Ok here it is on it way home (april 2016) to my garage where it will stay until I'm finished.
The seller cleans the wreck, with limited success, it didn't look better at all:-)

Gotta love the picture of the Seller dusting it off!
ReplyDelete(Do you not have the rear cover for this 1458?)
Hi Jim!
DeleteNo I miss the rear cover, as also the main dome glass and not suprisingly the sign on the grille.
Great pictures that show what you are doing! Great detail in your work.
ReplyDeleteI have a Rockola1455D, it came without the popularity meter but I have now sourced one from an eBay seller Jukinjo in Texas USA. I can see how the meter fastens to the chassis of the machine but how does the machine drive the counter?
Many thanks and keep up the blog.
Hi! Didnt saw you post until today...sorry! I guess you have solved the counter issue?
DeleteHi Gunnar
ReplyDelete1455 D popularity counter, my name is Phil, in Liverpool UK. Not sure why my details didn't show
Cheers

Hi Gunnar,
ReplyDeleteVery inspirational and fantastic work... I Have just taken delivery of my 1458 here in Australia.We too run on 50hz down here and was just wondering besides the turntable motor fix to bring the rpm down to 45.1 what else is required ? do you run on a step down transformer as well to lower to use voltages ?
Cheers Doug
Hi Doug!
ReplyDeleteYes I found a transformer 220V -> 120V.
But we I have 240V so the 120V winding pushed out 130V.
But as you will see later in this blog my motor did overheat so I added a large resistor to fix the issue.
Hi Gunnar,
ReplyDeleteThank you for the reply,We also run on 240v so in exactly the same situation as you where.i will definitely follow your instructions on adding the resistor to the motor to control the heat...
did you just mount the third party transformer inside the jukebox cabinet ?
Could I possibly correspond through email Gunnar ?
Cheers Doug

DeleteYou have to check the voltage to the motor before adding a resistor, if you can find a better suited transformer like 240/115V you might not need the resistor!
