Rockola 488 tone arm & harness

Good afternoon, everyone.

I have a Rockola 488 that I would like to get working again. The
jukebox would pick up a record, play it, but not return it before the
next record was picked up to play. The machine would play several
before it failed to work any longer. I "worked on it", SO, now it
doesn't work at all. I am not very mechanically inclined so I am
thinking you can get a complete tone arm and harness so that I can
unplug the old one, plug in the new one, and start enjoying my machine
again.

Anyone have any better suggestions? Where would one locate this
replacement part(s)?

Thanks, in advance, for any help!

Hello Sandy,

While I'm no expert, I was able to get my Rockola 488, I just picked
up at an auction, to work after being totally dead.

What were you doing when when you 'worked on it'? In your
description, is sounds like it just needed to be cleaned and
relubed before working on it.

A bit more info please.

Regards,
Tom
