Thanks for being so entertaining! I watch them all. My boys and I would love to come visit someday, but you'd probably say, "I thought those guys would never leave!" :) Keep it up. We love your team!
Todd and TNT Amusement fans: There are some sparsely populated arcade games popping up in our nearly empty local malls. This one caught my eye the other day and I had to play. It was a SEVEN FOOT TALL PAC MAN! The screen is made up of low density LEDs. I'd say the game play is more like a traditional Pac Man except it allows for simultaneous co-op. I thought it was pretty cool. Here's a link to an image I took goo.gl/photos/eCzwawGLFsyLYBEeA
Hi, I have a rowe ami r94, it worked perfectly until yesterday, from today appears on the display er 39, what does it mean? Can you help me understand what it depends on? Thanks in advance for your reply.
You seem so knowledgeable and I'm wondering if you could help me out with my R-85. When I turn on the jukebox it continues to play random records until I hit the "Clear Selection Memory" button. I have the continuous play button set to off but it just keeps playing records. If I select a record it does not play it next. It's a little irritating having to open it up and hit the clear button every time I turn it on. Any ideas?
@@tntamusements Thank you!. I replaced the battery and it is working great. The battery had leaked and corroded the wires on the diode just adjacent to it so I replaced that too. Also re-soldered those cold pins. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!!
Hi Todd. If I change the battery on my Rowe CD jukebox (video on my channel) will it erase the initialized cd track settings? And which board is the battery cell in?
Yes it will IF YOU TURN POWER OFF when changing it....leave the machine on, and change it out to preserve the settings..its on the main board on the back wall of the machine inside the black box..
I just uploaded a video of me changing my battery on my Rowe cd jukebox. I am proud of this video! The problem was that they didn't make the prongs long enough on the new battery :(
We sell the lithium battery board to replace the Aa batteries forever...then it's one round cell to change and it will not leak..it's four legs to solder into the board where old battery holder wat
I have a Rowe 94 and how do you reset the security code when you cannot play selections ending in 8 and 9 I have looked through the manual. it tells you to go to location 29. I have no clue to reset it if you can tell me please reply.
Hi Todd. Love your video posts. I have a Rowe R89 Video Jukebox with everything but those old Beta decks and wiring to the Control Center and Video unit. What I was wondering is what are the codes to change back to Auto play and coin operation and how to change the pricing. Also, is there only 2 settings to the auto play (attract mode) of 20 and 40 mins or can it be programmed to any specific time to play? Thanks for great videos and info on arcade games.
You have to find a book for it...its easy to turn those features on and off in the menu. The battery has to be changed though, so the new settings you make will stick after you turned it off.
Todd When I change the records on service mode and put the lid down the free play mode disables. Is it because of the battery in the Jukebox? I have an Rowe R-94. Same as this machine. Is there something I can do to avoid that. Because everytime I replace a record I have to reprogram the Jukebox to free play. Todd please give me some info.
Does anyone remember that the CD Rowes after 20 minutes played a random track from every 3rd CD? If all 100 slots were filled, all 100 CDs got a random track played from it. I would know what CD it would move to, but if someone put money in and played it, it would delay it. I saw some cut free plays off when an entry was keyed in, others didn't. Many they took out random play because it was interrupting sports games, they had other filler music, or other reasons. Those jukeboxes were better than the app MP3 players they got now. The touch screens cost more for a credit. Not every song on an album are on those. I see the same selection on several or what all of them don't have. Bring those back.
Yes! An 8 bit computer is very common for simple electronic devices. In binary, a 8 bit number gives you the ability to represent any number between 0 and 255, in this case 255 is simply 11111111. It's simple for the programmers who made the chip to use 11111111 as opposed to some other number because its simple to type and its easy to remember.
That may happen at some point...we had someone who needed to see how to set the free play back on (after installing new battery) so I thought this would also help alot of other people too! TNT ALWAYS thinks of even the non TNT customers! :-)
course naturally cd's skip about as bad as 45's. although a cracked cd probably won't work but a cracked 45 depends on how good the needle is :P Cracked 78's? (and I'm sure there's a few 78's??, isn't there a 16 speed record. too slow) I have alot of 78's, many of them are over 100 yrs old :O, although Bobo the clown is really hard to get it to play properly because of where the tracks are in location to the center. oh how thrilling. A cracked 78 because the groove is so large usually plays just fine even with a bad needle :P

How do I change records in my Rowe AMI R-89 "Golden 89", please? (I just bought a used one with no manual) Thanks

Maybe try a google search...I do not know that code...

there is a rechargeable battery in it...its dead and there is garbage in the memory

What size battery used in a R86 if I use a coin battery holder would I have to have a blocking diode ? I can't find any info on this.
I believe it was a ni cad 2/4 volt battery

those CREEPS with those prongs!
Do you guys sell the battery holder for the board? I’d like to buy one from you. How difficult is it to remove the old battery and attach the holder?
We sell the lithium battery board to replace the Aa batteries forever...then it's one round cell to change and it will not leak..it's four legs to solder into the board where old battery holder wat
@@tntamusements where can I find it? How do I order it?

that means its set up for a CD player...so it plays 80 45rpms and 6 CD's...you have to find the option to turn it back to 100 plays.
Thanks. We got it figured out..

Thanks Todd. I'll see about getting the manual for it. The one I have is for the R86..lol,
Hey Todd am looking at a ROWE CD-100G for sale is there any thing in particular to look for that is usually a problem with those?
make sure its not rusting out or was underwater at some point!

sounds like a dead lithium battery...they only has perhaps 6 years
That's what I thought Thanks Todd.

255 is the last number in an 8-bit register.
Ahhh...could that be the method of their madness?

Where can I get that replacement battery holder ?
from our store on the website www.tntamusements.com they are $13.99 each
@@tntamusements Thank you !
still like to see a proper "TV SET" color calibration video to get that perfect arcade screen. enquiring minds want to know.

I may go into the 78rpm business...I think there is a growing demand for them!
oh well there is always the Wax Cylinders :O now finding a player to play those is harder than 78's :) (I don't have any!!)
