I have a Rockola 1422 (circa 1946), and selector slide assembly doesnt always drop down all the way (it will if I put light pressure from the top when it should be down).... so I need to clean and lube it. The service manual says Oil. I think 3-in-1 motor oil will work. When I have the assembly off,...

I have 2 questions for a Rockola 1422 {RightHand and LeftHand from front of cabinet] 1) The LH and RH animation motors work. On the bottom of the RH animation motor, there is a spring, which I believe to be 12052 Colored Cylinder Drive Spring. [There is no spring on the LH side] The spring does not ...

This is slightly off topic, but I didn't know where else to post it. I have a B&K 747. When I power up with no tubes in, the meter pins to the right.

Thanks Guys

Have a Happy Thanksgiving!

Ron, I tried putting the center of the plug to the + , tested, and then the - side of the battery, and grounding the opposite - Mech scanned and did not pickup. "17AY-B" test failed. "17AY-L" [a->b] selects {see 19 or 24 of TSU3) (19) Weak 12AX7 (replaced with 2 different tubes) ...

Ron & Rob, The service switch is as Rob described: SCAN OFF RUN(normal) [Manual Credit Switch] When I cleaned off all the contacts in the USPU1 (bottom, and all the others), and put the switch in RUN when I made the selection, the mech scans! Now to dig into the scan twice, and stops problem.
