When one thinks of classic jukeboxes, they are
usually thinking of the Wurlitzers made from about
1940 to 1949. However, the other manufacturers of
that decade also had their collectors items. Most
articles dealing with the classic jukebox period omit
these boxes but I am going to give them a shot
because they were beautiful and neat machines.
Remember the old Pickle Barrel or Trash Can or
Washing Machine made by Seeberg? Well, all of the
above were the same machine. The 146-147-148
Seebergs played 20 records(78RPM). The white dome
By Jim McLellan
on the top changed colors. It was far-ahead of its time
becuse the mechanism was hidden. People during
that time period (and today, I believe) preferred to see
the record play. Mainly for this reason, this jukebox
was not very popular. It had a very futuristic design and
looked like something from Star Wars.
Which is Which?
It is common knowledge among the top scientists
and futurists here on the planet Earth that the first
visitors from outer space are going to ask immediately
upon departure from their space craft, "Show me a
jukebox". Since they will be rushed for time, we will
show them a 1015 Wurlitzer as THE representative of
a jukebox.
When Hollywood wants a flashy jukebox for a scene
they call for the 1015 Wurlitzer. It is the classic of the
classics. That's the one that changed colors from
green to gold to orange to purple and back to green.
The one with eight bubble tubes that seem to keep
time with the music. When Wurlitzer told Paul Fuller to
pull out all the stops in 1946, the 1015 was the result —
the most successful jukebox of all time. More than
56,000 were shipped from the factory in North Tono-
wanda, New York which makes it a fairly common
collectors item. When people over40 see a 1015, their
first comment is "Oh Yeah. I remember that one". The
Smithsonian has one and the new Random House
Encyclopedia chose it as the photo for its definition of
a jukebox.
Rockola 1426
Wurlitzer 750
Automatic Musical Instrument Co. (AMI) produced
for its biggie the AMI Model A in the mid-forties. Known
affectionately as the Mother of Plastic, the Model A
was large, almost 6' and gaudy. It played 20 records
but could play both sides thus doubling the selections
of the Wurlitzers, Seebergs, and Rock-Olas.
The Model 1426 Rock-Ola was a gorgeous piece of
machinery. A lot of class, well built, and good tone. The
The 1015 is used as part of our logo.
