That doesn't look like a table to me...
"For a successful technology, reality must take precedence over public relations, for Nature cannot be fooled." - Richard Feynman
Did a small quality upgrade. (Bigger picture with less of the jukebox cropped out.)
Gentleman Troper!
I still don't recognize it as a jukebox or any particular kind of device, though. I think part of the problem is that jukeboxes come in all kinds of shapes, so there's no clear iconic, recognizable form of a jukebox; and of course you are unlikely to come across one these days. So it strikes me as hard to illustrate this trope with a jukebox, and suggest some other kind of device (such as the car in the first post).
Rhetorical, eh? ... Eight!
Hi
The current's not bad, but the image that comes to mind is Han Solo banging the bulkhead in the Millennium Falcon's cockpit in The Empire Strikes Back.
No, the other one.
Current is better than the suggestions in OP. I can clearly see that he's hitting some kind of device, which is as specific as you need to see.
Check out my fanfiction!
Zzzzzzzzzz
I dislike the suggestions for these reasons: The first one implies that the guy doing it doesn't expect it to work ("I've done all I could.") The second one doesn't show anything being hit, as far as I can see, just one character swinging a hammer and another one saying "the engines are back online. There's nothing to indicate that the two things are connected.

...if you don’t love you’re dead, and if you do, they’ll kill you for it.
Percussive Maintenance is about repairing machinery or devices by hitting them. According to the image caption, the guy shown is hitting a device, but in the picture, no device is visible and he appears to be merely pounding his fist on the table. Surely we can do better than that? Such as this one
, or that one
◊, but I'm open to other suggestions.
