[Jukebox-list] RE: NEWBIE QUESTIONS: Rock-ola 450 & 454

[Mechanical Music of S.F.]

Hi Stewart.

Manuals.  Buy the manuals.  check eBay.
Nice score on the 450 if it's in good shape.

450:
-Unit is complete with all parts.
-When flicking the Scan/Off/Operate switch the selector, carousel and 
turntable
will spin around.
-When selecting a track via the buttons, nothing occurs.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Not enough info.  Do you have credit established?  Do the buttons lock?
We need a play by play.
Check all fuses, press all of the circuit breakers.
Test continuity of the fuses with a meter, power off if you're testing any 
of them still installed.  Visual inspection can be deceiving.  Replace with 
correct fuses only!  VERY important.


454:
-Unit is complete with all parts.
-When flicking the Scan/Off/Operate switch only the turntable will spin 
around.
-When selecting a track via the buttons, the selector spins for a while, 
then
seems to time out and nothing happens beyond this point.

Have you checked all the fuses and pressed all the circuit breaker buttons?  
  This is the place to start.  Test continuity of the fuses with a meter, 
power off if you're testing them still installed.  Visual inspection can be 
deceiving.  Replace with correct fuses only!  VERY important.
Start here, report back.

These Rock-Ola's aren't too complicated, so once you find the bugs, they 
should be good to go.
They will need a lube job, too.
