Anybody happen to have a "F" manual handy?

I'll be able to let you know later today, but I don't recall a Model "F"; I'll check and post back...

It kindof looks like the front end of a mack truck doesn't it  Actually I think they are good looking. A little odd but thats what gives it character

[BrianB]

That's why I like them!!  I've already found that they are super easy to work on. Everything is very accessible. I'll be taking the amp soon to rebuild it, new caps all around, check the tolerances on the resistors and, test all of the tubes to see where they sit.

Other than that, I'm just going to clean it up, repaint the exterior and get everything back where it should be. I love how the mechansim works on these beasties, a lot more action than say a 50's vintage Seeburg juke.

And from what I heard, AMI's can really kick out  the jams.
Awesome find, can't wait ti see pics when she's done

Hey Brian,

I do have a Model "F" Service Manual but it's not a self-contained book. By this I mean, the manual is part/section of a big binder filled with other models and equipment. I do have the models "C", "E", and "G" as individual manuals with a nice company binder...

I know that Victory and Ebay sells them but I'm all about being a "cheap-o"

I could provide a decent copy for FREE ! ! !

I have a chance to buy a G120 for only $200 and its local. Should I go for it. I would be buying to fix and clean up and sell.

[BrianB]

They are fun boxes to work on. $200 is a good price for a box in decent condition. Does it work?

[loman4ec]

It is totally disassembled. They say its nice. I am going to go look at it probably tomorrow.
