So on Monday i'm going to go pay my respects to a friend of the family/my orthodontist, and ask him for the old 45RPM Jukebox in his office that has remained unplugged and untouched for 10+ years. The way i see it, i'll move it for free and get it out of the lobby + $100 sounds fair to me.
If he says yes, and i get it, then the fun begins. I can't wait to load it up with a combo of the 7"s i have and start buying the dirt cheap lots of 45s on e-bay (like 100-200 for 15 or 20 bucks) and just mix and match and create a fun mixture of tunes.
Does anyone here have a jukebox? Do you know if its a lot of maintaining and cleaning, or if its pretty self-sufficient? I'm excited!

You have to make it good: a jukebox can be a real disappointment if it's loaded with rubbish. I can recommend a few good pubs in London where they take it seriously, and we're talking ace here.

Right, you can't take your jukebox in the subway. |

You can't compare an ipod and a jukebox. I'm so jealous, Brian.

My brother had the same reaction Remi. I just love the look of it - plus, it gives me something to do with all my 45s - its like instant dialing up of vinyl, instead of looking through my box, turning on the turntable, etc...

Have you heard about Ipod? it's smaller and has more songs in it. Ok it's not as beautiful.
If had enough space at home, I 'd rather buy a pinball. |
