Rockola 471 Princess - Almost threre...

Hi Guys, thanks again for helping me get my 471 going again. I'm not even 60% sure of how it all works so I'm looking for a bit more advice on a song selection problem and I'm hoping I haven't broke it... I've been so pleased with the old girl that I've gone and bought a load of 45s to fill the cart...

Re: Rockola 471 Princess - My first Jukebox (with missing parts?)

I'd like to thank you all for helping bring this old girl back to life. Today, with a new idler wheel spring, a re-wired cartridge and a bit of tone arm adjustment, she burst into life and was pumping out sounds of the 60's once again!!! The sound quality was a bit ropey at first, but this was down ...

Re: Rockola 471 Princess - My first Jukebox (with missing parts?)

Thanks Ron. I've ordered this: - https://www.jukebox-revival.eu/staging/veertje-voor-aandrijfwiel-rockola.html I've not got the part number but this spring is fairly inexpensive so I'll give a whirl and get on with wiring the stylus back up. I've not actually checked that the sound system is working...

Re: Rockola 471 Princess - My first Jukebox (with missing parts?)

Thanks guys. I'm going to source an original spring and an idler wheel re-surfacer and crack on with fixing the other issues in the mean time.

I'm confident now that the old girl will sing again and she's a keeper!

Re: Rockola 471 Princess - My first Jukebox (with missing parts?)

Thanks Ron I've updated my location. I live in the town of Newport, Wales UK. Famous for being the home town of Desmond Llewelyn, the actor who played 'Q' in the old James Bond films!! Yes your right. I showed the picture to Mike and he didn't think it was a capacitor either and reminded me that he ...

Re: Rockola 471 Princess - My first Jukebox (with missing parts?)

Hi guys, Just an update on my progress! I'm getting to know the machine a bit better now. I've managed to remove the motor, strip it down and I've had it checked out and tested (multimeter) by an (ex) electrical engineer friend Mike at the office and he has given it a clean bill of health; "rea...

Re: Rockola 471 Princess - My first Jukebox (with missing parts?)

Hey guys thanks for the replies. You've given me loads to figure out! It'll probably be the weekend now (if I'm lucky) before I get chance to look at it again so I'll let you know how I get on.

Rockola 471 Princess - My first Jukebox (with missing parts?)

Hi forum, this is my first post and my first exposure to these magnificent pieces of retro engineering. I was given this slightly tired looking Jukebox recently (gratis) and I'm trying to get it back to working order again before making a decision as to flog it for spare/repair or restore it. http:/...
