Chantal Meteor 200 Juke Box selecting and playing

What a beautiful machine!

Thank you so much for posting!

I love the opposing tone-arms.

And the fact that you can spin the entire mechanism is odd and fascinating at the same time.

I just love this jukebox. How on earth did you get it?

[BruLc2]

I have always wanted to see one of these operate. What a treat!!! Congratulations to you for even having acquired this very rare jukebox! I loved this video and thank you for the opportunity of seeing this.

what a crackin juke box. shame that the rubber wheel that transmits the rotation of the record has worn (as you commented). otherwise looks a fantastic jukebox. cheers.

I have finally watched the video (because I'm on the old 56K connection) and the machine is not only stunning by its form but also for its powerful sound despite the compact size of the amp and speaker!

I have seen on the selecting panel Light My Fire by The Doors... Select this and post it it would be a perfect tune on this jukebox! If you can, add electro and dance music as Poker Face by Lady Gaga this should make the machine magic!

What a chance to watch this box from space in action! I have already seen it in a german jukebox website with beautiful illustrations but not in action! I build virtual jukeboxes on the PDF platform and I have inevitably had the Chantal in my plans but the lack of informations about this jukebox has made me shelving this project! Your video should give me a lot of infos about it! Congratulations and Thanks for posting!

Speed is a little off,other wise, that Chantal is great !

[leopardus3]

Yes speed is a bit off, the rubber wheel that transmits the rotation to the record worns out pretty fast... my Chantal has been playing non stop for entire days when we had gameroom public opening... never failed once.... :-)

[cushinee]

I didn't think that particular turntable used an idler wheel.I had assumed that the turntable platter was driven by a link belt, as seen in your video ?

A grand example of this jukebox, long may she play.... nothing like this ever came down this way to NewZealand

Jukebox? I thought it was Robbie the robot!

[mtv70pn]

the speed on the second record seems to be a little too slow to me

[goodshiite]

ROCK, been wanting to see this one a while, thanks for posting!

So the only other jukebox with one feature similar to this one's is the AMI K of the same year, with a similar sequential wheel for selection making by the user, requiring the user lots of time to set it to the desired position, which is why this system flopped. Anyway it's a nice find!

Ya awesome, seen one in a book, and now it is showing here. Cheers, thank you for posting.

Thank you for sharing this rare gem with us. I've been looking for pictures of this jukebox mechanism for a long time! It was really innovative and stunning too. The revolving mechanism was really ahead of the competition, faster than seeburg's linear system and appear to be a lot shorter than wurlitzer's carrousel wich is rather tall.
