I just won a used/refurbished Rowe AMI CD-WB Wallette Wallbox on Eba
for $89.00 This guy sells them on Ebay for $89.00 everyday...

From what I have found online, I think the following is correct but
wanted to share this with the group .

WallBox Ac Power - Connects to the 2 Yellows wires of the Transforme
Output.
WallBox Power Com - Connects to Black wire of the Transformer Output.
WallBox Left CH. - Connects to the Left E3 Speaker Output Termina
inside the Jukebox.
WallBox Right CH. - Connects to the Right E3 Speaker Output Termina
inside the Jukebox.
WallBox Audio Com - Right E1 Speaker Output Terminal inside the Jukebox

WallBox Rowlink A - Splice A Oranges together then splice into CCC P1
Orange
WallBox Rowlink A - Splice A Oranges together then splice into CCC P1
Orange
WallBox Rowlink B - Splice B Whites together then splice into CCC P1
White
WallBox Rowlink B - Splice B Whites together then splice into CCC P1
White
WallBox Terminal Strip Lower Mounting Screw - appears to have had a wir
on it? Do I need to send a ground wire from this location back to th
jukebox? If so, do I need 8 conductor wire?

So I went to RadioShack today and I bought a 25.2VAC 2 amp “Powe
Transformer” #271-1512B to power up the WallBox.
It has 2 Black wires that go to a plug on one side and 2 Yellow wire
and 1 Black wire coming out of the other side that go to the WallBox. A
per the instructions on the back of the package, If I want 25.2V outpu
I have to put the 2 Yellow wires together.

I also bought a Radio Shack 2 prong non-grounding plug #0423054 and
“Inline Fuse Holder” #270-1281 that I plan to attach between th
transformer and the 2 prong plug. I also bought a Radio Shack 3 pron
grounding plug #0423056 just in case I need grounding for thi
application.

I went to Lowes and bought 50 feet of 18 gauge, 7 conductor, 30 Volt
Low Voltage Outdoor Direct Burial Sprinkler Wire.
Lowes did not have any 8 conductor sprinkler wire in stock. They di
have 18 gauge 8 conductor thermostat wire but I could not confirm if i
could handle 30 volts or not (I left my glasses home).

My questions are as follows:

1. What size fuse do I need in the “Inline Fuse Holder” and does th
fuse go on the input or output side of the transformer?

2. Do I use a 2 prong or 3 prong plug and if it is a 3 prong plug, wher
do I attach the 3rd ground wire to?

3. Can I get away with using a 7 conductor wire or do I need 8 conducto
wire for the terminal strip ground, and if I do need 8 conductor wire
where do I attach the terminal strip ground to on the jukebox side.

4. I think I need to attach the WallBox Audio Com to the E1 Speake
Output Terminal inside the Jukebox But E1 is used on the left side, Do
attach it to E1 on the right side or somewhere else?

As always… Any and all information is greatly appreciated.

Thanks again
Jeff P

Hi Jeff,

The 25 volt transformer would be ok for a Seeeburg but on a Rowe Ami yo
need 28 to 30 volts AC.

Time to get the operators manual for your CD-WB I guess.

My assumption is that "BUSY" means the system thinks there is another
wallbox that is transmitting on the system. It might be because a wire
is missing or misplaced as you only have one WB wired up...

I only have WallBox manuals for 45 machines so no troubleshooting guides
that can help in your case.
