    I waited my whole life to own a jukebox. In many ways I never thought I would ever own one.
    Then I got a good paying job. :righton:
    This year I bought one.
    Now it lives in the lounge and I get to see it everday!!!
    Everything is functioning, it's loud! and has been the best thing I've ever had and the proudest thing
    I've ever owned.

    So here are some snaps of my 'baby', my 'honey', my 'sweetie'.....etc

    is it only me, or do others have a soft spot for the ol' juke like I do, would love to see what 'goodies' you have:

    here's mine:

    Congrats on the jukebox. This is my 1967 Wurlitzer. All original, and all maintenance done by yours truly.

    Hi, no it is not this Juke, it is a 'replica' of that 78 rpm which they never made in the 45 version as this was many years prior..
    Of course Wurlitzer did do the 'one more time' model, which was less inferior and made mostly of plastic.
    Mine is the 'antique apparatus' brand which basically copied the original 78 version and housed it in a 200 play 45 version.
    The cabinet is all wood, the chrome is actually chrome and not plastic.....
    it has the great rowe/ami mechanism, which at this point, works wonderfully.

    I'm green with envy. Enjoy the heck out of it for me, OK? Which 45s will you fill it with? You should post the titles here!

    Wood and real chrome...wowww.

    Hey Hominy, I've never been proud of anything that I have..... I have a nice record collection, but nothing to brag about since
    hanging around here, ha........... but this was one thing I am proud to boast about :tiphat:

    it's my 'once in a lifetime' brag moment :agree:

    Its a 1980's (so they tell me) Jukebox, early to mid that is.
    The amplifier although not tube, is a 130Watt Solid State amp....
    If you want spcecifics, I can get details or photograph........
    It's basically the same cabinet as the 78rpm model but with the early 80's mechanism and electronics.
    Sexy Still.

    I have an NSM Prestige E160, circa 1977. Fully operational and loaded with 80 45s. Looks just like the photo below.

    Wow, they all look great. I'd love to have one.

    Now, guys, can you tell us what discs you have on your JBs so I can imagine which sounds I would select if ever you invited me round, assuming you let other people touch the buttons on your beautiful machines. Oh, and would I need to bring some loose change?

    Here is a pic of my Rowe 92 which is a 45 box with a pioneer six pack player used for the 6 cd programming portion.
    I make my own cdr comps for it or use standard cd issues.
    I rebuilt the player and bill/coin acceptors replaced lights and still works today.
    These were pretty much the standard issue in most Waffle House locations for many years.
