I absolutely appreciate the work he's doing for restoring these!

Thank you for posting such an amazing program about that amazing jukebox! I love seeing how you laboriously brought something that had long been reduced to old junk and restore it to its former glory.

I would love to hear an hours worth of music played on this machine with no interruptions!

About 34 years ago, I saw an ad for a 1938 jukebox. The seller said that it worked but the audio would suddenly drop off to zero after about one minute. I still wanted to drive down just to see if but my friends told me I was nuts for wanting to make a 100 mile road trip “just to look at an old juke box that had problems.”

WONDERFUL... I love the sound of vintage 40's & 50's audio. I recently read somewhere that modern equipment does not really play well. It's the reason consoles are torn apart for their components and large woofers. I've been lucky enough to have listened, if for brief periods some of these exquisite sounding machines. And, they were beautifully designed and constructed. Thank you.

I agree I recently heard an old 78 jukebox and it sounded amazing to the jukeboxes that played 45s.

By the late 1930's 78's had a response to 12,000 Hz, that is why they sound so good. Listen to all the great recordings by Artie Shaw, if they rolled off at 5000 they would sound like crap. Many of the very early electic recordings did roll off fairly low, this was caused to a great extent by the use of carbon microphones which were never able to resolve high frequencies. Ribbon and Dynamic mics changed this.

Brilliant work. I applaud you for bringing it back so perfectly. It's easy to purchase one that survived well, but saving one like that is so much more special. I love 1930's art deco, especially radios and jukeboxes, and it was treat to see your machine.

something as is easy forgoten is that if the amplifire is changed or even the speaker is changed the original sound is forever lost.

I recently bought a 1937 Rockola RM-16 Rhythm Master and the poor mechanism was cracked. I brought it to a gentleman who been restoring jukeboxes for over 30 years and with no luck he couldn't find one.

Neat. The only thing that doesn't make sense is the claim that it was "dead for 80 years"....... it didn't even get 10 years of service before it failed? I fixed a 1961 Seeburg... and I would guess it died somewhere just before 1980, based on the selections.

Yes, it was stone dead for 79 years. It was missing critical parts, so it was incomplete and didn't work at all. I have over 2000 hours of labor in it -- brought it back to 100% physical and operating condition. Hardest project I ever did but I am very proud to resurrect it from the long dead. TX for your post.
