I have a Rockola 444. I changed a fluorescent tube and it it lit up for a second and burned out. I should have done it with the machine turned off, but I didn’t. Since then, when I push the selection buttons, they stay depressed and nothing happens. I’ve checked the fuses and replaced the 2 ballasts. What else should I do to get it working again? The record wheel turns fine when I use the manual scan. Sent from my iPhone
Where are you located?

If the tube burned out (Flashed brightly on the end - now open circuit on one or both pairs of pins) then your ballast is shorted for that tube. You must replace it...
