been all over the place with this machine. so close, but yet so far in getting it to work. everything is working some what at this point except there is a problem with the readout now. i can push any button on the selector and it will play that song. a and b sides both. the problem is the pin on the assembly wont reset itself on the read out side thus causing what ever record i select to repea

Hey guys....still trying to figure out why my rockola 437 write in arm wont stop from spinning. I recently recleaned contacts on the stop relay trying to figure it out by process of elimination and now the write in arm keeps spinning even with the service switch turned to off. even when i unplug the jukebox and plug it back in the write in arm will start spinning again even in the off position.

Low and behold got the thing to play a record for the first time, by flipping a pin and went through the process. It sounded terrible, so I replaced needle and it sounded a lot better, but not great. I found that the upper right speaker was not working and switched it to the left to see if it had output on that side and it did. So both speakers work, but must be a problem with the right side wiri

HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!!KUDOS AND MANY THANKS TO PIET Oams AND JURGEN02 FOR FIGURING MY PROBLEM OUT FOR ME. Come to find out it was the selector assembly mounted to the frame in the wrong holes. Now I indeed took this assembly off twice to clean contacts , pins, and bands, but was always careful to put it right back how it came off. Now this machine has never worked since i took possession of it so t

hope these pictures come thru. the record arm is sitting about three off from the baskets home position and the carriage if you can see the outer wiper is sitting in the home position. im wondering now if there is a gear or cog of some type that is in the center of the record basket that might have moved on the stationary shaft that runs thru it?

was just wondering. before i take the record basket completely off to look inside. is there any kind of gear inside the middle of it that might have slipped that might be causing that basket not to line up? im thinking if i cant figure out this problem im going to have to take the whole player system out of the box to work on it closer. something i wasnt wanting to do.

i loosened all 4 bolts on both sides of basket , took end basket clip off drive shaft, and tried to reposition basket to match read out on arm on assembly carriage wiper's home or neutral postion but of course couldnt because of the flat edge of the shaft. i wasnt able to turn the shaft any to get any slack. i even took the two long bolt screws out of the basket's tooth gear trying to

again thx u for your kindness in trying to help me. i did as u said by scanning and stopping the basket in the home position. i lined the record read out wheel dial to neutral (the wheel that displays how many times records are played) and scanned again stopping the basket in the neutral position over the record gripper arm and it stayed pretty much in line with the record indicator wheel. the

hey jurgen02....i checked the homing wiper on the outer band and it lines up with the break in the outer band showing that wiper arm is indeed registering and stopping in the neutral or home position on the outer ring break
, but the record basket is still not. Again the the record arm continues to move past the home neutral position of the record basket by about 5 records. I again took the

Thank you Sir for that info. Ill check that assembly again closer. Maybe that homing wiper got bent is not touching the wiper track properly?

Greetings from Texas. I have been trying to restore my dad's old rockola 437 ultra. I have read a lot and watched a lot of utube because working on these things are really above my grade level, but enjoy the tinkering. I have come to a problem now after getting the thing half way running where the record basket wont go back into the home , or neutral position. It misses the point by a
