[Jukebox-list] Rockola 1428 Questions

[WALTER ABBOTT]

Mike, I have a 1428. The background including top and sides on the inside of 
the record stack area is a embossed gold foil with a repeating small rainbow 
pattern. on the foil is a few brownish starburst patterns with just a very 
little glitter. There's also a multi-diamond shaped applique attached to the 
gold foil behind the turntable.
I don't think the exact foil pattern is available anywhere. However, Victory 
Glass does have some gold foils that are fairly close that you could use. 
The applique frequently comes up for sale on Ebay. If I get time this week 
I'll shoot you a pic of my 1428 insides.

Hi everyone,

I'm working on a Rockola 1428 and I have a few questions:

1.  I'd like to redo the glitter on the "bursts" on the backdrop behind the 
record stack and the turntable.  It's so black that I can't even tell what 
color or colors it is supposed to be.  Does anyone know - if so, could you 
please list the colors looking at the jukebox, going from left to right? 
Also, it looks like there are some small round circles that had glitter too? 
Does anyone have any ideas for the best way to take this backdrop off to 
redo it?

2.  I've seen some pictures of 1428's where the cap on the record tray stack 
is a shiny green color.  Mine is a matte black.  Is this some sort of a 
piece that attaches to the top, or is is just glossy green paint?  Does any 
one know how it was originally done?

3.  Right now it has a 51-2 and is playing original 78's.  I've heard some 
say a 51-1 is better for repro 78's, which I may get sometime.  Just 
wondering what folks on this board think is better for repro 78's - can I 
keep the 51-2 for them?

Thanks in advance for any advice, and I know I will have more questions as I 
slowly work on this jukebox.  This list looks like a great resource for 
help! - Mike
