I've been asked to repair a Rockola Juke Box of the 1970s. Owner has a
technical manual for that model but I would like to do some more general
backgroung research particularly on the mechanicals/electro-mechanicals
beforehand.
I've previously only repaired an amplifier from a Juke box but the upcoming
problem relates to the mechanicals, anyone have a URL of a technical
appreciation/exploration ?

I don't know, but it might be interesting to do a search on Rock-Ola to see
what comes up.

I recall on the news a few years ago, I heard Mr. Rockola died. Many people
thought the name was some sort of play on words using a combination of "Rock
'n Roll" and "Victrola", but there really was a fellow named Rockola who
founded the company.

What's wrong with it? I used to work on them a couple of life times ago.
The amplifiers are pretty straight forward. There is a rotating drum
with moving contacts on it that sometimes need to be cleaned. There
are motors running the record carousel and the gripper arm motor.
Always start with the power supply and work out from there.

We had a whole family of Fuchs in our town.

There was Amy Fuchs.....and she did.

There was also Emily Fuchs, but I never heard whether she did or not.

It`s Foooks over here. I remember some German sportswoman on tv being
continually called the wrong name by an interviewer. Eventually she
snapped at him "It`s ****s ..My name is ****S!"

Thomas T Crapper. I've got an original cast iron high level cistern so
labelled in the outside toilet of my 1884 house in London. They built
things to last in those days. ;-)
