I've just picked up my first jukebox, a Rowe R-84, with the plan to give it a birthday and add it to my man-toy collection. After getting it home, I have given it a once over to see what it needs. I already knew the central control computer was missing so I have to track down one of those, but to my eye apart from the right hand speaker wires being cut, a broken wire on the volume pot, some missing bulbs and some general cruddiness, it appears to be largely intact and not really messed with... Whether or not the mechanisms all work is another thing completely, having never owned or worked on one of these before I will try to tackle any problems as I go. I'm sure there are plenty of people on this forum who have messed with a bunch of these over the years, so I'm just trying to get some tips and pointers on getting this thing running again.
Firstly, judging from these pictures, can anyone tell me if there is anything missing other than the central control computer?

Hello all, first time poster here!

Secondly, I want to give this thing a good clean up inside, any pointers on cleaning and lubricating parts inside the cabinet?
Also if someone has a central control computer they would like to sell, or can point me in the direction of someone who does, that would be amazing.
Any help anyone can offer would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers!
