The group disbanded in 1970 after Korn's departure. Until 1972 Juračka was a member of the Flamengo group .

At the Semafor he played in Ferdinand Havlík's orchestra . After the death of guitarist Jiří Lahoda , he was his successor in Eva Pilarová's group . In 1979 he became guitarist in Michal Prokop's group Framus , and from 1980 he was a member of Jan Kratochvíl's group Heval . After leaving in 1985, he succeeded Jan Martínek in the Žlutý pes group .
