I have a problem with my Rock-ola 444 juke (the carouselle just keeps spinning), and I'm wondering if anyone has a link to a PDF version of the manual? Or even any thoughts on the problem.. ooorrrrr a decent place to buy a manual for it. OR even better, someone who fixes this stuff and wants to make a few bucks.

You likely will not find a PDF of the manual. Jukebox manual copyright holders still pretty strongly go after people who host their material. I looked for a manual online for almost a year for my R-82, then I just broke down and bought a hard copy on line.
Jukebox information doesn't seem to be as freely exchanged as Vid and pinball info is.

Previously Owned: Vids- Far too many to list Pins- High Speedx2, The Shadow, Mystic.
That's what I had to do too.. Buy a hard copy for mine (Seeburg LS1). It's pretty much impossible to troubleshoot and repair without a manual.

Very little on-line info on jukes, as Grauwulf & MrMikeman indicated above.
Victory Glass (www.victoryglass.com) and a few other suppliers such as John Durfee (www.jukeboxparts.com) and even John Robertson (www.flippers.com) do have official manuals/schematics originals or licenced copies, but typically the manuals are fairly expensive.
Still, a worthwile investment for restoring or repairing any juke or when recapping/troubleshooting amps.
Take a look first at relays/contacts, microswitches and fuses, this is often the issue in these R-O jukes.
I will look at home later in my surplus Rock-Ola jukes manuals just in case I might have something similar available...

Cash or some trades available. Could also repair a machine of yours +/-$ if needed, in exchange for one machine on my want list, non-working/unshopped welcome!
Yes, I do have an original Rock-Ola Service Manual & Parts Catalog for the model 444 juke. Used, but complete.
Just PM me your complete mailing address, I will try to ship it to you this week-end. Price: FREE.
Incidentally, I agree with AMX and MrMikeman, Jeff Wager is an excellent, reliable and reasonnable source for manuals on eBay.
Cheers, - Sylvain.

Wow! Holy crap! Thanks guys, thanks very much for all your help! It's a shame they're still so strict on the copyright laws for this stuff.. I mean, people are just trying to keep this technology alive.
Sylvain.. you're an amazing guy, man. Thanks for your help (as always).
