Check Out This Beautiful 1970 Rock Ola Model 445 Jukebox!

ladies and gentlemen this is Joe's classic video games back with another cool arcade game jukebox video for you today now if you didn't see the series where we fixed this baby up look below we will have all of that linked we we got this in a while back did a lot of repairs on it work through it and I've now got it playing and looking good so we thought we'd film a little video showing off the finished product so this is a rockola 445 from 1970 I really like all of the rockolas they just uh I just like them that has a really unique look way you know most jukeboxes do by any company but I really like the rockolas they're just cool uh I like the way the mech works and one of the first ones I ever had was a rockola and I'm just a big fan of rock Olas but I also like the other ones too but uh uh this is certainly a cool one this is a lot of people refer to these as like princess models because they're a little smaller there was actually a rockola princess model that was a specific uh cabinet but a lot of people just generically call the smaller ones princess models so you can see that it's not quite as tall as some of them and it also only holds 100 selections so that's 50 45 records double-sided of course so uh it's kind of a princess look to it but it's a uh I you know what I didn't look up if this one had a name sometimes they named them but it's the 44 I guess you can look that up but it ended up pretty nice it has this uh laminate on the side that's like a I mean it's wood but it's it's thick here I'll show you what I'm talking about on the back it's worn a little bit so you can see that it's just U like MDF like a lot of them are but it has a thick laminate on it that looks really nice that wood grain and it also has a wood grain tea molding that goes all the way around like an edge banding that also looks very nice the top is metal and has the same faux wood grain finish looks cool to me man I love them like that here's the back with of course the rockola stenciling and the door there on one of the repair videos we took that door off and messed around in the back a little bit here's the front I'll turn the lights off here in a minute so you can see it better but it's got these three stylish little panels up here and then the light reflects down underneath them to where it has this blue carpet feature you know most Juke boxes have something similar to that there's the cash door you know what I don't know if I've looked in there to see if there's any money H I might have to check that out folks might have some quarters in it oh you know what this one the the coin Mech had been removed hadn't it so the thing's in nice pretty nice original condition um this up here would have been chromed it's plastic but it would have been like a chrome color and some of that's missing so it's starting to Yellow a little bit which is just the the color of the plastic showing back through it has a really uh it's 1971 so it has a really simple selection playing process where it just lights up uh with some light bulbs it doesn't have an LED screen or anything or an LED uh display uh and on the 100 selection models it just goes a through K on the 200 selection models it goes higher than that I think it goes up to I won't guess how far up it goes but it you know there's more buttons it has this little thing here with the uh with the design on it that's similar to the design on the things down here but the whole purpose of that was it's the side size of a record sleeve so if like a really hot single came out and you had the record sleeve you could take that little piece out and Slide the record sleeve in there to show it off like you know the new lead Zeppelin record or something and then it says singles for a quarter you get one and for half a dollar you get three right and it says select any single record the little light below it would say or any album now there's a little piece right here that little long rectangular sliver there that you're seeing that comes out on the bottom I don't know what that would be for though it must have been H I don't know what the purpose of that would be maybe you could change what it says there maybe you could put the name of the location there I've seen where they did that for a while and it says solid state stereophonic very cool I'll pop it open we can look inside of it for a minute so here's the inside if you've uh watched the videos of us repairing it you've seen all this a thousand times already CU we went through it for I think we did like an hour and a half worth of videos on it uh so the selection system is down there at the bottom which also uh is where the credit uh stuff is actually that's not the that's the credit unit not the selection system the selection system I guess would just comprise uh the keyboard assembly up at the top that's the Credit Unit up above it is the power distribution center might have a different name I may be fudging that and this over here on the left is the amplifier right mechanism down below we had to take that sucker apart got it nice and oil though and cleaned up you got the right in and readout assembly over there on the right got the record platter there in the middle and that's about it you got of course you got the couple speakers up here and then there's a couple I think they're twelves they're tens or twelves on the back side of this door so let me uh let me close it back up and I'll show you the light show so this is what it looks like with the lights off very good looking Juke Buck but you know a lot of them look really good with the lights on look at that just a cool design man if that doesn't look like 1970 I don't know what does so cool so let's see what's on it on the um on the uh flyer it said that no stooping it actually says that on the flyer no stooping they want you to know that you can read all of the uh title cards standing up you don't have to bend over and look down in the bottom usually they were down flat all right so we've got the Embers that's that one we were using to test it all with the chairman of the board I put just a couple beach music songs on there uh if you don't know about Beach Music people yeah you're missing out uh Billy Ocean Pat AR so I tried to put stuff from like the the 70s and the 80s mainly cuz it's a 1970 box the Eagles Ario Speedwagon that one's probably a little too new uh the Eagles the Eagles Ram Jam Black Betty Rick Springfield Deep Purple hush Leo s lover boy Ted [Laughter] nton woo Grand Funk Railroad hell yeah Queen Linda ronat Eric

stey Dan The Pointer Sisters Marv Johnson that's I think it's just that Happy Days song the theme song to Happy Days Marilyn MC and Billy Davis Jr that's a great song The Osman Brothers Heatwave cool in the gang the commodor Olivia Newton John Cindy loer Vicky Lawrence the ninth of light Out the Lights Went Out in Georgia Diana Ross Christopher Cross Alabama Alabama Ronnie Milsap The Outlaws Dolly Parton Johnny p check Journey if you got a jukebox it has to have journey in it right ZZ Top Robert Plant and the Human League All right so here's the deal if I play this jukebox YouTube has a habit of deleting videos that have songs in them so what I'm going to do is I would hate for them to delete this great video where I show off this jukebox and we walk around and we talk about it and all that just because they don't like the song that's playing in it right so what I'm going to do is I'm going to end this video and then start another video and upload them both at the same time so that you don't have to wait or anything for the next video but you'll have to click the next video so that you can hear this thing play and then that way if they delete the video they'll just delete that one of the song playing and they won't delete this awesome video of us showing off this awesome jukebox so I'm going to hit I'm going to end the video uh and then immediately start the next video and and record this thing playing so it'll be up just go to our click on our videos on our t on our on our list here on our channel here and it'll be the next video so uh leave your comments below what you think about this beautiful box give us a thumbs up for taking the trouble to film all of it for you because we've been working on this thing for what a week or something right and uh we'll see you immediately on the next video where we're playing this thing
