Frenesi by Artie Shaw played on our Wurlitzer 1015 jukebox

[HunterMann]

Great video and one of my favorite Artie Shaw tunes!!  Someday I'll invest in a real juke box, this one is a classic!!

[Larsky1010]

To play the flip side, does it turn the record over, or use the tone arm on the underside?

[seftonwallet]

These machines don't play the flip side, only the one side facing upermost.

You have to remove the disc and turn it over to play the other side.

[enaj78]

Reminds me of listing to this on my father's juke box at the old Half Way House in Philly and looking at the "World of Mirth" carnival across the street at "G" St and Luzerne on an empty lot.

[bushoisa]

Oh its amazing!

[coywin]

Terrific. Like Shaw's clarinet.

[rickw1954]

My favorite big band song of all time, by the most talented clarinetist of all time. Nice 1015! I've got the same record on my 700! Late at night I turn the lights out, pour a glass of Harvey's and enjoy my Wurlitzer!

[PastReflectionsDVD]

Yep!

That's what we do, mine's G&T.

How Many Grams Does This Jukebox Track At?

[seftonwallet]

Sorry I don't know. There is however a modern cartridge in the arm, otherwise it would carve up the records.

[bbb665]

I like your post. What I did to achieve a constant speed is to stick carwheel balancing leads underneath the turntable (on the outer rim at 4 places 12,3,6 and 9 o' clock).It makes the plate a bit heavier and therefor gets constant speed...

[mrtunes3211]

Hi, Was there a reason for such a large tone arm, Or was it more a whimsical thing ?

[seftonwallet]

I think the style of the tone arm was part of the design. The cartridge inside the head isn't so large, but the original needles tended to ruin the records. These days most people with 1015s fit a modern cartridge inside the head of the arm as I have done.

[that1940sguy]

Both. The original "horseshoe magnet" cartridge was so huge, it filled up the whole head of the tone arm.

NICE JUKE!

[AronCorrientes]

¡Hermosa maquina! Gracias por compartirla con nosotros. Te mando u

[noahf67]

Those 78rpm carriers were real war-horses.

Anyone ever see an original 1949 Seeburg A-100 in action? Apparantly the original 100 line with the console and consolette remotes

housed 78rpms...soon altered to accomodate 45s. So those very first chrome Seeburg table-side machines were grinding out the 78's!

[jamesdean062879]

You will do your records a great favor if you use a gentler cartridge. That may require decreasing tone arm weight, as well as improving its bearings, so that a gentler cartridge can be used. Otherwise the current set-up will chew up priceless and non-replacable recordings (they will vanish eventually...noone makes them anymore). Too bad that happens, too, because that jukebox is incredibly impressive just the way it is.

[jamesdean062879]

Amazing jukebox, and amazing song, too.  (don't know why everyone gets so touchy about the mention of Mexico)

You need to work on the turntable drive, though. The speed is very irregular. The bass is amazing, though. What's the size of that speaker? About 18 inches? It's quite nice! The field coil is enormous, too!

[discorecords]

Amazing jukebox!!! Beautiful music also of course. Wow

[VinylToVideo]

Such a warm and natural sound can't be beat. It sounds like Shaw's playing in the same room as you!

[ssimpalass]

woow

[wisedup]

WOW....I love 1015's..chills..thoes little bubbles..lol..(god i'm getting old..lol)

[Serglish]

Frenesi a great Mexican Music

[MrMemories]

The song may have originated in Mexico, where Artie Shaw first heard it, but this version is 100% American!

[Nataly99]

Mr Memories Despite the talent of de american version from Artie Show the really magnificent of this teme is his sapanish poem fromm de mexican Alberto Dominguez Borras . The first time I heared the song was in my countrie Argentine at 17 years old

[MrMemories]

Nataly...I know that there must be different versions of this, but it would be great to hear the original popular version that Artie Shaw heard the first time he went to Mexico and heard it.

[jwnk67]

Bonjour

That's remind me of Frenesi on V disc , that an american GI's played on my pick up

That was in Algeria in 1943.................I was 7

[seftonwallet]

Bonjour,

I hope Frenesi by Artie Shaw on our Jukebox has given you some happy memories.

Kevin & Erica

[RCAradio]

I alway wanna one, great sound and I do like bass. May I ask u what type tube using in the ampifiler?

[seftonwallet]

It's the original 1946 amplifier, but I don't know the tube numbers.

However, I found the following on the net: This is the schematic

of the Wurlitzer 1015 and the 1080. I checked mine 1080. There is a resistor

R24 a 100 Ohm 1 Watt connected from pin 2 of de 5u4 tube to pin 4 of both of

the 6L6 tubes and more. This wire is also connected to the audio

transformer.

How Do i get one of Those Jukeboxes for 38's 78's and 45's let me know i been looking for one

[seftonwallet]

This is a Wurlitzer 1015, abd only plays 78s. I've never heard of 38s?

Look in your local Yellow Pages under Jukeboxes, or search the net for a dealer.

[alanor76]

This is really ace. You need half way decent speakers or phones to appreciate it properly

[usspike]

It always seems that records, especially 78 RPM's sound incredibly better on the machines they were designed for.

I'm liking this alot. Probably more than I should :)

[debiani3866]

you got one of my favorite jukeboxes :)

[HighwayCinema]

Thanks! Great music and wonderful jukebox! All that modern MP-3 stuff can kiss my _ _ _ !

[KissKissSmooch]

You are so lucky!

[GuildfordGhost]

Great stuff, Keith. The sound quality from your Wurlitzer is better than my professional studio deck after being equalised!  Cheers from Philip (who sold you some of these on eBay)

[hajune]

GREAT STUFF

[jim30bell]

This really IS a neat posting...I gave it 5 stars, too.

[Kruschevs]

I love when the strings take over in the middle

[GreekCallas]

Wonderful!

[jasonlava]

Beautiful music!

[laceup1967]
