Rock-ola model 1454 of 1956

Hello Everyone,

I have this jukebox that we got from my Wife's Grand parents. Its the exact one seen here http://www.jukeboxlondon.co.uk/index...-1454-of-1956/

I cleaned it and had it working for a while but now the turntable motor will not spin. I can hear it trying to spin, almost like its vibrating and if I touch anything metal to it the magnetism is strong. It just won't spin, any ideas?

Did you remove the turntable so you can see if the motor is actually
spinning? If not then the problem could be the rubber tire on the idler
wheel is failing, or the spring has broken that pulls the idler wheel to
the inside of the turntable and motor spindle...

If the motor spindle is not turning check if you can spin it by hand, if
not, then check if the motor fan has fallen off and is jamming the motor
armature...
