Rock-ola
Manufacturing
Corporation manufactured
jukeboxes in the U.S.A. under the name of the Rock-ola
Contrary
to myth the name Rock-ola has nothing to do with Rock-N-Roll
a genre
with which the jukebox is closely associated. Indeed
Rockola was
the last name of the company's founder David Rockola.
David
Rockola got his start in the penny gumball business before
getting into
jukeboxes and other coin operated machines. David
retired from
active service but was known to visit the facotry floor from
time to
time. He passed away in the 1990's. In 1992 Antique
Apparatus
bought the company and relocated the factory to California
from its
home in Chicago. Today Rock-ola makes both classic
reproductions
like the bubbler and gazelle which are based on 1940's
Wurlitzer
desisgns in addittion to making both CD jukeboxes and
internet download
jukeboxes. For more information on their current
product line

Rock-Ola
Jukeboxes
45 RPM Era
1953 - 1962
Although the 1432, 1434, & 1436 were made available from the factory with a 45 RPM level, starting with the 1453 Comet the
78 RPM option was no longer available. This is why I consider 1953 to be the start of the 45 era for the Rock-ola jukebox.

Jukeboxes
CD Era
1987 - Present
Rockola made several 45 jukeboxes prior to 1990 that mixed a CD's with 45 RPM records.
However, starting in the late 1980's Rock-ola left 45's behind and jumped into the CD era. Rock-ola merged with Antique Apparatus in the 1990's and became the largest maker of reproduction golden age jukeboxes. The history of the commercial side of the business is murky for the early 1990's. If you can help fill in model numbers and supply photos please contact me.
Today many Rock-ola jukeboxes are internet download machines although they still release CD models. Reproduction models are listed on the next chart.
Rock-Ola Jukeboxes
Reproductions Of Classics
1987 - Present
Antique Apparatus began as a company that bought, sold and restored classic jukeboxes. Slowly they got into making a reproduction 1015 model using parts from Rowe jukeboxes. Eventaully they bought out Rock-ola and began using their internal mechanism in their bubbler cabinets and started the process of upgrading both the changers and the electronics. Today the Syber-Sonic systems used in Rock-ola jukeboxes are very solid and reliable. In fact Rock-ola is again becoming a favorite of jukebox operators worldwide.

Rock-Ola
Jukeboxes
45 RPM Era Peaks
1963 - 1990
During
this era
Rock-ola produced a range of console
like jukeboxes. One distinction of Rock-ola
jukeboxes is that they kept
the turntable visible to the parton longer than any
other
manufacturer. This means even a 60's model
Rock-ola offers a home
gameroom buyer the joy of watching the mechanism
grab and play the
records without having to pay the costs associated
with more sought
after golden age jukeboxes.

Rock-Ola Jukeboxes
Reproductions Of Classics
1987 - Present
Antique Apparatus began as a company that bought, sold and restored classic jukeboxes. Slowly they got into making a reproduction 1015 model using parts from Rowe jukeboxes. Eventaully they bought out Rock-ola and began using their internal mechanism in their bubbler cabinets and started the process of upgrading both the changers and the electronics. Today the Syber-Sonic systems used in Rock-ola jukeboxes are very solid and reliable. In fact Rock-ola is again becoming a favorite of jukebox operators worldwide.
