Quoted from scampcamp:

Does anyone here have a Rockola 1422, 1426 or 1428 jukebox?

It just so happens I have a 1428. I came here to see if anyone knows a good place to get replacement caps and resistors for the amplifier. The jukebox works fine but the sound could definitely be improved. I see a few sellers on e-bay have kits for the amp. I haven't bought caps and resistors since I was a kid at radio shack so I wouldn't know where to get them and even size them correctly vs the old ones. I would like to keep it looking original in the back so I assume I can just leave the old caps in and hide the new components underneath. Also does anyone know of good replacement led bulbs for the 7.5 amps ones in the front.

Quoted from scampcamp:

You may save a few $ buying individually but I just ordered a kit from Bill at Jukebox Friday Night. I think it was somewhere around $55. Make sure you mention which Rockola you have. The 1428 uses the P amp.
His email is [email protected]

Thanks for the info.

Quoted from merccat:

I usually buy from Jameco or Mouser. With caps you want the same capacity. Voltage can be anything the same as or higher than original. When looking at the original caps you may have to do some conversion of scale between micro, mega, etc. to find what you need. Basically same rules apply as when replacing caps of anything else.
Sometimes a reputable seller on ebay is worth saving some of that time/effort. You may still need to get an odd cap or two (and/or have one or two left over) as often kits are assembled to support a series of amplifiers.

Ok so I haven't been here this long Jameco, Mouser??

Any good videos on how to spray metal to look like wood? Or better yet any shops around Maryland or northern Virginia that know how to do it?
I want to have the door to my Rock-Ola 1428 redone. I have the door off and striped of all plastics, wiring, chrome etc. It is supposed to look like the wood the cabinet light Burch I think.

Hello,
I am in need of pictures of a ROCKOLA 1428 Jukebox inside the door.
I decided to repaint my door due to some scratches and took mine apart.
I lost my pictures pre-disassembly. Too many nuts, bolts, plastic holders, etc. It would take forever to do without some pictures.
I would like to put it back together at least close to what it was inside.
Thanks
