Rock-ola 459

[djfudd]

Hi. 

I recently acquired a Rock-ola 459 jukebox from a friend. They said it was working then just stopped. I have been looking at it and have determined something is seized. I tried to manually turn the gripper motor to move it but it only moves so far and gets stuck and looks like it is putting pressure on the cog for the arm assembly. This in turn causes the breaker to trip. Would this be the motor itself or the arm assembly that is the culprit. Very new to all this so any advice would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Matt

Hi Matt,
If you look in the Rock-Ola forum there is already a pinned thread (sticky) on stuck grippers.
