raspberry pi could provide a web service to the ipad to act as an external wall box control system. Method two is Replace all controls and displays with my own version of new 7 segment displays and touch screens.

If I go touch screen, I will drop the present buttons and 7 seg display all together. Should I go this direction, the machine will lose some of its present character. A web interface is a must plus streaming to bluetooth speakers placed outside or in different rooms in the house.

The pi will be used for this. Decisions decisions. Will post pictures and youtube of radio and jukebox in action. Scrub brush, and tooth bush to clean the exterior black plastic.

The top speaker covers were caked with years of gunk. The bottom speaker grill will need black paint. Windex to the glass and new sparkle was found. Used automotive dashboard cleaner to add shine to the black plastic works.

Cleaning the 45 rpm records all 80 of them. Yup the records had dust and other foreign particles. Cleaned them with a kit from Crosley Vinyl cleaner. Basically its a plastic tube with a micro fiber cloth and gentle pads inside which clean the record surface.

Just add water and the scoops of the gentle cleaning solution. Insert the record in and rotate the record 3 times in each direction. Then wipe dry with micro fiber cloth. Burnt out bulbs There are 6 12volt bulbs located in the control panel.

Found replacement bulbs at princess auto. They are 12 volts. There is a small twist cap that the bulbs sit in. Simple matter of untwist, replace bulb and put them back in place. Replace gas prop rods I found the prop rods at princess auto too.

They were 23 inches pin to pin. They need to have mounting points modified to fit, soo I will hold off installing until after the re caping of the capacitors and amp rebuild. Spent the weekend reviewing the schematics and building my shopping list for capacitors, resistors, etc. The control unit has one connector that has nothing plugged into it. Its labeled electronic wallbox. The schematics I have don' really include this.

Any one have schematics for the nsm city 2? I might be able to use this for my connections to arduino controls. No 5volt led light on. No lights to 7 segments display. Guess no power to control unit.

Have the jukebox laying on its back and removed the 8 2inch long screws holding the base wood plate from bottom of cabinet. Now I am checking the transformer inside of the base and checking voltages on transformer Getting Excpecting 43 vac, 22vac, 26 vac and 12 vac so not far off unit looks good no burn or brown marks. Since I have the base open I may as well inspect base speakers too. See pictures. My 5volt led being out was from blown fuse Si2. Replacing the fuse returned the working control lights on the 7seg displays and the all the control bulbs.

I was able to play two records and the same fuse blew again. I really need to find the schematics so I can trace the circuit and order the replacement resistors, caps, etc. Sent an email to nsm usa looking for help, no reply. They have a recent "we have been sold and ami is new owner, business to continue same as usual" Guess I'll never hear boo from them. Tried John from jukebox parts, he has no schematics.

Crap, crap, crap. After much searching I found the schematics at radiomuseum. My fuse blowing issue was from my 12 volt light bulbs on the console. After I removed the 6 bulbs and ran the jukebox every thing was fine no blown fuses. Guess I need to order my part to rebuild the board. Latest observation. I can add credits to the machine. After the record plays I get an err1 and the credits do not decrease.

The unit moves on to play my next selection. Not sure what is causing this. After I reprogrammed the credit unit the credit issue is now adding and removing credits properly. Programming requires lifting the lid of the jukebox. When P is displayed in the 7segment display I pressed 8 to clear all credits the press the finger icon button.

Next close the lid of jukebox and no credits display. Next add two credits and choose two records to play. Each record plays and properly reduces credit count one record at a time. Ok that works okay dookie. Had a evening of listening to the jukebox play. Loaded up 23 records and exercised the controls of the machine.

Inserted 25 cent coins for each record selection and monitored behavior of machine. When this machine starts its scan it begins from the right and scans to the left, displaying digits to on the 7 segment display. When it travels left to right the display counts up from to Of course the enables the selection of the A Or B side of the record to be played.

During the scan from right to left the pace of the carasel is slow. After the record is played and the carasel is tracking to the right again the pace is excellerated.
