I have a new issue with this juke
it a rockola 496-2
was working fine shut it down wnt to use it later on and now record magazine doesnt turn when making a selection or when using service switch
i bought a manual but doesnt have anything but mechanical adjutment info and cant seem to find a complete one anyplace

i checked all fuses and all are good
i had checked voltage to magazine motor and im only getting about .49 volts
not sure what it is supposed to be

a little more info after closer investigation i have found out that these motors ( for the record magazine and gripper assembly are 26 v dc)
neither motor is receiving full voltage
i have been told there should be a circuit breaker for this but havent been able to find one

still looking for schematics for this juke if anyone has a set

Thanks

i hope ron rich reads this

Well, I read it--have little to no experience with that model--but do know that the CB is marked "Mech" on other units, also know that the "service switch" on those is prone to not making good contact-----Ron Rich

A closer look at that service switch would make sense I was messing with that quite a bit the night before switching out records , cycling the magazine

thanks Ron
