Additional information

This jukebox was originally sold in 2 versions: the common one played 7-inch 45 rpm records, and the rarer version played 10-inch 78 rpm records which were gradually becoming obsolete at that time. Most of the 78 versions were later converted to play 45s, usually by putting in a new record-changer that held 45s, and throwing the 78 record changer in the garbage.
People might state that this jukebox never existed, but there are pictures in the Rock-ola 1436 service manual of both the 78 rpm and the 45 rpm versions, and the different part numbers for the 78 turntable vs. the 45 turntable, shows it pulling out a 78.

Above and right: the 78 rpm model, below some examples of the 45 rpm type, as you can see the cut out for the  drum is smaller than the 78 edition. 

That's the whole reason this box was made so big: It was one of the biggest jukes ever made at the time. Apparently, the huge size must have not gone over well, since they stopped making 78 rpm available, and were then able to shrink the box size to normal.

Left image shows that the 1436 was designed as an 78 rpm model. It's clearly over proportioned for a 45 mechanism.
