AMI=Automatic Music, Incorporated. The 1962 Continental 2 Stereo-Round model that I am working on is the last model made by the original AMI company, they were then acquired by/merged with Rowe. The next model after the Continental 2 was the first to use the Rowe mechanism with the tonearm on the left side and the mechanism in the bottom of the cabinet. This same mechanism continued to be used (with some modifications for computer technology) up till the last Rowe 45 RPM jukebox.
I am thinking there are some Rowe models in the early 70's where they offered the option of a tube or solid state power amplifier. I know our Rowe MM-6 which I think is from '72 has a tube type power amp/solid state preamp.
I wish jukeboxes were more common like they once were. Pizza Hut was about the last place that wasn't a bar which had them but they seem to have taken them out.
