Mills Dancemaster Jukebox 1935 with Color Animation Units Plays Vogue Picture Disc 78 rpm

1935 Mills Dancemaster Jukebox (Ferris Wheel mechanism) with color animation units added playing a Vogue picture disc. The sound has been greatly improved since last posting (particularly the bass and volume) by adding a series of capacitors and filters and completely overhauling the tone arm including replacing the rubber gaskets surrounding the neeedle.

Thanks ... it does sound great with added filters and capacitors.

never seen a 78 picture disk is that old or re-pro I would not run it in a juke if it is rare

@force311999 That's an original Vogue picture disc, from the 1940's. Plays fine with a sapphire needle and a lightened tone arm; these are deep groove recordings and actually sound best with a restored tone arm/amp/volume control, changed capacitors to boost bass. Sounds great! Listen especially to "Tequila" which I've posted, be sure you have a bass enhancement.

Such a beautiful machine and in incredible shape! It sounds amazing from what I can tell in this vid. It gets all it can from that Vogue.. I was surprised to hear as much high end as I did. What's the title by the way? I'm digging the tune

[harristeeter1]

@PJDooWop The tune is "At Sundown" recorded by Clyde McCoy. Sorry, the comments above should have been addressed to you. Thanks again for stpping by!

I just love watching this player, but I can work out what or how each record spins.

[harristeeter1]

@mazzone1 Thanks for the comments! This machine has just been completely stripped down and, restored to a wonderful blonde lustre...you see here the old pictures. As soon as I have time I will post new videos showing the renovation. The sound has also been improved even more by adding some resistors here and there and re-doing the volume control, which boosted the bass considerably. Also, the tone arm was completely done over, including replacing the rubber pieces around the needle head.

Such a rare machine, with even a rarer 78. Seen this one, but don't own one yet. Well done!

@perryclouse1 I think it is like a rim drive a tire runs ageist the metal plate but not shire

[perryclouse1]

@force311999 what actually makes the turntable move since each record has its own plate nobody has actually shown or told what moves the individual plates

Wow! You've done a lot to brighten that thing up! Very nice job and sounds great! Boy it really slams that tone arm back doesn't it? LOL!
