BUDDY HOLLY "PEGGY SUE" 78 RPM RECORD PLAYED ON MY 1952 ROCKOLA SUPER ROCKET JUKEBOX

[harristeeter1]

Not at the moment but I have had LOLLIPOP and TEENAGE GOODNIGHT on there as I have many of their 78's.

is there any chordettes on that jukebox

[northlight1908]

Just wondering what kind of cartridge you're using in the tone arm. Is it a ceramic (Astatic?) or did you convert to a magnetic type?



[dave631bnetzero]

Wow! very nice. Would love to this machine play the other side of the record. I see the needle on the top of the tonearm. Very cool.

[calvertsch]

Fabulous looking and sounding! Thanks for such perfection!

My very first record, bought in '56, I was 11. I still have it. It's on display in my living room in a RCA Victor 78 rpm record holder, made of bakelight (early plastic).

NICE JUKE BOX! FIP TO THRE RECORD YOU ARE PLAYING IS ONE OF MY FAVORITS.

[harristeeter1]

Yes, you're right, the "A" sides play somewhat slow, but the "B" sides play faster, as this machine has a reversible motor. Don't know what else I can do except change the motor...all suggestions are welcomed!

[joelboel77]

@harristeeter1 check the voltage to the motor, voltage controls the speed of an electric motor assuming it has enough amps

[buuddyh57]

Sounds a little slow.

[eoj2495]

Love those old juke boxes..!!!!!

thanks for sharing yours!

[wurlitzergroup]

Wow - I am restoring a Super rocket - Yours looks very nice - and it's always nice to see these jukes still on coin play - is that animation I see in those pilasters? *jimmy in MD

[harristeeter1]

@wurlitzergroup Hi, yes, pilasters are animated as is the small light on top (very tough to do this) and backlighting. It has a great sound! Thanks for your comment, I've seen your videos before and they are very informative.

The 78 is harder to find as they were on they way out at the time; nice collectible there. I got a 45 in VG which still has a book value of $12.50 (I got in a mystery lot for just 16 cents a record; it also had Whole Lot Of Shakin', School Day, several Fats Dominos, three Platters, a Playboys, a couple of Flamingos, and Carl Perkins' Blue Suade Shoes.

Het there i have this juke box in my lounge!! had it bloody years!! very rare model!! plays 45rpm or 78rpm!! lovely looking machine and good sound!! mine is set up for 45rpm!! but i still have the original 78rpm cartridge and bits n bobs !! infack i got in storage a complette mech 4 spare for it!! Your badge on the front dome is wrong one as it s for the rock ola rocket and not the super rocket!! i have the right transer here spare one here bud!! contact me if youd be interested??

[greenwichlirr]

Solid sound on the amp system, but it sounds like the motor is playing a slight bit slow.

Either way, that a beautiful juke!

[harristeeter1]

@greenwichlirr Good ear! You're right, the "A" sides are slighly slower, and the "B" sides are slighly faster...don't know how to remedy this short of a new motor. Thanks for the comment.
