my uncle up to his death in the late 80's made high performance cartridges for jukeboxes out of his house,he used part of a shell casing and other parts,sold them though magazines,they were superior to other brands,I think he sold 2 to 4 thousand dollars worth a month,a lot of money back then,working a couple hours a day.

A perfectly restored "grade 1" Seeburg R would sell between $5500-$7500, including chrome plating all the cabinet parts. It is one of the best sounding jukeboxes of its era and uses an analog 25-watt mono amplifier that can capture digital-equivalent sound range frequencies. I had a violin maker listen to mine last year and he swore he heard notes on records he has heard hundreds of times before, but never heard those sounds. Seeburg jukebox sound quality was sensational.

Rick - This is a 1954 Seeburg model R -- NOT 1957. Jukebox collectors refer to this model as the "bandshell" due to its anodized gold aluminum curved back inside the cabinet. It was Seeburg's 1955 model but was phyically manufactured in 1954. Jukeboxes were made like cars -- they tooled up in the Spring and made equipment for introduction in the Fall for the subsequent model year. The R had superb sound. The 25-watt analog amp specs indicate a freq. range from 20hz to 25,000hz..

@RoPWU
I film each of our videos with a Flip camera. This helps our customers have a better understanding of how the project is restored. Thanks, Kelly
