Tried washing the board. No luck.

Thanks, Alan, for the tip. Maybe the UK will come through for me. Drjeck

Rockola circuit board

I am in need of a rockola pcb #55115-A. It goes in a rockola 490. It is the control center for the unit. Thanks, drjeck

Re: Rockola 492 head scratcher

Thanks Ron. Board is fried. I called victory glass and they don't have anymore. Bummer. Now I know why I got it so cheap. Do I have any options? Can the pc boards be rebuilt/repaired? Do you know of anyone who sells them used (already tried bay and craigslist)? Can they be fabricated? Thx, dr Jeck

Re: Rockola 492 head scratcher

Thanks, Ron. The battery had indeed leaked on to the board. Is this an automatic pc board destroyer, or should I replace the battery and try it out? Drjeck

Rockola 492 head scratcher

I just bought a rockola 490 that Is in beautiful shape. Someone obviously spent a lot of time refurbishing it. The guy who sold it to me said it was working great a year ago, but he tried to play it recently and it won't work. I got it cheap as a result. When it is turned on it lights up, and the &q...

Totally impressed

Shameless plug for Pinball Paul's (Paul Howlett). I've been fooling with my Rockola 445 for 8 months and had a couple of issues that I could not fix. Two other service folks worked on it, but with less than satisfactory results. I finally took it to Paul out of desperation and he was AWESOME! Never ...

Re: Rockola 445 frustration

It's the gripper motor. The nylon gear inside the motor is stripped causing the motor to seize up.

Re: Rockola 445 frustration

Ron. Replaced the fuse, and unjammed the motor. As soon as I flip to operate, it jams again. It seems like the motor doesn't know when to stop. In other words, it seems like if the motor were moving in the other direction (ie taking a record out rather than putting one back in), it would be okay. Dave

Re: Rockola 445 frustration

Little knob sounds better. I'm talking about the little knob on the bottom of the gripper motor that you can turn in order to manually move the gripper arm up and down.

Rockola 445 frustration

My 445 was working beautifully, but every so often it would pick up a record incorrectly. So, I followed the instructions in the manual and adjusted the position of the gripper arm. This didn't help. Then I went off script and figured that the arm wasn't fully gripping the record because it wasn't g...

Re: Ohm challenged

Thanks, Rob. I've got a rockola 445. There is a "low impedence" switch on the amp. Can I buy 8 ohm speakers and simply adjust this switch? Dave

Ohm challenged

I am replacing the 16 ohm tweeters in my rockola. I can go down to best buy and pick up 8 ohm speakers, no problem. I would have to order 16 ohm, 6 x 9 tweeters. Is there a significant difference in sound quality/volume between 8 and 16 ohm? Thanks, drjeck
