Help: Rock ola 454 will not select A side.
Today as I was making a few selections on my jukebox, I found that
only side B (200's) was working. When it gets to the end where it is to swap over to the A (100's) side, I hear a pop and it doesn't change over to play the other side. When all the B sides (200's) are played off, it just runs and runs because it will not change over. This is a new problem for me, and I want to know how to go about in getting it fixed. I am able to work on this machine if I knew what to look for. Sometimes the pop it louder than others as if something is binding. |

Hi David, Sounds like you need to look at the odd-even alternating dog and the tracks that it rides in. See page 43 in the service manual and page 20 of the parts manual - items 14 & 46. Ray |

I encounered another problem within minutes after posting this message yesterday too... I purposely selected a record on the "A" side to see if I could locate what might be going on while it scanned for the record. After a few rounds when it got back to its rest position, it mechanism stopped and tripped the circuit braker. I reset the breaker and it does nothing but trip it again a few seconds later. Do you think this may be due to the binding sound that I was hearing and has cause it from rotating, thus blowing the fuse? |

I need to know what needs to be done to fix this. I had to force the mechanism past the bind and now it work ever so often selecting both sides, but then goes back to binding again. To make this even more complicated, the last record it picked up, the arm purposely dropped the record before the plate... the arm never went all the way down. I got it to the park position while the record is playing and then when it went to put the record back it stopped mid cycle and I had to help it finish again. I don't get why all the sudden problems one after another keep coming up. It ran almost perfect up untill yesterday. Is it time for a good cleaning? |

Also after it is out you can see the track on the drive gear. If you remove the back access panel you can get to the bolt that holds the linkage in. Usually the drive gear is pretty gloppy with grease & accumulated dirt, which needs to be cleaned out . (I hope you like lying down with your head in a jukebox - this is the only way I know to look the gear tracks over.) See what you find and post back on it. Ray |
