I"ve got a nice Seeburg 100R that I used to have fully working in a pinball bar that I ran. I moved it out a few weeks ago and now I'm having issues with it. All functions seem to work but when a song is selected the head moves to the location but seems to be misaligned so that the 45 does not pop into the head properly. The record hits on the side of the head and impedes it playing and therefore the machine is stuck. I forgot to bolt the head down when moving it. Any ideas here? I'm guessing that the head moved on the track in transport so now its missing it's designated location? Am I close?

I just took a chance on this Ristaucrat S45 project (loosely assembled for pic). It needs a back door and a transformer. Any leads would be appreciated.

New to my eyes! Now I've got to Google it and see it in operation.

A couple more pics. Cleaned up the dome. Needs a more thorough cleaning but at least looks presentable now.

Ristaucrats are pretty simple. You should have it up and running in no time.

I just picked up a Rockola 1428 jukebox from 1948. I ordered a new center plastic & can figure out to put that in but does anyone know of a website that shows how to take apart the mechanism & clean things up? The manual doesn't tell you much. Thanks

The best thing about that one is you don't have to spend hours trying to find 45's with a good B side!

Anyone have a Wurlitzer 2000 classic for sale?

Hey guys! This might be a longshot, but I've always wanted to get a remote volume/cancel control setup for my Rockola 464. I've never seen one setup and working on a Rockola... does anyone have one of these setup? I've researched it before and could never figure out exactly which wall control unit was needed and whether the additional receiver was needed inside the jukebox on the 464.

Seems like there are different variations of the wall control unit: some have an on/off switch and some have a different type of volume control (dial vs. momentary? toggle switch) and some places refer to "motorized" vs "manual" controls. Any idea how to determine which one is compatible with your jukebox and which receiver goes with it?

Got the machine back up and running. Just needed some cleaning and lube on the clutch from sitting for a few months. Looking to sell at this point. What does a Seeburg 100R in working condition go for? Sound is still good but could probably benefit from a rebuild. Have a bunch of 45s to go with it. What's it worth and does anybody want it?

FREE: Jukebox Manuals

I am really hoping for someone to come and get them, since I don't want to go thru the hassle of mailing them. Here's a list of some of the manuals - the list is on an old computer and it does not communicate with anything - its pre thumb drive and pre CD.

Regardless, here's a sample:
Seeburg JP Consoles models LPC480, LPC480R, LPC480D, etc.
Selectomatic phono model LS53 service manual
Seeburg LS1 installation and parts manual
Seeburg USC parts catalog
Rockola 453, 454 service and parts manual
Seeburg LPC1 & LPC1R troubleshooting guide
Seeburg Selectomatic 160, 161 service manual & parts

There's more, including dollar bill validator manuals and installation instructions. These came from a local operator estate sale, I bought all the paper. The box is about 27 pounds, and over 1 cubic foot.

They will be free, except for postage, and the following caveat: These will be for your use, and will not be listed for resale. In other words, I don't want these to be flipped, I want them to be used by someone who will appreciate and use the manuals to restore/repair old jukeboxes. Also, its an all or nothing offer.

I am going thru stuff to get rid of to free up space. If a pile of stuff matches an existing string, I will post it there. I am not looking to make any money off of it - I am wanting to dispose of stuff while I have control of it, which means I want it to go to someone who will use it. I don't want to see it thrown away - and that's what will happen after I'm gone.

PM me if interested.

Picked up a new project. Seeburg AY160.

Have you run across a tape cassette player?

0505171146 (resized).jpg

0505171146a (resized).jpg

I have a good friend that has one.

I'm pretty sure Scott Danesi has one too.

It seems like there was one on Craigslist a few years back. Are you looking for one?

Not looking. I took that picture at Allen Town in 2016. Thought it was the coolest thing at that show.

That looks a LOT like RoweAMI's PhonoVue, which was an addon-accessory for their Jukes that would play 'sexy' Super-8 videos in a self-contained display unit.

I've never heard of a cassette juke until this moment. I... have so many questions. They certainly don't seem like a good idea. I can only assume it played cassette singles, right? Might be kinda neat if it would play "whatever tape is in there" for however long; I've never seen an audiocassette changer before so for a dedicated enthusiast it might hold some appeal. But gah... maintenance on vinyl jukes was bad enough, I can't imagine tapes being preferable.

Panasonic made a home use changing mech in the early seventies. They didn’t sell a lot, but they’re out there you look.

The Wurlitzer C-110 came out about the same time.

I remember seeing a cassette juke on location in the mid-late '70's. Only ever saw one. It was in a diner.

My last restoration...

Wurlitzer model 41 countertop 1940-41, 78 rpm, 12 sel. 5 cents

You do amazing work and you should show before/after.

Rudy Wurlitzer and all of the employees that helped design, develop and build that jukebox in North Tonawanda, New York have to be proud of the restoration you completed.

That looks like it would scratch the hell out of the disks.

Wow! Anybody selling a nice Panasonic RS-296US - please let me know!

Selling a Seeburg 222 if anyone on here is interested. $3500

Great looking 222 and fair price. Has it been fully recapped?

