Hi Sorry about not making myself very clear this is my first attempt at a jukebox and it's all a bit new, I know I'm not far away from getting it right. So, Jukebox powers up fine, credits go on fine, basket does not turn in scan position only the turntable rotates. As soon as I put it to operate th...

Have now plugged in basket motor and got it to make a selection but the turntable turns as soon as you put to operate position.

Basket does not turn in scan position only the turntable comes on.....

Thanks

Rich

Hi Ron

With both unplugged it no longer blows the fuse but the turntable rotates in the operate position is this normal?

I take it that the correct position for the gripper is over the basket with micro switch one in bottom of the cam grove.

Thanks again

Rich

Hi Ron Found some time to have another go at this problem, have been a bit busy the last few weeks. Situation now is that as soon as the scan switch is put to the operate position it momentarily turns on the turntable (don't think this should happen) then blows the mechanism fuse then nothing..........

Hi Ron

Forgot to say the record basket won't rotate with the service switch in the scan position and I know this used to work......!

Hi Ron When I say new I mean used (I think) I've ordered from a German company called stammen. There are a couple of people who break rockolas in the uk but it's very hit and miss as to weather the part you require is available when you want it. Ok so the pin is hammered fully into the "select ...

Hi Ron Sorry about that my typing mistake still getting used to the terminology yes I did mean the read out carriage :) Yes the hammer is moving the pin and yes the service switch is in the operate position. I do think there is a problem with the service switch though as a selection can be made with...

Hi guys and gals. I have developed a slight problem with my Rockola 418 Rhapsody II. I've just replaced the mechanism after a bit of a refurb, upon making a selection all seems to work normally up to the point of the write in solenoid making the selection and striking the pin..... At this point the ...

Hi Ron Not sure if this will work but I've attached a picture showing the two broken contacts snapped off right at the base. Hahaha sandpaper on the contact rings think that could be classed as owner error.... I'm sure I will find one soon, have located several of the newer 160 selection arms the on...

Thanks Clones and Ron Having done some research have decided to try and locate a second hand arm assembly. Don't know where to get them reproduced so think this is my best option. Have made a few enquiries from a couple of people in the UK hopefully they will come up with something. Is this quite a ...

Hi all I'm just in the early stages of my first foray into the world of jukebox restoration, I've purchased and read all the manuals cover to cover and have started the tear down. The first real issue I have is that two of the wiper contacts on one side of the write in carriage arm have broken off a...
