Taking something that is 60, 70 0r more years old, and making it work again. I've got one in my shop now that's 60 years old, that I stripped down to bare wood, now I'm building it back up one piece at a time, by cleaning, buffing, or rebuilding. It's a time consuming process, but when you plug it in, and start it up, and it works, you are the happiest man on earth. They just don't make things anymore that will last that long. It's a very satisfying hobby.ããSysOp: C.G.

I did several chassis off/ ground up restorations on a few 1955 Desotos. Now, since I live in a condo, I keep it to just jukeboxes. I've restored five units so far, with this last project prob being my last. To date I've restored:ãã1 - Seeburg VL200ã2 - Seeburg 222ã3 - Wurlitzer 2300ã4 - Seeburg LPC1ã5 - Seeburg AY160ããI usually sell them after restoring them to finance the next build. I kept the LPC1. and I'm keeping the AY160, as it's one of the last Seeburgs that show the record mech playing the records. ããIt's a great hobby, but very difficult to do in a condo. The neighbors don't care for the paint smells, sanding, hammering, and noise. I had a shop at my old house for the other rebuilds. It's just to complicated to do at the condo.ããSysOp: C.G.

Very cool. I have always been facinated with the bubble lights on those oldãjukeboxes. Not sure if it was just a Wurlizter thing, or not....Just alwaysãliked them. Being able to see the record playing also adds to theãexperience. I always had a record player growing up...having a physicalãdevice playing will always be tops in my mind. ããAll the best!ã-Jerryãã--- Mystic BBS v1.12 A45 2020/02/18 (Windows/32)ã * Origin: HB1BBS Packet Radio BBSã

Used parts, check out ebay, new parts, try Victory Glass. Amp repair, Jukebox Doc in ohio. Like anything else in this world, be careful, and watch out for bad sellers. Alos, if you are on facebook, there are lots of jukebox forums you can join where other jukebox people will give you guideance and helpããSysOp: C.G.
