Re: Rockola 451 on strike

Well, I've done my usual winter in New Zealand (their summer) and am back looking at my non-working jukebox. Last week I had a friend check the voltages at the microswitches (reading zero) while I was moving the scan lever from "scan" to "operate". He was poking around the switch...

Re: Rockola 451 on strike

Rockola 451 on strike

Hi. I'm new to this forum so please be gentle. I live on Alderney in the British Channel Islands. Population 1600 (on a good day) and no-one with Jukebox knowledge, so I'm hoping someone on this forum can point me in the right direction. I've had a Rockola 451 for over 25 years. About 8 years ago it...
