Default Opinions on Rock-ola Bubbler

Different strokes

I like the extra animation on the rockola...I also like the fact that
you have a title strip for each CD...

You are correct that the Wurlitzer looks closer to the original sesign
though...

FWIW I own one of each...


Don't forget to lube your machines! I have created a section on
flippers to cover this for the OMT (and other Wurlitzers):
http://www.flippers.com/wurlitzr.html (lubrication).

We also stock parts (or can drop ship) and can service the computer at
our shop...

I gotta vote for the Wurlitzer over the Rock-Ola.
Both of them sound great.
The Rock Ola has a few metal trim parts that are plastic on the
Wurlitzer, but in a home setting it's NEVER going to matter.
Bottom line to me is that the Wurlitzer LOOKS better because of the
original style buttons and hidden CD title pages.
The Rock Ola has CD title pages and buttons that stick out in front and
look out of place on a 40's era juke. Plus the Rock Ola has more
animation that is a little overboard to me.
I shopped hard and went with the Wurlitzer about 5 years ago and I'm
VERY happy with it.

I've had one for about 4 years and hasn't given me a bit of trouble. My 2
other Rowe/AMI CD100s sound much better to me though.

They do sound much better
