Description
This Rock-Ola 1468 Tempo 1 Jukebox comes with Free Delivery and Installation (worth €200), is in great condition and has been fully refurbished to a full working order. It is a fantastic choice for any fan of vintage jukeboxes.
Our Rock-Ola 1468 Tempo 1 is a jukebox made in 1959. It plays 7″ records at 45 RPM, so if you have a vinyl collection tucked away somewhere safe, it could be time to dust off those wonderful old records and get them loaded up into this beautiful jukebox.
The Rock-Ola 1468 Tempo 1 employs an ingenious system for track selection. You firstly select the type of music you prefer from the three buttons situated in the top panel. Some versions had a simple “A”, “B”, “C” set of buttons, others use dedicated lit panels, like ours, which has “Hit Tunes”, “Rhythm and Blues” and “Favourites”.
To then view the music selection available you rotate the title card drum and spot your tune of choice, then press the corresponding numerical buttons on the control panel situated in the middle of the jukebox.
Dimensions:
Please check that this jukebox will fit through your doorway and around any turns towards its ultimate destination. It fits through most normal doorways, but sometimes the doors will need to be removed to achieve this. Please ensure you are able to do this prior to us arriving to install your jukebox.
Original Condition:
Our Rock-Ola 1486 Tempo 1 is in great original condition. In fact it has been so well kept we have elected to leave her as she is. There is very minor pitting to the chrome, the sides of the cabinet are a little dented due to their soft metal construction, and one of the plastic panels to the side of the control panel has a crack in the left hand side.
She does show her age, but this is part of the machine’s history, being well over 50 years old now. It has been fully serviced and lubricated and will give years of pleasure.

This jukebox is fitted with castors, which make it far easier to move, but please be aware that they can damage wooden floors. We recommend placing rugs, mats or pieces of carpet under the castors to ensure no damage occurs.
Coin Mechanism:
We sell our restored, reconditioned and used products to home users, as a result a functioning coin mechanism is not necessary, because the machine can just be set to freeplay. Many of the coin mechanisms are configured to take foreign coins or denominations which are no longer in circulation, therefore it can be difficult to actually find a coin to use in it.
Therefore we sell all these types of products as freeplay only, with the coin mechanism either not working or disconnected. You may find that it does in fact work fine, or will do so with a little WD40 and kind attention, as many won’t have been used for years.
