Description

Launched in 1959, the Rock-Ola 1475 Tempo I 200 is one of two versions launched by the iconic jukebox manufacturer in that year. This model offers an impressive 200 selections from 100 records whereas its stablemate, the 1468, only holds a modest 60 disks with 120 selections. It plays 45rpm singles and has a wonderful, rich quality to the sound.

The design of the Tempo 1 draws heavily on cars from the 1950's, with striking chrome fins extending outwards and a dramatic chrome 'V' dominating the front speaker panel, strongly evoking the classic Cadillac logo from the period.

As with most jukeboxes of the period one can enjoy the theatre of watching the discs being selected from the carousel before being lightly placed on the turntable by a mechanical arm. 

These jukeboxes are further distInguished by a complete title strip assembly which displays all the selections at once, organised by musical styles. Pushing one of the top category buttons lights up an arrow pointing to a vertical section of title strips for the corresponding category.

All of our vintage products are sourced to order and restored in our workshops in Surrey by our talented in-house team. 

We offer a grade A1 restoration as standard. We do not use a 'restoration checklist' as every component is checked and refurbished as part of our uncompromising refurbishment process.

We are thorough and comprehensive throughout and are striving to deliver a machine that is near to how it came out of the factory. All of our restoration work is guaranteed by our one-year on-site parts and labour warranty. 

 

Music and Title Cards Pricing

Music itself is an important part of our business, as reflected by our treasured CD library, so we are able to help you source and create the perfect digital playlists. If you’re a bit stuck for choice, we are only too happy to help.

The charge for vintage records is £15 + VAT per record, this covers most records however some are highly collectable for which we have to pay a premium and are charge at a higher price. The title card service is £150 + VAT.

It is quite an involved process to supply records as we buy them in from dealers or collectors, they will only guarantee the "A" side, so often many records do not pass with us because we always supply records with playable "B" sides as well as the "A".

The centres are then cut (big hole centres) which also leads to some breakage as some of the records split due to their age. Finally they are hand washed and then played both "A" and "B" side on a gramophone for sound quality, only then are they fit to go on the Jukebox. The final check is again playing "A" and "B" side as you would hear it on your Jukebox.

It's all about delivering good quality sound for our clients and if you are investing in a vinyl jukebox the standard of the records have to demonstrate the high standard of our restorations.
