Chantal Meteor 200 Juke Box selecting and playing

A video of my rare Chantal Meteor 200 Jukebox selecting and playing records.
This rare juke-box was made in Bristol, UK in 1959 and features an incredible record changer
and player mechanism never seen in another jukebox... see for yourself.
Inquiries about this machine welcome!

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

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.... :-)

Jukebox? I thought it was Robbie the robot!

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?

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!

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
