i've just realized i forgot to mention something: the jukebox also came with tons of singles (95% crap though), but amongst them was the "centipede single" i've already shown above. but just because it is so cool, let me repost that pic :arrow:

all i need is ... PONG - and a select few others: TOUCH ME, DRAGON'S LAIR, JOUST, ROBOTRON, MR DO, SAN FRANCISCO RUSH THE ROCK!!!

I can imagine how you felt when you lost those keys !

Anyway, that model jukebox is totally badass !!  I love the looks of that one   :spaceace: :spaceace:

Goodluck by the way on getting that beast 4 stories up to your appartment.....

It sure looks heavy  :o

Great roadtrip story, love the "derailed pics" and congrats on getting your dream jukebox. It is a great Seeburg but personally I still prefer the USC1 :)
You were very right to get the one with the disco ball, that is one cool effect on this baby :):):)

I was very lucky in two ways with transport: we never put it on it's back because we used a van (simply lucky).
And also: the mechanism bolts (not the transport bolts) were at least screwed tight. I also didn't know about that until I put up a video of it playing and somebody told me I had to loosen those bolts/nuts....sound improved dramatically after that and it sets the mechanism on it's spring so it can move freely a bit, which also drastically reduced the movement sounds of the mechanism.

If the machine is not on Freeplay and you want it to be Freeplay, you can simply pull out the pricing module (with power off of course), at least that is how it goes on the USC1.

The previous owner obviously never knew about the mechanism bolts and he had rigged some external switch to credit the machine which looked terrible....

Hehe - I was right ;-)

spotted the same jukebox way back at the asshole warehouse in the netherlands months ago, but he asked too much for a broken one (1000+).
Pauls50 has also one on offer (2000+)

Hope you paid a fair price for this beauty. I own two Atari Jukeboxes but if I ever need another one, that baby is (and has been since the spotting) on my list.

I have some Rod Stewart vinyls left from my box, if you want to exchange some discs ;-)

Happy for you Ully!
This cool record means that this jukebox was still used and fed with new records at least 10years ago!
Now good luck carrying that monsters in the stairs ;)

Hahaha.....

1) I know the weight of these beasts
2) I know the stairs to Ully's place

I want a video of that !!!! With ALL the cursing, sweat and more cursing  ;D ;D ;D ;D



Seriously.....You need 4 guys.....I am not kidding...... alternatively you can fully disassemble the mechanism and move them up separately.
