My 1973 Rock Ola 452 Console Jukebox







Turntable and arm with cartridge and needle. ^


This is the selector mechanism. ^


Back of selector mechanism, ^

Underside of glass showcase (where the selector buttons are and the title strips).^

A record just placed on turntable. ^ I hope to figure out how to get a video made of the whole thing working.

    Oh that is just too frickin's sweet. Living the dream man. How great is it to see 45s. I would love to hear the story of how it came into our life.

    It was a dark and stormy night....

    Nah. A place called 18th St. Vintage and Metro Records here in Cedar Falls, IA had it in teh back room. It's ugly and rare (cause nobody wants one like this - they want the chrome and disco lookign ones). I work there for "stuff". They pay me in trade for cleaning electronics and minor repair of said electronics. I tiold them I wanted it. They gave it. Someday I'll figure out how to post a video of it running.
