LADIES AND GENTLEMEN PRESENTING FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 20 YEARS
« on: December 23, 2010, 12:07:12 AM »
i know Nino will be happy to see and a few other aswell but for the first time in 20 or 30 years one of Ninos dads jukeboxes is back together.   Not working but looking like a complete Juke.      This will still be completely stripped and rebuilt at a later date hopefully new chrome all round MMMMMMM new chrome  but for now it looks good and complete

Nice one Daniel, I love the old jukes, looking forward to spinning a few 45's in that man-cave of yours

I'm absolutely thrilled that you have a piece of our history in your man-cave  ^^^

I'm also not surprised that someone of your ability has this old Juke working. I met a collector on Saturday who bought around 10 Jukes from my father in the early 80's (this guy has 35-40 Jukes). There are plenty around, but the knowledge to repair them, is in people like your hands, Daniel.

Sure brings back some memories of when they were in operation !

I met a bloke who lived in St Kilda probally around 10 years ago that had the best collection of Jukes from all eras most restored and plenty yet to be restored and he also had old 50's microphones and all sorts of collectables. He was a fantastic guy who welcomed me into his home on our 1st meet gee I wonder if he still has that amazing collection of from what I can remember probally 20-30 machines. Keep up the good work Dan <..>

Nino probably snagged all the kiss records before his dad even had the chance to get parts  %.%

Same collector, Peter. His name was Frank and I spent the best part of two hours chatting about the "good old days". He has an amazing collection of 50's memorabilia.

I remember going to the Edwards St (Reservoir) Record store Every Saturday morning. I was 10-11 years old at the time, and Dad had Jukes on location all over Melbourne. So we would step up to the counter, ask for the "3XY Top 40" and Dad would order 10 sets of the "top 10" for that week (could have been longer), and he would take these records home and then type out the title strips on the ancient Olivetti Typewriter (still works). Then during the week (or two) he would cycle out the old records and install the new ones. An amazing time of my youth, as I can recall so much music from those days. I often get asked - "Why do you listen to KISS" ? Because I spent 10 years listening to Jukes boxes full of "top 10" singles and I did'nt like them that much !

I have some SUPER rare records ;

Led Zeppelin - Stairway to Heaven - Was never officially released as a single, but I have the record
Norman Gunston - Marching in the KISS Army - A KISS collector valued it around US$100 with the original cover
Beatles, Rolling Stones, Elvis - Tons of records !

Nino probably snagged all the kiss records before his dad even had the chance to get parts  %.%

I bought my FIRST Cassettes in 1978

KISS - Alive!
KISS- Destroyer

Later on, I bought EVERY Cassette. Still have some of them and I have an unplayed Cassette worth US$75. Probably bought it for $7.99

Daniel - look at the later titles on your Juke - this would have been the year it was last operated.

Yeah, Stairway to heaven is virtually impossible to find, i was looking for it for my jukebox a (Seeberg j100) there were about 150 demos done that sell for about $100 if you can find one, it was also on an EP which sells for over $200.

Irrespective of whether it is a pinball, arcade machine or jukebox - how good is it to see an old machine brought back to life. 

Nino you must be stoked to see the old girl taking shape.  Let's just hope that at least one of our kids shares the same passion as us later on in life to keep the old girls in our collections running.

Great stuff guys!

Blair - Nothing makes me happier than seeing "history" in other's gamesrooms. Especially GREAT people like Daniel who have an endless dedication to the hobby. The future lies our kids' hands and we have to pass on our experience AND these old machines. Luckily, (to the best of my knowledge) - All the Jukes that were gathering dust are in member's garages or gamesrooms.

I'm stoked that the pins, jukes, billiard tables, video cabs, cocktail cabs and even a cigarette vending machine are in my friend's gamesroom. I just wish there was more left in storage that I can pass on. There will be more, and as always, offerred HERE first.

I will visit Daniel's place again and listen to a few tunes and enjoy a beer  @@*
