thanks for the kind words. I did see one error in my video.......cross over capacitors that go on the tweeters should be 15 microfarad, not 15 ohm. But any capacitor that is set up as non polarized and is between 11 mf and 18-20 mf should be ok for this tweeter protection. Capacitors don't have to be exact values in these machines......as long as they are within 10-20% of the original cap mf readings, you should be good.
Guten Tag Könne sie mir weiterhelfen. Ich habe eine Rockola 560 von meinem verstorbenen Bruder geerbt. Ich bin auf der Suche nach eine Serviceheft und Reparaturanleitung sowie dem Elektroschema. Wo bekomme ich diese Unterlagen. Danke für Ihre Antwort.
Looking for assist with Rockola 1765 stepper. Letter stepper shaft is sticky not letting spring return it home. Silver hub on gear shaft has 2 small set screws. Cannot figure out what type of head is on screw to remove. Do not believe it is Allen head. Any help appreciated. Enjoy your posts
Hello from the U.K. William. I wondered if you could advise me on a problem I have with my Rock-Ola 477 Max. It had worked pretty much perfectly until just before Christmas. I switched it on, all the lights came on and the drum rotated as normal and I put the Scan lever into the Off position ready to remove some discs and replace them with a Christmas selection. First I took some index labels out ready to replace with the new ones then when I went to scan and remove the discs nothing happened, the drum wouldn't move. I switched it on and off a couple of times but still no drum movement but all the lights still came on, then when I tried switching it on and off a third time there was nothing, no movement but also this time no lights. I have checked all the fuses I could find even those behind the power board cover and they all test OK and I have tested the incoming power cable and there is definitely 240volts (U.K.) coming into the box but interestingly the switch doesn't seem to disconnect the power. That is obviously wrong so I assume that the switch is faulty but do you have any ideas what may have blown or where there are any fuses I may have missed. I have manually checked the mechanism works by revolving the turntable and drum rotors so they are not jammed which I know is a common problem. I do have the service manual but my knowledge of electronics and circuitry isn't great. Would appreciate any thoughts you may have. Like you I am very keen to keep it running. Could send you a photo to show you the machine if you wish. Many thanks from the U.K.👍
I am not familiar with the 477. Rockola changed pretty much everything after the 474, and the results were not always the best. I deal with models 436-470 at this time. Maybe try FB Rockola groups for advice. Another resource over your way would be Peter Hillyer in Essex.
Many thanks for the reply William much appreciated especially the name of Peter Hillyer in Essex. I hadn't thought about FB so I will nip off there now. Kind regards and thanks again Ken
Hi William just to say a huge thank you again for the info. Have been talking with Peter all morning and we seem to be making progress, what a lovely and helpful chap and coincidentally some common locations and experiences! May need a PSU rebuild but Peter says he can handle that and I have learned a lot on fault finding in the process. Fingers crossed Ken - Rock-Ola on!!😊
Depends on your area. In western Pa, I sell these refurbished working as they should with a 30 day warranty for $695. And, yes, they all sell. But if I ask more, they just languish on FB marketplace. Working condition covers a wide range.......was it recently serviced and amp refurbished? If so, try to get $800-900. If it hasn't been serviced for 20 years and just happens to work, then you won't get as much. These 70's jukeboxes are good machines but don't command big bucks. Don't take less than $500 if it works fine and all the glass pieces are good. If it is in a basement and needs hauled out by the buyer, subtract $100.
Thank you so much for the info.
I'm working on a Capri. Thanks.
Thanks for the great information!!

I am not familiar with that stepper. I would join one of the FB Rockola groups and post your question.....Rockola Jukebox Club is one

Hi, my parents have this exact model they want to sell. Any idea what a ballpark price range is if it is in completely working condition? Thanks!

I have a 460, and I am a novice. I could really use your expertise. Is there a way I could contact you. My record rack is causing me issues..
best to join the FB Rockola Jukebox Club group...then post your problem/maybe a short video. I and others will try to help you
Thanks!
