The 'Rock-Ola Manufacturing Corporation' was, along with Wurlitzer, a top maker of jukeboxes. The company, which originally made scales and pinball machines, was founded by David Cullen Rockola. The company sold more than 400,000 jukeboxes under the ''Rock-Ola'' brand name, which predated the term rock and roll by two decades.
Rockola was also the maker of shuffleboard tables from 1948-50. Considered by collectors the Cadillac of shuffleboards due to their Art Deco styling with curving woodwork and lots of chrome, they are highly sought after by players.
Rock-Ola also produced and published arcade video game machines in the early 1980s, most notably ''Dragon's Lair''.
Rock-Ola was also one of the producers the M1 carbine for the US Military during WWII, making 3.7% of the 6,221,220 made.
