HI Everyone.
As the Christmas Decorations have gone up the tools have had to be returned to the shed and the front room returned to normality!

Wishing you all a Very Merry Christmas and a Rockin' New Year !!!

Hi Guys, Hi Frank, Thanks for your reply.
I have removed the control box, inside was quite clean,
I have cleaned all the contacts and checked with multimeter also checked the wiring from the control box to the power distribution panel, all ok.
All reconnected and still the same.

Everything is now cleaned and back in place but unfortunately it is still not selecting a record, same scenario as before, selection is made pin moves to outside position, carriage searches but does not select.
Charly49 the a/b switch you refer to, is that the double micro switch on the scanning switch assembly? I have checked this with the multi meter and it seems to be working fine.
Any oth

HI Frank, Roland & Charly 49 I will be staying away from the steel wool!
I will just give them a wipe over to remove any obvious dirt.
Frank I love the picture of the pins in the polystyrene wish i'd thought of that! I have rebuilt the armature springs,
I used some very strong magnets and lots of patience,
I did the first three and my son did the last three, took him half the ti

Hi Guys, Looking at the selector coils they are quite dirty and black in colour, should they be cleaned? Looking in the manual they look silver!
Didn't want to start scrubbing them as I know they are magnetic and I was worried about damaging them apart from that everything else is clean and ready to be reassembled.
Frank the spring inside was exactly as you had described, Black!! so I went

Started cleaning the interior of the selector drum and though while it was off I would take a look at the Printed circular disc. As you can see in the picture the strips are very worn, does this need replacing? I have tested for continuity on each strip and even on the copper area it will show continuity.
Thanks again.

As you can see the outside of the drum is cleaning up nicely but not to sure where to start for getting to the inside and don't want to disturb all the wiring any ideas?
Thanks

Hi frank and Charly49, I have stripped the selector carriage again, this time desoldering a couple of wires to be able to remove the top plate and get access to the leaf springs these were heavily tainted and cleaned up really well, I also cleaned the pins, again! I removed the wiper bracket assembly and gave those a clean too. I've added some photos.
Still no joy!!
The 3 micro switches

Hi Frank,
I have tested as best I can the micro switches and all seem to be working,
I have given the printed disc a clean again, as well as I can without taking it off.
Still not stopping to select.
I tried the gripper arm again and it wouldn't budge so I have taken it apart cleaned, oiled and rebuilt and it now works manually nice and smooth!!
I also tried with the motor reconnected

HI Frank thanks for your quick reply.
I will dig out my multi meter at the weekend and check all the contact.
I did try moving the camshaft with the power off and the motor arm disconnected but it will only move a small amount in each direction, not enough to allow the micro contacts to be located on each lever.
Should I be able to rotate the cam and the gripper arm?
Obviously as I have not

Hi, I'm new to this site and indeed to the world of Jukeboxes having just purchased my first a Rockola Tempo 2 in original unrestored condition and when I say unrestored I mean it hasn't been played for around 40 years!!
I've given her a bit of a clean, do you refer to your jukes as her? or is that just me. anyway she's cleaning up quite well and I can now read the writing
