Description
THIS JUKEBOX SPENT THE EARLY YEARS OF ITS LIFE IN A NIGHTCLUB IN NEWCASTLE - UPON - TYNE A LADY WHO HAD WORKED AT THE CLUB AND SOME YEARS LATER HAD RETIRED ASKED IF SHE COULD HAVE THE JUKEBOX AND IT WAS GIVEN TO HER AS A FAREWELL GIFT.
SHE LOOKED AFTER THIS JUKEBOX FOR MANY YEARS WHERE IT TOOK PRIDE OF PLACE IN HER LIVING ROOM AS TIME PASSED THE LADY MOVED INTO A BUNGALOW AND HAD NO SPACE FOR THE JUKEBOX SHE RELUCTANTLY ADVERTISED IT AND THAT IS HOW I CAME TO OWN IT.
I HAVE NOW HAD THIS FOR MANY YEARS AND IT IS TIME TO PART COMPANY, THIS JUKEBOX PLAYS AND SOUNDS FIRST CLASS IT HAS NEVER BEEN MESSED WITH OR ALTERED IN ANYWAY THE SERIAL NUMBERS ARE ALL STILL THERE ON THE ROCK-OLA TAG ON THE REAR IT HAS JUST BEEN TAKEN OUT OF DRY STORAGE AND WILL NEED A CLEAN .
I HAD IT PLAYING THE OTHER NIGHT AND IT SELECTS INTERMITTENTLY AS THE FIVE FINGER CONTACT SWITCHES ON BOTH SIDES OF THE SELECTOR PLATE NEED CLEANING AS THEY ARE BRASS AND COPPER AND TARNISHED THOSE IN THE KNOW WILL KNOW WHAT I AM REFERING TOO THIS WILL BE ENOUGH TO BRING BACK TO PERFECT PLAYING ORDER BUT SHOULD REALLY BE GIVEN A FULL CLEAN-UP THROUGHOUT
I HAVE BEEN GOING TO DO THIS FOR YEARS BUT NEVER SEEM TO FIND THE TIME .
THIS IS A VERY GOOD UNDAMAGED EXAMPLE OF THIS VERY EARLY 70'S JUKEBOX THE COIN MECHANISM IS STILL FULLY INTACT AND WORKING OR CREDITS CAN BE PUT ON MANUALLY THE CHOICE IS YOURS.
