Chris, So, your saying that you have now located the VC outside of the cabinet ?? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: If so, now check you manuals, and see if the speakers are connected properly !! Ron Rich Yes I found the VC, :lol: The lower right bass had it's wires crossed, so now that has been fixed and so...

That age RockOla, has a permanent VC affixed to the cabinet, which is accessible from the outside rear. Ron Rich I looked all over (inside) for the volume control and I'm thinking no way does this jukebox have big 12" speakers and it's playing so soft! So this thing has gone from a crappy need...

Cloudy Saturday makes for a good day to play with the jukebox based on everyone's advice: (1) got manual for jukebox (2) Oil tone arm (3) Make counter-arm modification (4) adjust weight of stylus to just over 2 grams (specifications of stylus) (5) adjust where needle set down as some records were sk...

And here I was proud of myself for finding an authentic needle So what is the best I can buy for a jukebox like mine? I want good sound!

Give it to me straight Rob

Is this the original Shure M44 series cartridge? Can I ask what model of stylus you got and where you got it? The Needle Doctor is actually local to me so I headed up there and talked to them. The needle they gave me was "A Product of SHURE BROS." It says in bold on the label: N655-ed The...

The counterweight mod is fairly easy to do and will result in a balanced arm, and you will be able to apply the correct weight as per the original specs (or lower if you can find the correct cart / stylus). Stylus pressure gauges can be had for as little as £18 on eBay - dont be fooled and spend la...

You are guys are good! The arm was way too low, crushing the needle....the weight was too heavy, crushing the needle...and the needle did get whacked. So I picked up my second needle in 3 days and it's an authentic Shure that's a perfect match and as my 8 year old son said as Hound Dog was playing b...

Son and I made some progress before I saw your reply. We were messing with both the height and weight and made some progress where it doesn't skip (as much) and the sound is now a 2 out of a scale of 10. I will definetly research the link you sent and invest in the counter weight. Still nervous the ...

Thank both of you gentlemen for your quick reply. My son has been anxious all day to get the jukebox running :). I think you are exactly correct about the height of the needle. When I first played a record I was surprised how the plastic shroud was essentially touching the record. And now after your...

I just ordered the manual for this jukebox, but my kids are dying to listen to music and I'm hoping this is very easy as I'm a complete novice. Purchased the 470 and when a song is selected, everything works perfectly but when the needle hits the record it just "skates" across and no sound...
