Here is a video of the completed prop:
YouTube - 1955 Rock-Ola Model 1452 Jukebox from Rocky Horror Picture Show‏
This is my 1955 Rock-Ola model 1452 Jukebox, replicated to look like the one seen in ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW.
This is a screen shot showing the same model in the scene with Columbia singing her solo in "Time Warp".
I noticed that this unit was missing it's top cover and the front grill.
I decided to leave mine in place for now but I could always remove them if I wanted it to be more screen accurate.
I took a little artistic liberty with the lighting and put in red and blue gels to add some flavor, this things looks spectacular in the dark!!!
I had to polish and repair a lot of things and I totally refurbished the play mechanism. I removed the tone arm and polished it at my shop.
There is a lot of chrome on this thing!!
I also rebuilt the original amps and replaced all the tubes.
I can't wait to dress my wife up as Columbia and prop her up on top of it!
Thanks for checking it out!!!
