  • Very nice demo video!

    Can you tell me the serial number of this machine? I got one in June '09 and finally got it working right in Sept. I notice a couple of things on your mech. that are different than my machine, serial #1732

  • Great video! I also own one of these jukes. Mine is the early version with the coin return on the front. Mine has a "DS" conversion cartridge.

    You left out one of the most important features of this jukebox. When changing from the "A" to "B" sides, it can be the same record, therefore playing both sides of a single record in one scan. In other words, it could have played "Part 1" and then "Part 2" of "Sing,Sing,Sing" sequentially, as the record was meant to be played.

  • THe second 78 is Benny GoodMan "sing sing sing" got the roiginal 78 rpm .. Great record

  • Does this use the same needle for 78s as it does for LPs?

  • I am also an owner of one of these fabulous machines! No, the 78 uses a 3mil needle(stylus) and for the LP conversion it uses a 1mil stylus.

  • So this is indeed my dream 78rpm jukebox - not only does it play both sides, it also plays both 10 and 12-inch! Ideal for me who likes classical. Does it detect the eccentric groove, even when it's not at the end of the playing area, as on a late-20's Victor Orthophonic record?

  • Oh, I see: that's exactly what it's doing at 4:02, as it's about to switch sides.

  • Excellently informative video. Fascinating to note how this old M100 Selectomatic mechanism is more sophisticated than later versions in that it can play both A and B sides in one transverse sweep. My 1962 DS160 can't do this.

  • I have a Q160, now I want an M100-A!!~Thanks for posting. I love 78rpms.

  • Gorgeous...I'd never seen one of the original 1949 M100A's in action.

    Some old Modern John Lee Hooker 78's would

    sound great on one of these!

  • Nice demo of a great music machine.

  • the Machine is great, the Music is great and the video also, thanks from Hamburg,Germany

  • Some Seeburg A's were converted to play 12" 33rpm records!!!!

  • What no MP3s ? Oh I see the music is stored on those black discs, obviously some kind of new storage technology.

  • mp3 is cool but this machine is romantic the sound of the vinil, the antique. maybe you dont understand. is just a curiosity

  • wht r u like 12????

  • A far out machine, and compliments for the choice of the records.

  • Complimenti per il video e per il restauro di questo meraviglioso seeburg,uno dei primi jukebox apparsi nel territorio italiano dove veniva modificato a 45 giri.Qui per la prima volta lo vedo nel suo originale funzionamento,e mi ha fatto veramente piacere lo show del "tornio" cosi' veniva chiamato simpaticamente in Italia questo imponente apparecchio.Grazie: TOSATO CLAUDIO.

  • When I was 6 or 7 years old, I found several 78 rpm Elvis records (Hound Dog was one) at my Grandmas that belonged to my Aunt, and I dropped them! It took years to be forgiven for that!

  • Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo­oooooooooooo. Those records never stood a chance.

  • Very good demo with a spectacular presentation! Awesome apparatus with a surprising sound for a 78 rpm jukebox!!!!

  • Now THAT is a jukebox!

  • Very impressive machine - amazing the technicality and precision of it all. Awesome editing job, too!

  • More please

  • ...to drop the coin in the slot...make that selection...and watch that piece of machinery slide down the rail...stop...grab the record...and the music came alive...PURE MAGIC! that jukebox i loved was an Rowe-AMI that sat there at Fat Boys' restaurant in Auburndale, Fl. that was at least 18 years ago, when i was playing T-Ball.

  • And just when I finally got "Mr. Sandman" out of my head. Thanks again LOL!

  • Excellent!! Never seen this model in action. Very good jukebox from 1949. Great to play both sides and different sizes of record.... more music to enjoy!!!

  • Sounds like "Sing, sing, sing" w. Benny Goodman. Gene Krupa beating the drums.

  • Thanks.

  • What's the name of that record right after "Hound Dog"? The one that starts with the drums and then the trumpet.

  • it's called sing, swing, sing

  • @recordcrazy23 no its called sing sing sing

  • WOW! What an awesome jukebox! I always wondered how it automatically selected record size. Great video!
