I don't even consider that tune a Christmas song I love the 20 plus minute version that Coltrane does!
Anyone here own a Jukebox?
- Thread starter Zymurgy
- Start date
For anyone interested, my jukebox had a couple of options, one is a stepper (the 2nd photo) to hook up competitors 60's wall boxes, and another for a wired remote control.
I bought a Seeburg wall box and I am currently cleaning it up. I bought the remote control switch and hooked up 5 wires and it worked perfectly. The motor is to physically move the volume knob and was still installed in the jukebox.

A jukebox and two smaller units? I'd say you're hooked! You'll have your own jukebox repair business in no time!
I definitely have the bug I have convinced a couple of cousins they need one too.
I pledged to myself I won't buy another until I give Goldie some love this winter. I am going to restore and install a passenger power seat base, and install a auto pilot too.

how 'bout a record player?I pledged to myself I won't buy another until I give Goldie some love this winter. I am going to restore and install a passenger power seat base, and install a auto pilot too.
I actually read up about those a couple years ago, they had special records just to be played with that record player. If I had a car of that vintage, damn right I'd have one.
Maybe Goldie needs a turntable...
Thanks a lot Rags now I'm looking up automotive record players on the internet, and have one I am watching on ebay.

if it matters to you, that car is one of favorites. truly beautiful.
I think I am going to have to do this. The only problem it will be the most expensive record I own.

How To Mold and Cast a Record That Actually Plays
Interesting!!
I would like to try and do this just to say I did it, but I think I could only really be able to do one side, with the best results possible.
When I make a squeeze mold I set the object I am replicating in clay. If I could make a perfect clay ring that only touched the outer 1/4" lead in it might work.
The clay must remain on the edge, because I can't remove the record from the mold, to even try to properly clean it, until both sides are poured.

How To Mold and Cast a Record That Actually Plays
Interesting how that article says for 78 RPM records.
I think their angle on this is the one side playing of the 78 records. It is much easier to just copy one side. I might try with a 45 record.
If I can make a squeeze mold with only a trial size of the mold material I will do it. Otherwise I will just do one side and pretty much use the method they show.
Also, the size and depth of most 78 record grooves are larger and deeper than that of 45s or LPs. As with all molding processes, the info being reproduced gets part of it lost... I would expect microgroove and early "coarse" groove LP records may not produce a favourable facsimile in this method. I'd be interested to find out.
I was hoping you might chime in Ross and give me your thoughts on the subject.
I think I might have my first planned copy, it was a 4-H line dance song "Amos Moses", in which the song quality won't be so critical. If it goes well then I might try others.
Let us know how it goes!

My folks had a bunch of 78's that were recorded on each side, they were thick and brittle. They even had this old classic on 78, same label too! Enjoy.
Well I might have a problem. I got my jukebox running great, so after some cosmetic restoration and painting it will be going to my house. I decided I was going to miss have a jukebox in the shop, so I found a $50 Seeburg LPC 480. After I got it home I discovered it had one missing component and some cosmetic issues.
They very next week I found the same model missing a couple of major components, but had the one I needed plus the cosmetic items I need where good on this one. A bonus when I got there it was loaded with 80 45s from mostly 79-81. I ended up with at least $50 in records for the $50 price.
This is when it starts getting out of hand. I saw a 1965 Wurlitzer 2900, when I was at this business. Of course it was for sale and I will be picking it up this weekend.
Then not 2 days later a very cool Seeburg 100 wallbox came up for about a 1/3 of what they typically sell for. Yes I definitely have a problem.

These things are very much like C-Bodies - only cheaper, so you can buy more. . . I know of a guy who has working juke boxes in every room on the first floor of his house. No furniture - just juke boxes. . . You stll really need a V-Model Seeburg.
