Rockola 1475 Tempo - Record not selecting
I have a Rockola 1959 Tempo. When I have a series of songs selected, it scrolls through a few, the carousel finds the next record in line, and then nothing happens. The turntable still spins but no record is selected. This just started the other week. I turned off the jukebox and then the next time I turned it on, it selected the record and worked fine again, but this problem has happened again a couple times. First few times it worked by itself, but this time, I can't get it to select the record. If I turn the jukebox on, the turntable keeps spinning, but no record selects. Any ideas?

Any ideas? -- smazik If I understand correctly, what you are saying is that, for example, you pick record number 24, 45 and 60. Records 24 plays and rejects, 45 is selected, plays and rejects. The the record carousel rotates to record position 60, stops, and then does not play the record. The turntable continues to spin. Is this correct? Mike |

Rockola 1475 Tempo - Record not selecting
If the condition you are describing is that the machine stops at a
record but the gripper bow does not move, the most likely causes a 1) Defective microswitch on the cam that is part of the gripper bow shaft. Take the mech cover off and run the machine till the problem shows up. Then tap or flex the actuator rollers on each of the micros to see if you get the gripper motor to start. 2) Pitted contacts on the gripper motor relay in the service switch box. 3) Burned out winding(s) on the gripper motor. What happens in this case is that occasionally the motor will come to a stop on a faulty section of the armature and be unable to start again. From your description I doubt this is the case here, but you can test for this by -slightly- turning the motor shaft (at rear) when it stalls. I sold the last R-O of this vintage (a 1465) in late 1995 so there may be some other cause that I have overlooked, but these are most common. Rob/NYC |

Rob,
Just wondering how the gripper bow can work with some selections and not others. Wouldn't the conditions 1-3, not allow the gripper to work at all? Mike |
