Rockola 483

by Zmusiclady » Sat Aug 22, 2015 4:42 am

Howdy!
I am totally new to jukeboxes so I apologize in advance! I just got my hands on a Rockola483. the magazine rotates but It does not stop anywhere but I n the home position. I tested the logic board and and it cycles through numbers on the window not mentioned in the manual. The manual states that a good unit will cycle through 100-194-197-200-294-297. So according to the manual, I think the logic board is the problem, and now I'm stuck, I don't know what to do from here. I've also tried selecting records and itit recognizes money and the selection, but then just cycles through the magazine and doesn't stop until it gets to the home position.
If anyone can point me in the right direction to learn more to get this beauty running I would greatly Appreciate it!
Thank you!

Hi
Maybe check the optic board at the left side of the record basket, the red led should flash on and off as the basket revolves and keeps count of the record spaces. In addition check the 9.6 volts on the power supply, the procedure of which is outlined in the manual and can cause strange things to happen. Otherwise check connections to logic board. I myself have had my fill of these rockolas. Most problems on these are caused by a faulty logic board or profit setter board both of which are difficult to get and expensive. Some of the ic's on both boards can be replaced. Check the things above and see how you get on
