  • is this for sale?

    adam

  • No, I'm sorry.

  • jaw dropping !...I've loved these singing monsters ever I first one at 2 years old. I luckily own an AMI CONTINENTAL 1 and the Wurlitzer 2104 from 1957. But these two-tower models are too much !. I can only assume there is a tonearm on each side ???? !!!

    45's and 78s on different sides ?

    What cartridges do you use ?

    Fantastic gift to all jukes lovers in the world.

    Music never looked so good again after these jukes years, did it ?

    Greetings from Santiago !

  • Thanks for your comment!

    Yes, there are 2 tonearms; the juke uses the same Astatic Cobra cartridge for 45 and 78.

    Long life to the jukes!

  • what a lucky man!!! what a dream toy!

  • the Wurlitzer 1500.... I bet that was a nightmare to restore....

  • WOW! She's A BEAUTIFUL MACHINE! These Songs And Players Remind Me Of Christine The Steven King Film From 1978. I Bet The Sound Is AWESOME! I Need An Original Juke Box SO BAD! But Way Outta My Price Range Sadly, Yours Has Been Completely Restored I Take It By The Looks Of Her?

  • That upside down arm is for the B side?!?! OHH That is SOO COOL! This beats an iPod any day.... Although a bit less mobile.

  • Neat video...love the jukebox and the song is one of my favorites.

  • I'm only 28 but it's incredible, this song is so timeless. I'm sure it sounds just as fresh as it did the day it was released. Watching this jukebox play this song actually got me choked up. They're both beautiful!

  • Any chance you might have time in the future to put up a video showing the mechanic running through the motions....

  • @Dealit707

    If the machine is complete inside & out they could cost from $500-$1500 unrestored. I am restoring a 1500A now and it is a mechanical nightmare but it is a beautiful machine. Fully restored ones can sell for as much as $5000 but they are difficult to maintain. Only 1200 were made.

  • Nice to finally see the "twin towers" jukebox in action, and great to learn that it can intermix 45's and 78's! The mechanism may be complex because of the twin towers and the two separate tonearms for A and B side. However the selection method by combining one of 4 letters with one of 26 numbers was designed to clear up any confusion the machine may have otherwise.
