[Jukebox-list] Rockola 1438 Selector Lever Cancel Solenoids

[Britt Abbott]

Ron is probably correct. The plunger on the cancel solenoid was sticking on my 1438. If your 1438, like mine had been sitting up unused for a number of years then those solenoid plungers get sticky. I used a Q-tip to push it in and out, but it would still occasionally stick. I moved the wires at the solder points on the solenoid and one just popped off (bad/poor conneciton). I re-soldered and no more more problem...

>Yes--they are on the moving "frog" that rides the outside of the pinbank. Plungers are probably just stuck. If the "back ends" are the "open type" just stick a nail into the rear to free them up. or remove and clean them---if not the problem, you'll need to dig out the schematic.
