Re: 1977 Rockola 468 Grand Salon

Re: Rock-ola 468 Selection issue

Hi Andy I just finished restoring one of these, my first Juke check out the "my pride and joy" section

If you carry on as if its working what happens? I mean, is it just the light not coming on?
When you hit the 3rd button does it stick down?

1977 Rockola 468 Grand Salon

Bought this for $35, It was ugly, damaged and played records very slowly. The selections (read-in arm) didnt work and most of the lights were out.

Re: 257 bulbs

yeah there a switch on the credit unit to select what each coin gets you, and diagrams to tell you which screws to remove to accept dimes and nickels.

less skipping

A general phono question but ill ask it here because it concerns my jukebox

Is there a way to make it less prone to skipping due to a scratched record?
Ive been told put some small coins on the arm to weight it down.

If not that, anything else?
