Description

Introducing the Rock-Ola Tempo 1 120 Model 1468, a vintage beauty we launched in 1959. The 1468 stands out for its impeccable design and functionality, with 120 selections from 60 records, this jukebox offers a nostalgic journey to the golden era of jukeboxes.

Crafted with precision and attention to detail, the Tempo 1 is the epitome of 1950's automobile styling. Its chrome fins and distinctive chrome 'V' on the front speaker panel pay homage to the classic Cadillac emblem, embodying the spirit of an era defined by elegance and style.

This jukebox is not only visually striking but importantly also sounds incredible. Playing 45rpm singles, it delivers a rich, authentic sound quality that will transport you back in time. Witness the magic as the mechanical arm delicately selects a record from the carousel and places them on the turntable, adding to the overall theatrical experience that only listening to vinyl on a jukebox with a fully visible mech can create.

One of the interesting features of the 1959 Rock-Ola Tempo 1 is its eye level title strip assembly, unique in that it is organized by musical styles, allowing users to navigate through genres with ease. Simply press one of the top category buttons to illuminate an arrow, guiding you to the corresponding section of title strips for your chosen category.

At Rock-Ola we take pride in our meticulous restoration process, ensuring that each jukebox, including this 1468, is brought back to superb condition both inside and out. With our expertise, this vintage masterpiece will not only look stunning but also perform flawlessly, promising endless hours of musical enjoyment.

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

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.

THE HISTORY OF ROCK-OLA

Since 1927. Rock-Ola has manufactured quality entertainment machines. Recognised all over the world, the Rock-Ola name is synonymous with jukeboxes and rock and roll. Since 1977, The Antique Apparatus Company has stood for uncompromising quality, taking great pride in having engineered, refined, and manufactured the first and finest “Nostalgic” Jukeboxes. In 1992 Antique Apparatus and Rock-Ola combined their strengths and merged to create the best Commercial & Nostalgic Jukeboxes on the market and they continue to do so today.

INSPIRED BY "ROCK & ROLL”

Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation was founded in 1927 by the Coin-Op pioneering legend David C. Rockola. In 1935, Rock-Ola vaulted into jukebox manufacturing. He inspired the term “Rock & Roll” and has left an indelible mark on an industry that literally echoes his name. Rock-Ola sold more than 400,000 jukeboxes under the Rock-Ola brand name, which predated the rock and roll era by two decades.
