Anybody own a Jukebox? Curious your experiences....

Ive been contemplating purchasing one for a while now and just havent found the right one. Curious if anybody owns one and if so, what kind, 45s/78/33s/cds, etc? Also do you enjoy or regret your purchase?

Ive located a wurlitzer 1015 "one more time" in mint condition, its completely refurbished by an authorized dealer and plays vinyls/45s which I want.

Lastly, i'd love to see some pictures of yours if you have!

Thank you!!

This is a link to the kind im considering: http://www.pinballrebel.com/archive/...me_jukebox.htm

Agreed with this, that's why I was looking at the 1015 OMT time, newer internals, but vintage look of the '46 1015. I could go with the Rockola look-a-like, or the Antique Apparatus, but figured the Wurlitzer One More Time was the last from Wurlitzer company itself, figured if I don't have the real deal 1946s, Wurlitzer making the One More Time was next best thing.

Ok, I hope you find what you're looking for.

Yes, I've had a few AMI's, RockOlas, Seeburg's and Wurlitzer's.

For me buying a "one more time" is like buying a Gazelle when you want an Excalibur.

What is your budget for a box and most importantly how are you going to use it.

Are there different ways to use it?

Indeed and since you asked I assume you never had one?

Let me explain it in watch terms for easier understanding.

Would you buy an old DJ for diving purposes only?

Friend of mine had one for CD's...bought it nearly 20 years ago. We stocked it with 100 CD's, and I made the cards that inserted with all the songs titles.

Never changed one over all these years, and now the selection is pretty dated.

Growing up we had a Wurlitzer 1015 that played 45's, I have fond memories listening to it. I can't recall it ever having an issue after 20+ years. IMO records are the only way to go, I wouldn't get CD's.
