SOURCE: ROCKOLA 480 HUMMING NOISE IN
Wow. This is a tough question to answer because it may have no answer. Listen to Alabama's Jukebox in my mind. Is that the hum you hear? It's why it's a jukebox. I have a replica that plays MP3 CD's and it's an option you can select.
If you have a sound when the needle hits the record, I'm not sure there is a fix for that.

SOURCE: THE TONE ARM ON MY ROCKOLA 459 SLIDES OVER THE RECORD WITHOUT PLAYING.
Hi
It sounds as if the tone arm has become unbalanced. Make sure the turntable is on a firm flat horizontal surface and at the opposite end of the arm from the needle there will be a weight and a means of altering the position of weight on the tone arm. This weight keeps the needle on the record but only lightly when positioned correctly. If positioned too far from the pivot post the needle will as you have experience skip virtually straight across the record. You need to adjust the weight so that the needle just sits in the groove and plays without being too heavy. It is best to use a record you are not too worried about for this testing as the test record can sometimes get scratched.
Hope this is helpful, if so would you please register that with Fixya
Cheers
