El hombre que reparaba rockolas Perry Rosen es el protagonista de esta pieza de Great Big Story. Su trabajo es una labor doblemente obsoleta: por un lado, reparar máquinas viejas -algo poco habitual en el mercado de consumo y usar-y-tirar de hoy en día- y por otro su especialización en rockolas (jukeboxes) de viejo cuño. Su labor transcurre entre el polvo que estas viejas máquinas han acumulado, las válvulas de vacío con las que funcionan la mayoría de ellas y los viejos discos de 78 rpm que hay que mantener bien conservados. Es todo un hacker de la vieja electrónica. Cuenta el buen hombre que comenzó a interesarse por esta máquinas al mismo tiempo que por los pinballs. Con el tiempo y la llegadas de los reproductores personales y portátiles las rockolas pasaron a ser cada vez menos habituales en bares, restaurantes y locales de ocio. Todavía hoy pueden encontrarse algunas como decoración vintage pero sin que funcionen realmente - o con una electrónica interior modificada adaptada a los nuevos tiempos.

Hi, I have a problem with a Wurlitzer 2400S: once the selection is made, the basket spins but after it stops it doesn't load the disc and a noise is heard. If I press reset it loads the disc manually. Can you help me figure out where the problem might be? I can also send you a video of the defect if you want - Thank you and I await your kind reply.
Hello Sir----sure hope you might know the answer. My Wurlitzer 1080 platter spins, goes up to touch the platter, then drops right back down without playing.
@@strictly45s6 Actually I found the issue. When the turntable rises, a cog trips a set of contacts. I cleaned those contacts and now the turntable rises and plays as it should.
I had an opportunity to bring a much loved old Wurlitzer back to life last week at a church camp. It made dozens so happy! What a great feeling. But It is only gonna be a temporary fix. I don’t see any sites here that address my specific part and problem. Can you help me?
Can anyone help me with a juke box repair? We have a We have a Rock Ola and one of the large fluorescent vertical bulbs that runs up one side won't stop flickering. We replaced bulb and starter, but that did not solve issue.
Mr. chair I know this is kind of random, but cam you explain this whole Vinyl crave? I hear people argue about Digital vs. Vinyl sometimes but I don't get it.
The vinyl crave is kind of a hipster thing in that people love the feel of something vintage. You know of a by gone era and millennials are fascinated by that. There is a video online that explains it well but I can't remember it, just search with the terms "vinyl" and "millennial" on youtube. They don't know of the digital vs. vinyl argument so I can't explain it to you. Hope this helps.
