      I converted an AMI Rowe WRC-200 with wallbox2mp3 V1.5 software. The problem is the connection of the speakers. According to the manual, these belong to terminals 5 and 6, as well as 7 and 8?

      If you connect them here, there is no sound. That’s why I connected the cables directly to the speakers. But I would like to control the volume with the LOW, MED, HIGH buttons also. Does anyone have a solution how to connect the speakers, or is that not possible?

      I’d be interested in this one as well.  I have a WRA with a V1.4 emulator so it was not really an option but if it can be done with a V1.5 I would swap over to the new emulator.  I was able to get  on board volume controls working with a V1.5 on a Wurlitzer 5220 but of course the wiring set up is different.  Hopefully it is not as difficult as the Seeburg  SC solution in the tutorials section:

      Did you try :

      BLU 5 = Left +
      RED 6 = Left –

      BRN 7 = Right +
      O 8 = Right –

      Yes, as described but no sound will transmitted.

      Hi Roger

      I converted a WRA 200 a couple of years ago, I can’t remember having any issues with the audio side of things.

      I assume that you have fitted a wire from terminal #2 Vac to # 4 as shown in the manual, only other thing I can suggest is check that the contacts in the Audio control relay are clean,  making a good circuit &  closed when they should be.

      On Seeburg SC’s I clean the contacts then close them manually and secure them with a small cable tie so the contacts remain closed, I also disconnect the trigger wire from the relay so that it doesn’t buz or get hot.

      Cheers Scudie
