I love jukeboxes and would love to restore an old Wurlitzer or Seeburg, but for now I have restricted myself to building touchscreen jukes. I am getting ready to remodel my basement and build a bar and I will probably end up picking up a 27" Touchscreen to mount to the wall for my jukebox. In my living room I went for a different style though.

There is a local family owned music store that has been in town for about 75 years. The owner restores old radios and has about 50 of them in his store restored. One day I stopped in and told him what I was interested in doing and asked if he had a cabinet I could buy that wasn't going to be restored. He said he had the perfect cab. Was missing everything and he said it was beyond restoration. He gave it to me for free.

I stripped it and applied fresh lacquer. I added a 15" touch screen and a 200w computer speaker setup (sub and 2 speakers). It has about 25k songs on it or about 1600 albums. I have started adding music videos recently and have a large collection of Mastermix (DJ) CDs on it. The bezel around the monitor is temporary and I still haven't made a suitable replacement and the speakers need to be replaced, although they work find for a living room environment. I am considering adding bluetooth to both jukes and running them through a Sonos system in the living room and game room. The jukebox software I use is Etouch.

I was planning a secondary monitor for the videos, now playing, and possibly karaoke. Any specific reason you are suggesting a 23"? I'm not committed to anything yet so i'm all ears.
