Long story short, met a guy and he needed space, and was willing to let one of his two jukeboxes go. Very nice guy, and I was more than happy to take it off his hands.

After I loaded it up, one of the wheel blocks fell off. I gorilla glued it and put 3 new screws, and then 3 additional 3" screws to snug it up. Then I placed additional screws in the other blocks. Since I already had it tipped in my vehicle on its back, it only made sense to take care of this now.

Very heavy jukebox.


What I know:

1. Parts are expensive.
2. I am going to need a parts and service manual (victory glass)
3. The machine has issues, will not select record to play
4. Was told the transformer motor and drive motor works as the reset switch on back? Placed the platter back in the stack.
5. Previous owner heard noise from the speaker at one point, like white noise from a needle?



My plan of attack will be to check the cord and solder points, open it up and take some video and pics of the unit, vacuum it out, and inspect for anything hanging or broken. Check for fuses, or ground blocks and check for broken solder joints.

I will then power on, hooked up to a extension box with a resetable breaker inline.

If it gets to that point and seems well, I will check the power transformer, and amp, see what there is to see.

I will then try to coin up and make sure it registers, then move on to the selection issue that I was informed it had.

I have been informed the unit powers on, and lights work, but it will not select a record and play it.
