Rock-ola 454 Jukebox help

[Dovers]

Hi

I have a problem with my 454 Jukebox

After playing a 45 the gripper that chooses the record gets stuck in
the record holder.
I have to shake the record holder to release the gripper

Can anyone help as I dont have a manual


Thanks

Dovers

Dovers,
I'm not quite sure what your symptom is exactly. Is the gripper
actually striking the record dividers of the magazine? Is the gripper
resting against the lower stop and releasing the record? A little more
detailed info might help troubleshoot your problem.
Respectfully,
David

Hi David
Thanks for your response
After the record has been played, the gripper places the 45 back into
the
magazine and then does not return or play the next record
So basically gets stuck with the 45 it has just played in the magazine
If I shake the magazine a few times it releases and plays the next
record

Thanks

An assortment of possibilities exist:
1. The gripper assembly needs to be lubricated. Although the release
action is motor driven (the gripping action is spring tension), it may
be binding just at the point of release where the cam switch will change
the circuit from transfer to scan.

2. A faulty cam switch is either losing connection or not making
connection when necessary.

3. The gripper arm is binding against the magazine, thereby shaking it
will allow it to travel to full extension and release the record.

I hope this helps a little. I will see if I have any manuals that give
the sequence of operation that might help you solve your problem.

Respectfully,

David

Thanks again David
For some strange reason my Rockola is working fine again, but i'm sure
the problem will come back.
I will apply motor lubrication as I think that may have been the issue.

Any more info will be appreciated
