Spoon-feeding Newbies since 2001...  Yeah..220,221 whatever it takes. Remember, all it needs is a shot of Freon! The Vendo V-83 is the '59 Edsel of the coke machine world. ;p Spray painting does NOT restore a compressor 11 is louder than 10... "Hope" is good, but it's not an action plan. |

"And now, the rest of the story!" I have always wanted a jukebox but I had been able to fend off that bug and concentrate on other items, that is until Rod showed off the juke that he picked up at the Chicago show!  Thanks Rod! Anyway, I started poking around looking at machines on CL and E-Bay; but knowing nothing about them, I enlisted Kilroy to give me a little direction on models, values, parts availability etc . . . . He pointed me to a pinballrebel.com which has a great directory of all of the models with pictures and I quickly decided that I liked the Seeburg "Tail-light models"--KD 200, KS 200, 161 or 201. As Kilroy pointed out, so do a lot of other people, his exact words were "Not quite an RC 81 but more like a 7Up 81!"  I have been searching and searching and coming up empty,  considering other models, almost compromised and bought something else; but, Kilroy told me to be patient that one would come along. Well yesterday it did and today I am picking it up. As noted earlier, my wife gave it an enthusiastic "Go for it! That will be fun to have in the basement gameroom!"  Just checked it out and my son and I will be heading out with the truck to pick it up in the next hour. More pictures to follow but here is a preview shot! Thanks again Kilroy for all of the help in the past and all that I will need in the future! Tim PS: Kilroy is also a good marriage counselor--he has instructed me to make sure that I buy my wife's favorite song and get in playing on the jukebox! He also assured me that this machine will go for $5,000 or $6,000 once it has been restored!   |

nice juke! I love those models as well. My dad restored jukes as I was growing up and I always loved the 161 and 201. We had a 201 in our basement for a long time until it was replaced by a 222 which is a cool juke but no where near as classy as the tail fin models. Good choice!

That's pretty nice. I like the large glass front. I have a newer CD Fireball juke. My in-laws have a Seeburg, but it's not as nice of a style as the one you have. They have talked about getting rid of it. I'm going to look at that website you mentioned and see if I can figure out which one it is.

I have a R100 that I am proud of. Really like the KD200 and the KS200 with the rotating drum
title strips. I also would love to have an AMI Continental with the dome covered turnatble and the
curved title strip display on top. Very space age looking. Seems like the 57-58 era was THE era
what with the tail fins all around (on jukes and cars, that is).

The juke is home safe and sound. Inserted a couple of 45's and got her to play. First song to come blaring out of the speakers was "Fire" (I am the God of Hell fire . . .) by The Crazy World of Arthur Brown! I could not believe I still had that single packed away. It sounded pretty good even though the record is pretty scratched up. After that, a little Grand Funk Railroad "Locomotion"! It appears that it will need some cleaning and adjustments to be 100% but I am happy with the buy. The wiring for the most part appears to be all original and I am thinking it may be wise to check all of that over for crispies! Here is a picture all lit up with the lights turned down and the USS 64 keeping watch in the background! Tim |

Ordered a couple of new "fangs for the cobra" today. Also stopped at an Antiques Mall near Saginaw yesterday and picked up some good condition used 45's for $1.00 each. Most appear to be original pressings. They must have gotten them from a juke operator because some have the title strips in the sleeves. An eclectic mix: Frankie Avalon Venus/Bobby Sox to Stockings Little Richard Tutti Frutti/Kokomo Marvin Gaye I Heard it Through the Grapevine/You Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell Ain't No Mountain High Enough/Give a Little Love Oliver Good Morning Starshine/Jean Ringo Starr Back Off Boogaloo/Blindman Paul Revere & the Raiders Indian Reservation/Terry's Tune Kate Smith God Bless America/Star Spangled Banner Keith 98.6/The Teeny Bopper Song Donna Summer Dim All the Lights/There Will Always be a You--had to have the queen of disco! Donna Summer On the Radio/There Will Always be a You--obviously did not buy it for the B side! The Supremes and The Temptations I'm Gonna Make You Love Me/A Place in the Sun Byron Mac Gregor Americans/America The Beautiful--the Michigan guys will remember this one! Mariah Carey I'll Be There (unplugged)/So Blessed Blood, Sweat & Tears Lucretia Mac Evil/Lucretia's Reprise Kim Carnes Bette Davis Eyes/Miss You Tonite Jose Feliciano Light My Fire/California Dreamin' Creedence Clearwater Revival Bad Moon Rising/Lodi That will get the juke a little closer to full!
