This works kind of. It plays and sounds good, but sometimes you can't choose what you want it to play. What might this be worth and are there ways to get this checked out and repaired?

I live in the Pacific Northwest and we have a lot of jukebox aficionados here that repair/restore machines. Sometimes you'll find that people that work on pinball machines and older stereo's also are qualified.
One worker mentions: check the "Selector Indicator Switch. If it's dirty and/or bent, it's an easy fix to cleaning and straighten."
Thanks for the info. Is the selector indicator switch the one that shows which selection is playing? The Central Control Computer has an led panel that does not light.
I'm not sure. Might be a fuse actually? Here's a site where you can purchase and download jukebox maintenance and repair manuals (pdf format) for around $15 USD; yours is a "Romantica (1982)".

Thanks. I ordered a parts manual and service manual from the place CDC mentioned above.
I would like to find people that work on them, because i had a great pinball machine but couldnt find anyone in my area, so i dumped it. Im now picking up a rowe ami stereo 200 jukebox, and im sure its going to need something...lol

I agree with Iceskater. You have Rowe AMI RI-5 "Romantica" 160 Selection Jukebox 1982 www.jukebox-world.de/

Can't you choose what you want it to play because the magazine rotates and doesn't stop immediately?
More than likely you have a problem with the Sprag Assembly (40721901). It could be that the pawl on the Sprag lever assembly is not adjusted correctly or may be that the Sprag Wheel is damaged (these can wear out with the teeth worn through) or the stem bushing may have rotted away (this can happen if the mechanism is oiled in this area). I suggest you stop this part of the mechanism down and check the above.
