Hello,
Can you tell me how a "Reverbaration" unit connects to a 1493. I have been searching for one without success but have no idea if it improves sound or how it connects or indeed how it works. The unit was an extra accessory according to Rockola sales brochure.
Many thanks.

Update ...
I have now moved by hand the gripper motor on the knurled shaft and returned the record to the carousel. Switched back on records plays but does not cancel using the button at the rear and arm does not lift at the end of the record. I guess this mean the fuse has gone on the gripper motor. Problem is I dont where the fuse is or its size.
Thanks.

Hi,
I have looked at the gripper motor shaft and cannot turn this - should I be able too? If the contacts are OK could it be a fuse has blown. If so which fuse is the gripper motor fuse?
Thanks,
Neil

Hi all,
Can you help? I'm desparate to get this fixed. Today the when the arm got to the end of the record it just sat there and the tonearm would not lift. I have cleaned the blade contacts at the rear below the arm mechanism but the arm still will not raise. The contacts look quite bad and have cleaned then some more but the arm still does no raise. The contacts look as though they make

Hi All,
I have a Rockola 1493. Does anyone know what the total power rating is (continuous rating). It's in the UK and has been converted to run on 240v.
Thanks.

Hi all,
A quick query. Is the cartridge and stylus one unit when you replace it. Or are they seperate? If separate then would you normally replace both? What is the recommended replacements?
Many thanks.

Hi.
Thanks for your help. I have managed to change the coin mechanism operation.
I have got it to reject half dollars, adjusted to 3 plays for a 1/4 and 1 play for 1 nickel. I am happy with that.
I cannot get it to accept dimes though. They just go straight through the coin mech.
Thanks.

Hi,
It only happens occasionally and with 1 or 2 same records. I think the hole is either wrong size or misaligned.
Thanks.

Sorry Jukebox Willi - I dont understand. Are you saying a mismatch in manufacturers is OK? 3 are by GE and one is by Raytheon. Are 6CZ5 tubes OK on this amp?
Thanks,

Hi again,
A small problem but an annoying one.
Sometimes the tonearm does not go far enough on to the start of the record and misses the groove causing it to stick. Is there a way to move the tone arm over a bit. I assume you just undo the bolt at the rear of the arm and move it over a little.
Many thanks.

Hi,
Sometimes with dinked records the record seems to not be placed on the deck centrally causing obvious playback problems. It does do this all the time but wondered if anyone has had this problem.
Thanks.

Hi
My 1493 has a label saying 1 play a Dime, 3 plays a 1/4 and half dollar for 7 plays.
However my juke will only take 1/4's for 2 plays.
How do you change this. Its not a big problem but would like to know if its possible to change it?
Thanks.

Hi all,
What I found is that the four tubes are all 6CZ5. Three are by GE and one is by Raytheon. This mismatch could be causing an imbalance on the stereo I guess.
What do you think?

Hi
does anyone know where I can get new valves (6793's) from in the UK?

Hi
Thanks for your reply. Excuse my ignorance but whereabouts does the pickup plug into the amp? I cannot see anything labelled that suggests this.
Many thanks,

Hi,
I just tried swapping over the valves as suggested. I swapped the 2 left most ones over and got an improvement on the right channel - a bit louder. Does this mean that one of the valves is faulty?
Could it be anything else too?
I am based in Doncaster England.
Many thanks.

Thanks Nick.
To try the valves which ones would I swap over. Presumably there will be some that are identical and can swap these.
Also which are the electrolytic capacitors. Not that familiar with this amp.
Thanks,
Neil

Hi all,
I am having some problems with my 1493 operating in stereo mode with speakers connected. The sound is loud on the left side with very little coming out the righ speaker. I have turned the balance adjuster on the amp and the sound can be controlled well for the left (good side) but has little effect for the right side. In mid position nearly all volume is on the left.
Does anyone hav

Many Thanks Charly49,
At the moment I just want to try some speakers to make sure the amp works OK in stereo. The speakers I have are 6 ohm not 8 as previously advised, so I guess they are OK just to try.
I hope to build my own stereo speakers after christmas using Jensen 8" (16 or 8 ohm) speakers with peizo horn tweeter.
Thanks,

I am wishing to try out the stereo side of the amp in my princess jukebox.
I have some old hi-fi speakers that i could try (8 Ohm each) but need to check about connections. The amp has terminals left +/- and right +/- (which is obvious) but also the amp is labelled 16 ohms. If I used speakers of lower ohmic value would they or the amp be damaged? When connected are the speakers in series or p
