Can you establish credit? Does the credit appear in the display? Has someone set it to freeplay before and it possibly lost its programming? More detailed information helps the Swami's diagnose from afar... ;-) Respectfully, David |

My first thought is that the progamming has been lost due to a faulty backup battery for the RAM. Give me a chance to find my 490 info and I will get back on this for you.

Open the dome lid and slide the scan switch to the center position. Press the advance button on the Control Computer until the LED under position 6 is lit. Then press the "3" button on the Control Computer. This should put the unit back into free play mode. Then slide the scan switch back to the "operate" position and give it a try.

Remote volume controls for these older units were generally a wired, motorized unit. A control box that hung on the wall with an ON-OFF-ON momentary toggle switch would switch the UP / DOWN circuits of the motorized control unit in the bottom of the jukebox. If memory serves me the p/n was 2317, but definitely search for "Rockola Motorized Remote Volume Control Kit".
I remember having another unit at one time that was an RF control unit, but it came in on a trade-in, so I can't tell you much about it. Glad you got your machine back on track! Respectfully, David |
