I'm interested in owning a jukebox - and surfed this video of the AMI R88.

A basic question, isn't the turntable spinning the wrong way for the needle?   I would have thought it would spin the other way around:

The record has to spin that way or you're going to hear all the subliminal, backward messages all the time...

Many of these older AMI are like this.

The cartridge/needle is installed 'backwards' under the tone arm to accomodate this
'different than usual' direction of rotation of the record.

- Sylvain.


Looking for 1966 Bally Capersville, 1967 Bally The Wiggler, 1981 Stern Viper, 1986 Pinstar Gamatron,
1986 Williams Grand Lizard, 1991 Williams Bride of Pinbot, and a few others.
Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for
one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!
