the scarcity of parts is a factor.
These three manufacturers repre
sent the truly "antique" jukebox
examples available today.
Choice of decade
The '20s represent the odd and
unusual jukeboxea They appear
much like giant radio cabinets with
a coin slot, and some strange con-
traptions moving the records around.
If you want the unusual this is the
decade for your tastes. Bevelled
glass, mirrors, fancy woodwork, very
solid cabinets* extraordinary weight
and lots of clunky mechanisms rep
resent the later '20a
The '30s offered a somewhat more
refined jukebox. The major jukebox
manufacturers originated in the
1930a Earlier these same com
panies may have been producing
other products, but the jukebox was
a new addition. The trial and error of
the late '20s led to a refined mech
anism for the '30a Ten selections
were the number of plays considered
ample at the tima Wurlitzer actually
used their original 1933 designed
mechanism until 1949 with the mod
el 1100. The early mechanism was
just improved and added onto in
order to accommodate additional
records Seeburg had some problems
at first, but settled on a mechanism
that lasted until 1948. The'30s rep
resent a better opportunity for the
novice. Although the mechanisms
were more reliable^ the sound systems
tolerable, the cabinets were still in
the class of a fancy radio. The end
of the '30s introduced colored plas
tics, and is a story we have heard
before. Restored, they make excel
lent reliable additions to a collection.
he '40s have to be divided
into Pre-War and Post
war models. It is during
this decade that juke
boxes peaked in cabinet
design and mechanical abilities at
the same time. The majority of col-
Sectors who have more than three
jukeboxes specialize in the '40a
After 1949, many collectors agree
that the mechanical abilities in
creased, but the cabinet design is
lacking. Models made after World
War II represent the finest in work
manship. Those models from 1940

to 1942 represent the peak in cab
inet design, but are somewhat short
in mechanical qualities Jukeboxes
from 1946 to 1949 are the best all
around models.
The mid '50s separates the "an
tiques" from the modern looking an-
cestora As soon as the mechanisms
were hidden from view, and the
show disappeared from the cabinets*
the collectible qualities are lost Al
though Seeburg had nearly per
fected a modern mechanism in 1948,
Rockola and Wurlitzer were stretch
ing their imaginations to make their
older technology compete in a new
kind of market. Some of those mod
els are not only awkward in appear
ance, difficult to keep running, and
heavy machines, but will certainly
be the expensive models of tomorrow.
