Ron, you are so right! People, be carefull on what you are putting in your machines! Case in point,At a supplier in my area, there are 9 different types of these switches that all look identical to the 3 switches running off the cam in my Rockola 429. All have individual ratings and current requirem...

just curious are the microswitches , such as used in 1 2 or 3 micro switch, are they still redily available as new, or are they hard to come by these days, Im starting to think I have a micro switch fault. Though i still have to test adr and trip relay, although, they look like they are in great sha...

Just a followup, Gripper arm went nuts on me last night, continued past point of placing record on turntable, and kept traveling below turntable to eventually stop on or about level of turntable motor. Then jammed and blew fuse. Lucily, i had rmoved all records from magazine. !! :D :0 dont know if t...

Hi Try cleaning the contacts on the interlock relay and the adr relay, the adjustment for the read out arm are in the manual, let me know i can email or post a scanned copy clones 1. What method do you suggest cleaning the contacts? I have read several methods. Being from a pinball repair backgroun...

Thanks Ron,
Just kiddin with ya

I have the 429 and I have the same problem. Are you also having problems with the coils on the read out carriage? Could you elaborate on adjusting the carriage? Do you align your reset arm/lever centred over the pin? I have adjusted mine quite a few times, but i am starting to think, the contact on ...

Sorry, i cant find... (mystery parts post) but the way the meter/counter hooks up is, there is a small plate about a inch long, quarter inch wide, with a hole at each end with each end rounded, not shown in your picture, (Probably lost). One end of this little piece (not Shown) is twisted 90 degrees...

Hi Ron,This is all controlled by cams and switches. My machine dates from 1965 No electronics in this thing LOL Yeah, so, The hammer is centred over the pin, when the solenoid activates the hammer, which is very rarely, it resets the pin without any difficulty. No jamming etc. this could be a bad re...

Ok i took the read out carriage off the mech , cleaned the contacts,on the wiper blades, the contacts themselves, Cleaned the circuits on the selector disc, then deoxit 5 Put everything back together, Tested, Still same problem, took mech back out of machine Replaced the read out carriage with a spa...

Sorry, I guess I wasn't clear, what I meant was do the two blades need to be together or should they be separated?
a couple of the upper blades have been bent over the years and I just want to be shure they are position properly.

Hope i'm clear
Russ

I have a question regarding the wiper contacts there are 5 double bladed contacts are the two blades on each wiper supposed to be in contact with each other i.e top an d bottom of the wiper blade. This concerns the read out carriage wiper blades Asking cause I have the read out carriage off the sele...

Hey guys, i'm back again with the same problem. Read out solenoids not firing. Im starting to think, that the adjustment was a fluke. Could the wobble plate switch have anything to do with read out solenoid not firing and resetting select pins? Or how do I start from zero and adjust this read out ca...
