The Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation was, along with Wurlitzer, a top maker of jukeboxes. The company, which originally mae scales and pinball machines, was founded in 1927 by Coin-Op pioneer David Cullen Rockola. Starting in 1935, Rock-Ola sold more than 400,000 jukeboxes under the Rock-Ola brand name, which predated the rock and roll era by two decades, and is thought to have inspired the term. In 1977, The Antique Apparatus Company engineered, refined, and manufactured the first and finest “Nostalgic” Jukeboxes, merging with Rock-Ola in 1992. In 2008, they manufacture jukeboxes with play CDs and others which download music powered by the Ecast broadband network, a massive album-based music library. Some of the latest units feature a SyberSonic 4 channel Pre-amp and a Peavey 900 Wrms power amplifier which can be upgraded up to to 600 Watts RMS for the largest locations.
