Original 1957 Rock-Ola model 1455 Jukebox

Introducing the timeless beauty of the 1957 Rock-Ola 1455 jukebox, a marvel of vintage craftsmanship meticulously restored to its former glory. Each of our factory restored 1455's undergoes an extensive process of disassembly and reconstruction, ensuring that it not only retains its original charm but also performs flawlessly, just as it did over fifty years ago.

At the heart of the 1455 is its ability to hold 100 45rpm records, offering a generous selection of 200 songs for your listening pleasure. A true spectacle of the era, this jukebox delights in the theatricality of its operation, with a mechanical arm delicately placing each chosen record onto the turntable from its carousel selection system. Adding to its allure, the 1455 features a unique 5-sided rotating drum, effortlessly switching between different sets of selection cards at the push of a button, ensuring an immersive and dynamic user experience.

Pioneering Rock-Ola's foray into the realm of 200-selection jukeboxes, the 1455 posed formidable competition to contemporaneous models from Seeburg. Its compact yet efficient design, boasting a ferris wheel record basket configuration, set it apart by offering both portability and functionality. Despite its smaller stature, the 1455 delivers unparalleled sound quality, achieved through the harmonious combination of two 12-inch bass speakers and a small high-frequency horn, ensuring that every note resonates with clarity and richness.

Embrace nostalgia and elevate your listening experience with the iconic 1957 Rock-Ola 1455 jukebox, a timeless symbol of musical excellence and vintage elegance.

Allow us to explain how and why we go to such extreme lengths when repairing and restoring vintage jukeboxes.

Over the years we are fortunate enough to have gathered together a select few individuals whose enthusiasm for jukeboxes, ensures that they are never less than 100% committed to the task in hand. They quite simply love breathing new life into old machines and want to see as many of these classic pieces preserved for future generations as possible.

Not for them the perfunctory checklists and proverbial ‘tyre kicking’ which pass for an inspection at other dealers but instead an unflinching determination to get to grips with the detail. This usually begins with a thorough strip down of the machine and a forensic examination of the internal workings. They’ll be aware of the particular quirks of any given piece and instead of just replacing failed parts they’ll always go the extra mile, swapping out components which are likely to fail in the near future.

An obvious comparison would be between a classic car which remains on show in a garage and one that you can actually enjoy driving.

Rare though many of these machines are, rarer still are the examples which have been properly restored or can truthfully be said to be in full working order. It goes without saying that when unrestored machines come up for sale online or at auction, they’ll often be priced rather lower than the machines restored sold by Rock-Ola, and the point we wish to get across above all others is that there’s a reason for this.
