Rockola 437 vs. 440 Interchangability

[3BadBirds]

Hi!

Several months ago I picked up a Rockola 437 Ultra.  I'm new to the hobby and thought restoring it would be a good way to lean more about how they work.  Shortly I started tearing in to it, however, I noticed this juke was in much worse shape mechanically then I had originally thought.

I recently noticed a local ad from someone selling parts from a Rockola 440 including a complete working mechanism.  I know the electronic components between these two models are slightly different but was wondering if the other physical pieces were a direct swap - they looked very similar.  If they are that would save me a lot of time and aggravation.

Any help would be appreciated!

Cheers!

I've no way of telling as I've never seen inside either one of them. I would think the mechanics are pretty much the same  with 160 selections. They even both have the same configuration of selector buttons. These were only a year apart as for date of manufacture. But someone may yet tell you, they are completely different which would surprise me.

 I've a 443 and a 468. Seven years apart. There's big cosmetic differences and in the selection button mechanics.  One's 160 the other 100.
But the mechanics look identical other than the different sized wobble plates.

I picked up the 440 and will keep my fingers crossed.  I already have a manual for 437 Ultra so once I get one for the 440 I should be in good shape.  These machines are only a year apart and the cabinets are very similar in size and design - the biggest difference being that you could still see the record play on the 437. 

More to come....

Thanks for the help!

Any luck?
