Up for sale/sale is a beautiful, highly sought-after 1962 Rock-Ola Model 1493 "Princess" 100-selection jukebox. Celebrated by collectors for its compact size (perfect for a home game room, bar, or man cave) and striking "space-age" mid-century aesthetic, this Princess is a fantastic survivor with great local history and documented service work.
Key Features & Highlights:
Documented Servicing: This jukebox features a Rock-Ola Stereo Hi-Fi Tube Amplifier (Model 36320-A) that was professionally rebuilt in 2013 (receipt included!). The service included rebuilding the amplifier, reconfiguring the power supply, replacing defective tubes, and a successful 24-hour test (totaling $534.25). (See photo image_6.png)
