Juke Boxes , any pointer to technical overview ?

Nov 20, 2005 11 Replies

I've been asked to repair a Rockola Juke Box of the 1970s. Owner has a technical manual for that model but I would like to do some more general backgroung research particularly on the mechanicals/electro-mechanicals beforehand. I've previously only repaired an amplifier from a Juke box but the upcoming problem relates to the mechanicals, anyone have a URL of a technical appreciation/exploration ?

I don't know, but it might be interesting to do a search on Rock-Ola to see what comes up.

I recall on the news a few years ago, I heard Mr. Rockola died. Many people thought the name was some sort of play on words using a combination of "Rock 'n Roll" and "Victrola", but there really was a fellow named Rockola who founded the company.

There are several RockOla experts there.

What's wrong with it? I used to work on them a couple of life times ago. The amplifiers are pretty straight forward. There is a rotating drum with moving contacts on it that sometimes need to be cleaned. There are motors running the record carousel and the gripper arm motor. Always start with the power supply and work out from there.
