Sounds like a super fun project. Did you find one with the moving pages for album pictures or with the pink yellow and blue "ticket" like song listings, or? Those are so awesome, I can think of all kinds of fun ideas to retro-mod either.
- eddieroger 4y agoThanks! It is ticket listing kind. It's closed so you can't see the record mech, which is what I wanted, and I will replace song cards with ones I add to the Pi. Then I will add all kinds of hidden ones for giggles because it would be a waste to only play 200 songs. I got particularly lucky in that it came with the field repair guide, which has a solid wiring diagram and sequence that I can more or less recreate in code. My goal is to do the least amount of destruction to it that I can so I could some day replace the broken parts (ironically, the central computer) and have it restored. It being "Computer Controlled" was one of the most appealing aspects to me - there's a light up panel that reads that on the outside. It's an AMI Rowe R-88 if you'd like to see it.
