1958 Rockola45 - RPM Jukebox
Model "1465"
200 Selections
Once Seeburg came out with a 200 selection jukebox in 1955 all the other manufacturersfollowed suit with one of their own in 1957. This 1958 Rockola went one better than Seeburg with its light, compact cabinet taking up less of the valuable space in diners.
Employing the same tried and true mechanism Rockola had begun using back in 1952 this is one nice little juke. AMI actually used the same principle on its 1946 model "A". The 1465 also employs a rotating title strip drum like the Seeburg's.
The fact that we have way to many jukes is forcing us to sell some of the duplicates and ones that will require extra time to rebuild. Thus we’ll be selling this cutie in an "AS-IS" working state.
What's nice about this unit is that just about anybody can do the necessary work to bring it up to snuff and it could be a fun project for just about anyone.
It's been staying in the home of a British couple in Santa Monica for about 25 years. They were sad to see it go, but their new home was going to be smaller.
