When I was at sea a few months ago the wife went down to South Carolina to visit my parents. While she was there she went with them to an auction and bought a Rock-ola 460 jukebox for me. Here (http://www.pinballrebel.com/archive/rockola/r460/r460.htm) is a similar machine. She ended up winning it for $75.
I finally managed to get the thing home this past week. Plugged it in and it almost works right :) The turntable/selection mechanism works great but I have to rebuild the amp in the machine. Cap kit for that - just like arcade game monitors. Also I have to do some searches for glass for the machine since it is in relatively poor shape in that department. Also 3 of the 4 speakers are blown. Lot of minor problems but hopefully by next week it will be working 100% and the pretty work can begin.
RichD on the board here has rounded up some new lightbulbs for it as well as some jukebox 45's. Also I found this link (http://www.pinballrebel.com/archive/other/title.htm) that lets you print the titles for the selector menu. Cool stuff.
If anyone has any tips on these machines post or drop me a line as I am a complete newbie to these things.