Chantal Meteor 200 Jukebox - 1959-62 Restored

Beautifully rare, restored Chantal Meteor jukebox from 1959-1962

Space age design

In the 1950s and 60s, newer models offering a greater selection of discs were launched, featuring design elements drawn from US automotive design and reflecting the ‘Atomic Age’. It’s from this era that our jukebox belongs and, as this advertisement for the Chantal Meteor 200 shows, it was marketed as a machine for the future.

Designed by Jean Foufounais and Andre Deviaz and named after Jean’s wife Chantal, the Chantal Meteor jukebox was launched at a Paris trade show in 1954. The first Chantal Meteor was manufactured in France and featured 120 selections with the 60 discs arranged in two rows, but seeing the potential in a machine that held more selections, a new “revolving doughnut” mechanism was installed. The jukebox was re-launched as the Chantal Meteor 200 and production moved to Lausanne, Switzerland. The jukebox was manufactured here from 1956 to 1961, but after only five years of production the Chantal Meteor factory was destroyed by fire.

This is not the end of the Chantal Meteor story as in 1959, David Fry – owner of the Bristol manufacturing firm Frenchay Products – had begun production of a British version of the jukebox under the licence name ‘Chantal Ltd’. It is in this factory that our jukebox was made. In the initial month of manufacture, 75 machines were produced, which increased to 100 per month until 1962.

Such was the significance of a British firm entering the US-dominated market of jukebox manufacture it was reported in a 1959 edition of the US Music Business magazine Billboard under the headline: “Chantal Jukebox Completely Manufactured in Great Britain”, referring to the fact it was “believed to be the only such machine completely manufactured – down to the last nut, bolt and washer – in large quantities in Britain.”

Yes! The amp has been fully rebuilt by a very well respected jukebox guy who has 50+ years experience with these amps

That is an interesting model.

Not mine, seems like there was some talk about this cassette juke a while ago. Located in MI $450 https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/2992666787619605/?ref=facebook_story_share

Got my first jukebox a few days ago, a Rowe Ami MM6 Silver Sage from 1972. It has got 200 selections and a tube amplifier.

It does have an issue that I'm trying to work out: nothing happens when you press buttons, so you can't select a record. You can play a song by pushing some components on the inside. The drum, gripper arm and other pieces move like they should. The jukebox just does not seem ready to "take an order" The weird thing is, it did fully work a few days ago. No idea why it doesn't anymore..

20210519_175923 (resized).jpg20210519_221547 (resized).jpg

Ping me if you need any pointers. Rowe MM series is my jam.

Thanks to Coyote and a few people on facebook, I got it working
Next problem: sometimes when selecting a record, the 6 1/4A fuse blows on the power supply. When this fuse blows you can't use the buttons to make a selection anymore, even if there are credits on the machine. Also the record does not return into "storage".

If I replace the fuse, everything works like it should..until the fuse blows again while making a selection. Sometimes it happens the second time you want so select a song, sometimes it happens much later. So I wonder what the problem could be..

Hi Guys:

I'm looking to buy a reproduction 'Bubbler' jukebox, anywhere in the Dallas - Fort Worth area.

CD's, 45's or Digital.

If you have one for sale or know anyone who does, please send me a private message.

Thanks.

Scored this Bad Boy Saturday morning for a Song!
$1250

In Amazing condition.

20210524_085626 (resized).jpg

Great catch! Fantastic price!

Wow

WOW IS RIGHT! That era Rock Ola mech and MPU are super reliable. Dual amps too. Nice score.

I am all for helping Rock-Ola stay in business as I planned to buy a 90th Anniversary CD model.

However, all have since sold out but they offered to customize one with the clear panels, polished brass/"gold" grill, and aluminum cabinet a few months ago. No fifth rotating color drum though. They have since released
a Crystal Edition with the fifth drum though. Now for the thirteen thousand dollar question.

Scoring a not too old 1015 CD replica for $1250.00 is making me rethink it.....

Does anyone know what the specs are of the stock mid-range speakers in a Rowe Ami MM6? Can't find the specs of the broken one in mine and no clue if this is the original speaker.

I need to replace them but can't figure out:
-The impedance (how many ohms it has)
-Power handling (watts)
-Frequency response (..Hz to ..KHz)

Thanks in advance

I've got a Seeburg W restoration project for sale in Florida if anyone's interested (the price listed on my Craigslist ad is negotiable):

orlando.craigslist.org link

What you guys think this would be worth, good working condition ???
1954 seeburg 100r
Screenshot_20210624-153548_Chrome (resized).jpg

Does good working condition mean that the amp and receiver have been recapped? If so, retail on an R is somewhere between 2000-3500 realistically. Depending on if anything is cracked or broken and if the chrome is great, heavily pitted, or somewhere in between. If working but not rebuilt in the last 10 years or so, more like 1000-1600. If it has not been recapped, it can work fine right up to the point that a cap shorts and burns up the transformer - an expensive situation!

I disagree with @sbmania. If the plating is good, the receiver/amp are re-capped and all the glass panes are intact that juke is worth ~$4K. The R is arguably the best sounding 50s Seeburg.

I need to go look at , and ask ....thanks guys .

If anyone has any interest in an AMI C Model PM me. It worked last time we turned it on a few years ago. Plays 78’s.

I’ve also got a clean KD200 that will probably be up for sale in the near future.

NSM Nostalgia Gold

Yes, it's as nice as it looks. What is it worth? In the UK they are going for $2500-5000£ but I'm not seeing a whole lot of sales to base a valuation on in the US.
