Depending on your jukebox circuit board part number, you would either be using the U1 position for part # 6-08871-04 circuit boards (Mostek) or the U2 position for 6-08871-01 boards The module comes with two pin strip headers and an IC socket. The module is self-contained with its own non-volatile memory, therefore, you can remove the NiCad backup batteryĪnd protect your jukebox computer board from destructive " acid damage". The module replaces the old microprocessor with an advanced microcontroller design to exactly duplicate the jukebox operation. Tempo, Jewel, Starburst, Starlight, Starwood, Blue Magic, Gold Magic, Romantica, Golden 7, Saphire 7, Golden 8, Saphire 8 and others. This includes all models R-84 to R-88, CTI-2, RI-3, RI-4, RI-5, Disco, Prelude, The R84CHIP is a circuit board module designed as a direct plug-in replacement for the obsolete microprocessor chip in Rowe jukeboxes that use the 6-08870-0x Central Control Computer. I would highly recommend that you have one of these as a spare. If you repair these boards, then you know how much damage the leaking acid can cause. Not only can it be used for the -01 and -04 circuitīoards, it also eliminates the Ni-Cad backup battery.

With over 10 years of design experience with these jukeboxes, and several weeks of work, I developed a direct plug-in replacement for this Controller IC called the R84CHIP module.

Several control boards missing the computer chip. I know, because I have serviced several of these boards myself, and like many other repair centers, had to salvage this part from other boards. To charge much higher prices to repair these boards. If you own a Rowe/AMI jukebox, models R-84 through R-88, you probably didn't know that the custom computer chip used in the Central Control Computer is obsolete and no longer available.
