Rock-Ola Cabinet pickup (now a Restore) - Jump Bug!

Whoever converted this cab hacked the crap out of it.

Thankfully I picked up a Rock-Ola coin door with the wiring and credit board some time ago.
 
Great game. You know, sometimes I really miss mine. Restored it in 2014 sold in 2018. I actually owned it less time than it's been since I sold it.

Can't believe it's been 10 years since I had the side art re-created.

NEW AND IMPORTANT - Jump Bug Side Art

A while back, Tornadoboy, with the help of Gary, scanned Funspot's Jump Bug side art for me. It took me a while to get to the scans, but when I did, I noticed there were a few pieces missing. I also noticed that I was given no measurements or dimensions to help with the proportions. Due to...

Great get! Although others have speculated that it may or may not be an Eyes, I tend to lean towards the serial tag being the most reliable source. At least the serial should tell you what the cabinet was meant to be when it left the factory. I say that because my Eyes was a factory conversion of a Jump Bug cabinet.

Omg. It was not an eyes. 🤦🏻‍♂️

The guy who thought it was an eyes didnt read the post just looked at the pics.

Model 203 is Jump Bug.
 
I think the name Rock-Ola is so freaking cool. I also think their games are freaking cool. I also just looked it up, and saw that the actual name of the founder of the company was David Cullen Rockola in 1927 to sell stuff and he made 400,00 jukeboxes in the 1930s. Can't believe his real last name was Rockola even before rock music came out.

Its speculated that because the juke boxes were called Rock-Ola that its what created the name Rock music. "Hey put a nickle in and turn on the Rock Music"
 
Should have never parted with mine. Good luck bringing it back.
 
I'm looking forward to playing it after the restore.


I recently rewatched John's Jump Bug restore series, I can't believe the first video in that series was 9 years ago. The one where he tested fuses on the metal case of the power supply. lol.
 
The jump bug i got last year is probably one i need to let go of. Got the PCB going and the monitor rebuilt but haven't really touched the cabinet other than getting the dirt off. Anyone near Nashville that wants it MMAO i guess?
