Jukes are back in vogue. Especially 50's and 60's Jukes. They are expensive to buy and maintain. You can get manuals and parts from the USA. It is a bit like pinball was in the 90's - parts and info are hard to locate.

Valve amps are simply the best. I love the sound of an old juke playing a 45.

Unless you buy an old Juke and have someone that is familiar with the Juke, then steer away from the old style Jukes. They are better than the CD Jukes, but CD Jukes are easier to maintain and you can always play new tunes. With older Jukes, you are restricted to 45's - so you will be listening to mid 90's music and earlier.

There are Wurlitzer CD players in the style of the old Jukes. They still look cool. I prefer AMI Continental II, but they don't have CD style and an original will set you back $6000 restored.
