Rockola 494 juke help?

I've got a Rock 494 that picks up all selections except the very last
row .....not very familiar with
this newer system like the last 45s player. ....if anyone can educate
me as about this system. What would cause the last 10 - 12 records not
pick up? I have yet to take the system control unit 54910 apart as
I'm looking to get a manual if someone has one available let me
know..........Thanks

I take it the machine appears to accept the selection, but simply
ignores the record(s) when it gets to that area.

First suspect would be a broken wire from the keyboard or at the
selection system for that bank of records. Check the schematic to find
the common elements linking the group of non-selected records and the
keyboard/select logic.

You need to do some head scratching here...but start by finding the
first and last number in the group that doesn't work. I suspect there is
a simple link to that group - bent pin in a connector, broken wire at
connector, etc.

Thanks John,
I'm waiting for a manual w/ schematics and will do
some head scratching soon.

Check your system 2 control and make sure pin #7 is on. This pin controls the 160 or 200 select option
