Tech help Rockola cd-8 jukebox
Hi All...
I have a (probably minor) problem with my box....I went to use it this morning, and the thing picks the right cd... it places it on the platter just fine...but it doesn't spin... well it does once in a while, but not every time...if it doesn't, it will replace the cd where it belongs... if it does.. it plays the cd.... It's been sitting for quite some time and i thought to clean up the eye...still not much better....it plays less than it rejects the cd's....I was thinking a connection problem, but not sure what to check.. What do you experts think?? Thanks in advance for any help.. Fwed |

Fwed,
Depending on which player (CDM-3, CDM-4HD or IND, CDM-12 / PRO) is in the box, a variety of problems could exist. Which player do you have? The CDM-3 looks like a square plate and will have a laser "caution" label in yellow and black. The CDM-4 Series will have the model number screened onto the top plate. The CDM-12 / PRO series will have the model number embossed onto the top frame. Let us know. |

DRebber Ok...Its a cdm12....but I think I've fixed the problem as it seem sto be working jsut fine now... the box sat for a number of years without being played... I was transfering cd's out of the box... also hooking up the internal speakers again (unhooking the speakers from my stereo), and wanted to make sure I had done all the wiring correctly when I discovered this problem. What I did was take out the player unit, unscrew the circuit board, and cleaned up (not that it really needed it) underneath there, and manually operate the gear drive for the laser beam. I then put it back together and for ha ha'a hooked it back up and haven't had a problem since...soooo I think problem is solved ...for now... lol Thanks for offering to help out!! Fwed |

Fwed Sounds like the CDM12 transport needs to have some fresh Teflon grease... An old trick for fixing CDM3 players is to open the bottom of the turntable motor (small metal cap) and put in a couple of drops of oil - Duralube is recommended) and work it into the motor spindle. This often gets the little sucker running for another few years. Plus a drop on the radial arm pivot (top and bottom) helps free it up!
