This may be another "heyday" for jukeboxes as they seem to be very popular right now.
- Jukeboxes in general are popping up everywhere but hopefully you got a good buy at the estate sale.
- Rock-Ola is a popular model but all jukebox repairs are costly and there are very few repairmen that are mobile so usually the box has to be delivered to the shop. This may not be a problem for you but I would definitely say to get an estimate of cost (and how many dollars they can go over that estimate) as well as a statement saying if repairs are not completed (for whatever reason) the box will be returned in the same or better condition (not in parts but whole). I only mention this because I have read some really "horror" stories of what has happened at repair shops.
- There is a good link in yellowpages for repair shops but you can also Google Rockola jukebox repair with your zip code and you may have better luck as most shops repair only certain brands. If you decide to use this link, I would suggest you call and discuss your problem so as to eliminate any that are not interested in your problem.
- www.yellowpages.com/.../jukebox-repair
- You might want to contact this person as he seems to offer free appraisals and he may be able to recommend what steps you need to take with repairs. (He is not in Texas but for an appraisal?).

- Here is a link to a mobile repairman in Dallas but he may not work on your year machine - however - he may be able to send you to someone who does.

- Here is another site that may give you some idea as to the value of your box (most of these companies want to buy jukeboxes).

Here are some photos of similar boxes:

Awesome thank you both! Yea I saw some listed but I didnt know if there was anyone in my area who might recommend someone. I myself had a bad situation where I got a guy to come work on my slot machine. Showed up, took parts off my machine, and never returned. Completely disappeared.
I have a 1940 series d Rock-Ola. I got it at an estate sale. I'm having a hard time finding this model or others like it. The coin mechanism was pulled out of it. Other than that everything works fine. I am looking for an estimated value and recommendations for a repair shop in Dallas, Texas.
