Rockola 456 jukebox 33 RPM playback 1979 Avon Fragrance record

This shows how the jukebox automatically changes speeds to play a 33 rpm 7" record. The record tells about how you can achieve your fantasies by selling Avon's new perfume. It has a real 70's soundtrack.

We had this record in our house when I was 9 years old in 1977. My mom bought a lot of AVON and this record came in the mail as a promo. When I hear it today it makes me think of Charlie's Angels.

I have a Rockola 459 and it came with one of these 33/45 platters as a spare. Somebody’s pulled out the speed change parts so I thought it was just for playing dinked 45s. Thanks for the video

I had a Rock Ola very similar to this one, they are very reliable smooth operating machines. I sold it many years ago, but I still have a Rock Ola mechanism stored in the workshop attic that I had for parts.

I Have The Same Jukebox I Got It From A Restaurant Was A Lot Of Work It Sure Took A Beating. But It Works Now. Nice Job You Did On Yours

@llcvt15 No, I noticed it missed the record the first time too. Maybe a contact still playing up? The carousel rotates once for the A-sides then again for the B-sides but did miss it on the first pass.

The un-dinked record mech can also be used to play ANY 7" at 45rpm whether it's dinked or not. I did that to mine to allow me to use new 7" singles as well as ex jukebox dinked ones.

I recently fixed my Rockola Princess and made vids explaining the repair process. Basically I used electronic cleaner and that really saved the day!

@xmaddict This is the memory unit...the memory write-in system is on the left hand side of the disc and the read-out is to the right. Selections are stored in memory by the solenoids on the left flipping a metal pin, and then the carousel stops and the record is played when the pin is detected by switches on the right.

[@bigclivedotcom]

@retrochad And now you can get an 8 pin microcontroller (PIC12F629) for less than a 555. How times have changed.

[@retrochad]

@bigclivedotcom Yes that is right...I think I may need to do a check of the microswitch/contacts that activate the B-sides. It often has to scan a good while before it will detect a B-side selection. All of the A-sides always play with only the normal amount of scanning.

I love the announcer's deep voice.

[@RockinGuy1994]

I remember them jukeboxs!

@weasel2htm 555 hehe! I made a very long duration timer about 6 years ago to operate an air conditioning system at a radio station using a 555. It would give around 5 minutes of "off" time every 20 minutes or so, to keep the unit from freezing up if the thermostat was turned all the way down.

[@StereoFidelity]

Why do I feel the need to call my Avon Rep? :) Classic. Seriously thanks, I always wondered how those machines detected a 33.

[@GregorysRecords]

Got it... now I see that those little levers on the turntable itself detects either 45 or 33!

[@vwestlife]

They should've had Ricardo Montalban do the voiceover!

[@PhattyMo]

Wow,70's on a stick!

[@johnegan4826]

[@TheTarrMan]

They don't advertise things like that anymore

[@Bangulo]

I know someone who has one of these. But the arm that catches the records has recently stopped operating. the arm is stuck up and when you push a selection you just hear like this fast clicking sound. like something is not catching. any suggestions?

[@robfriedrich2822]

When you have 33 rpm records with big center hole, you have to put an adaptor into the disc?

[@weasel2htm]

Congratulations on your 555th video, too bad it wasn't about a timer :P

[@spannerworks1]

[@GregorysRecords]

Odd record for a jukebox! LOL

[@bbishoppcm]
