This is about the restoration of an AMI Continental 2.
The jukebox was broken when I got it.
The amplifier didn't make any sound and the mechanism did not move. A relais started rattling whenever the box was powered. The coin acceptor unit was missing and the credit unit severely damaged. The wood of the box was partly damaged by water. And the speakers as well.
But not everything was bad. The lights light up at the first try. And all components (besides the coin acceptor unit) have been there.
All in all the situation wasen't hopeless...
