Yup, but this one is the most beautiful of all "closed" jukeboxes IMHO
The story ? Not that much. Through this hobby I got also interested about jukeboxes. (We were at some fairs with a stand that also had a lot of them)
I knew that the open one's are something you don't buy "just like that" so I looked around for a closed one and by browsing a lot of them I saw this model and fell in love with it. The half moon shape on the side is so beautiful, the return of a lot of chrome and the purplish neon-like front and projected light on the "rear" is simply brilliant.
About 2 years ago I found the same model (through Martkplaats, just like this one) but defective in 020.
(Sorry, 020 = telephone code for a city they erratically declared our capital)
The problem was that it was in one of those old homes. Although it was on the ground floor, it would have had to be LIFTED through a pretty high leveled window. The walls of these buildings are also very thick. If you know that this one weighs 195 kg (about the weight of the SW cab, but since it's much smaller it is virtually much heavier to handle) I had to arrange at least 4 guys to get it out of there.
That, plus the fact that it was defective and I really didn't feel like having another project to work on but wanted a working one.
FFWD to a few weeks ago, sold the pin, new furniture and a gaping hole to fill
If I hadn't my wife probably would have bought another useless cabinet where even more useless stuff would be stored for eternity SO I searched Marktplaats again and here it was !
Although it has one operating problem (it sometimes forgets a track) it was working otherwise. It needs to be cleaned though. And some adjustments, minor work.
Oh and @Sonic, a jukebox would be a waste of space in my Game Room (it would take the place of almost 2 cabs, and my game room is small as you probably know) and I really wanted this one in my living room. The looks only are gracing our interior
Even my wife finds it very beautiful
