I whole-heartedly second Terry's opinion of how the "B" sounds, my family loves it, especially around this time of year when it's playing Christmas music!
Let us know if you need any help! with anything. Cabinet, electrical, mechanical, whatever!

it's most likely latex paint over the zebra wood, would love to know why so many jukes of this era were painted over with what we call 'Trunk Paint', the speckled textured stuff that was used in the car trunks of the 50's and 60's. Use heat carefully, I'm not a fan of the zebra wood underneath, but I can understand you wanting to preserve it
Since there is already a section that bubbled, have you tried (carefully) a plastic scraper? It would be tedious, but beats veneering.
And as Brian Said, Let us know if you need help. There's nothing like pulling a bottle of pop out of our machine while listening to your Jukebox =)

Be careful using a heat gun as the original "wood" vinyl will come off. This is very thin material and it will not take much to make it bubble.

I have the glass . I looks like a interior panel that's missing or something so you don't see the light in the back mirrors (like the embossed diamond pattern) . I ordered a manual tonight from Victory so will see if anything is missing .

The only two pieces that sit between the bulb and the Turntable Mechanism are the Diffuser Glass, like Matt mentioned, and the white grill panel that sits directly beneath it. The other two items that are directly below it are the Color Tray (Animation) and the Lower Glass which allows the color diffused light from the animation to project onto the poliches stainless or chrome grill bars.
In the picture, you will notice that the Diffuser Glass is missing, se the channel that it sits in? Look directly below that and you will see the grill that I am talking about.

Yea it looks like I'm missing the diffuser panel that sets in the channel and I'm missing the color tray because my chrome strips have been painted . Time to do some shopping .
Thanks again .
