ROCK-OLA MODEL 1418 "COMMANDO" JUKEBOX

This lot is closed for bidding. Bidding ended on 5/23/2026

C. 1942. Rock-Ola Corp. Chicago. The model 1418 Commando jukebox with top speaker bowl plays 20 selections of 78 RPM records. In 1942 Rock-Ola was a prime contractor for production of the M1 carbine for the US Military during World War II. The "Premier", "President" and "Commando" jukebox models were launched on the same year, leading to very limited production numbers. They were also restricted by the lack of metal and plastic, and therefore almost all of the panels were made of glass. Due to the size and the fact that they did not look like ordinary jukeboxes with push buttons they were never considered a real success among operators, but nowadays the designs of these jukeboxes are considered to be among the most original and unconventional designs in jukebox history. CONDITION: Showing a complete cosmetic restoration with bright color, plastics and nickel plating. The box is currently not working from transportation and handling, and will require mechanical maintenance to operate. With keys. NOTE: This jukebox is an electro-mechanical device and sensitive to movement. We can not guarantee operation when delivered to the new owner.
