rd out carriage - Rock-ola 400 series

The micro switches must be a very common part. I got mine from Amazon and they were identical to the originals on my 442.

Guys,
MicroSwitches are NOT a "common part" ! "MicroSwitch" is a brand-name product, that although may look the same on the outside, varies drastically, in some cases, from "model to model". This part may, or may not, be available from other manufactures of "common, small sized switches". One needs to be concerned that replacements are selected that match the original specs. Failure to consider this may/will result in pre-mature failure, and other problems being induced into your equipment. Ron Rich

Ron,
you are so right! People, be carefull on what you are putting in your machines!
Case in point,At a supplier in my area, there are 9 different types of these switches that all look identical to the 3 switches running off the cam in my Rockola 429.
All have individual ratings and current requirements.
just looking the same isnt good enough!


For the uninitiated, don't put just any switch or for that matter, fuse or electrical component, just because it looks exactly the same.
I assumed this is a given.

If its of any use the correct switches are available from jukebox part suppliers in the Uk including the jukeboxman and jukeboxparts.co.uk and also Stanmann's JBW jukebox website in Germany, but i presume there are loads of suppliers in North America

Clones, and all,
"Legit" suppliers are listed above !
If anyone knows of another--Please list it, there, so it can be found-- !!

Russ,
You must be a "young man"--
The "industry standard" for a "replacement fuse", is to wrap "tinfoil" around a blown one--thus creating a "no-blow" fuse---I have seen this ( and other things, such as "jumper wires") done, (too) many times !!
Ron Rich

Ya, im guilty of that tinfoil fuse Ron
LOl

Thanks for the compliment though!
Russ

Russ,
I hereby admonish you to never do that ( or over-fuse ) again--50 lashes with the wet noodle for you !!
