Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Motor back in the juke and ......IT'S ALIIIIIIIIIIVE! Looks like everything is working as it should at this point.. I know my coin mech is still sticky but all things considered that's pretty minor! :lol: You guys are awesome, and I really appreciate the help, even when it's a club over the head say...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Got it! My GOD. Okay, so after some basic google-ing and looking at diagrams of some AC motors, I kinda figured out that the armature wasn't moving at all, and which part that was. =P I hooked it back up to the power, pretty much doused it in oil, and since I couldn't get my fingers in there to try ...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Yeah, I'll be honest, I have zero experience with AC motors. I have no clue where any part of what you're talking about. The ONLY thing I see that looks like it's moveable without taking anything apart is what looks like a metal V-shaped brace from inside the coil with the power cable attached to it...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Thanks for the specific warning. I have it pulled out now. I can't get the gear to turn by hand at ALL. So basically, this thing should turn freely from the gear attached to the gearbox driveshaft with a roll pin, yeah?

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Yeah, given how siezed up the gripper arm was, I won't be surprised to find that it's similar here either. Thanks for the tip on the mount locations, prob saved me a lot of grief with that. :)

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Got my white relays in. No dice. With the relay plugged in, can select 1st digit, can select 2nd digit, lock-in solenoid activates. If you pick 3rd digit as an incorrect number it lights the "please reset" indicator and the reset button will work. If you make a valid selection for the thir...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Well, between the penetrating oil sitting for a while, and the motor oil, the gripper arm is working perfectly now, as is the tone arm. I think I found out why the control pad doesn't work, there's a white 43561 relay missing off the credit unit. Whoops! Figured that was just another auxiliary plug ...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Shoot, hairdryer would've been a good idea. Well, my wife got the oil, so there's that. I did try using the motor 'nub' to turn everything prior to having it disconnected but it was too locked up. Oh, and it was tearing up my fingers. :lol:

The pain came from moving it. I'm still hurting.

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

I'll be taking that advice, Rich. I only had time to stop at one store yesterday and they didn't have the 3-in-1 motor oil (WTH, WALMART?!?! Come on! :lol:) so did some quick research on my phone and bought a quick stopgap. My wife's going out for the correct oil today so we can make sure it STAYS w...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

I only had about 30 minutes to work on it yesterday after I got home before I had to go to my second job. Got ahold of some penetrating oil, hit the four or five points I thought it might be binding up. Let it sit for a few minutes, and HUGE improvement. I had it to the point where when it starts th...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Tone arm doesn't clear the gripper arm when it's on that side of the turntable, so not sure how that would be resolved other than by using the height adjustment washer. As far as working things into the mechs..that ain't gonna happen. I'm just going to have to oil what I can get to and probably let ...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Complete? Nah. A little exaggeration on my part I guess. No, the read in and out seems to work fine. As far as I can tell at this point, the only reason the machine doesn't mechanically function (from the point that a song switch is manually flipped on the wobble plate...believe starting at sequence...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

Have made some progress already. I was able to at least get it into "playing" mode for a few minutes, so I can at least confirm the amplifier, turn table, and tone arm work, but it's really clear the whole thing needs to be disassembled and cleaned very badly. There is a LOT of slow moveme...

Re: Newbie here! Transporting a Rock Ola 470 safely.

I bought it..it is NOT working. Coin mech is too gunked up to get a quarter through it, I can take that apart and clean it. I hear clicks when I depress the credit switches so the relay is firing, same thing when the service credit switch is used. The juke won't allow you to make any selections, I d...
