[Jukebox-list] Rockola Tempo2 Speed

[James McClave]

Uhh ok guys , I dont think we need to dwell on this problem much further
, it seems his problem is fixed.  Oh- I conducted a little experiment
tonight on my Rockola 1448  45 rpm jukebox.  My speed was and is correct
with all original equipment installed.  I removed the turntable and cut
some friction tape and wrapped about 3 turns around the idler wheel
surface which engages with the turntable. I then re-installed the
turntable and mounting screw and played the same song I had played prior
to installing the tape , and you wont believe my results!  The record
speed increased by at least 5 rpm or so.  The tape I put on there would
also be the same as increasing the idler wheel diameter. So , after this
experiment I conclude that idler wheel size matters!    Have a good one!
