I cleaned the volume switch, seems to be working fine now. I also removed the volume control motor. I am assuming that this was intended to work with some type of remote. I do not think I will need it for what I am doing and it makes the volume switch easier to turn.

Well the jukebox has been working overall pretty well. We have been really enjoying it. In the mean time I have cleaned all of the records, and changed a few out. I do however have another challenge I would like to address. The volume knob on the back can not be adjusted, otherwise all of the speake...

OK I checked the fuses before my last post and they where good. I followed the above advise and cleaned a number of different contacts including those in the keyboard and removing and cleaning of the circuit board in the selection control box. I also insured all of the associated plugs where good an...

Well it seems as though I am on the right track. You gave me a few things to look into, I appreciate that a lot. I am going to take a break for toninght and re-visit it in the morning. Thanks again!

I am really trying. I did some more reading in the trouble shooting guides and manuals. I believe the problem is in the selection control box. There are two relays in there in-cased in clear plastic. When I type in a selection for the first half of the B side records there is no movement in the rela...

Did a good job of cleaning slip rings and fingers on the write in carriage. Got everything put back together. No change, still have the exact same problem. Any ideas on where to go from here?

I am working on the machine as I type this. If I read the diagram correctly there is a yellow and yellow / green wire that powers the hammer coil for the b side. I removed the wobble plate and took ohm readings. It appears as though I am reading the diagram correctly. I tested each side of the slip ...

I was not able to locate any Deoxit 5 locally. I bought the best contact cleaner I could find and worked it 3 times. I then sprayed it on a cloth and scrubbed the rings. There is no change. I am appreciative of your advise however I really think there is a power issue. The selector hammer will not s...

I will stop by radio shack and pick up the Deoxit 5 and give it a go I hope that will solve it. My feeling however is that the ring itself is not getting power. My repair manual does have wiring schematics but I am not terribly good at reading them. Best I can tell is that on the 160 selection box t...

Just tried cleaning again, no change. Getting ready to pull my hair out! We really miss our Juke Box! Anyways, I am open to any suggestions. Thanks for your input.

Yes, both selection arms fail to operate. It is more than just one spot; it literally affects every B side selection for the first 40 records. I noticed that the ring seems to be "broken up" into sections, I was wondering if one section of the ring was not working how would I go about chec...

The write in arm indexes as it should and stops at the correct finger / record. The hammer coil however does not operate or even attempt to operate once it gets there. My thought is that for some reason power is not getting to the coil to energize it. It only does it on the B side of the records on ...

Hello, guys I am new here. I am having some difficulty with my rock-ola 448 160 selection juke box. This is the back ground. I bought the machine about 14 years ago and have worked on it as needed with the help of some trouble shooting guides / repair manuals that I picked up on Ebay as well as tria...
