Yea, I know it's off topic here at Soda-machines.com, but I also know that a few of you people are also into 'Jukes, so here's what I found, it's a SeeBurg S87 selectaphone, I'd say from the mid 30's, it plays 12- 78's it's complete & works.. so what can you tell me about it? I repair old tube radios, but know little about juke boxes...

My spelling is getting worse isn't it. I think I type too fast.

Johnie,
Are you looking to purchase or have you already took possession...?
I've personally never owned a box from the 30's but did own a Wurlitzer 700,which is from 1941, but gathering from this experience, these boxes are ALL mechanical and somewhat easy to work/tinker on with your "mechanical hat" on... This box is too old for me to have the manual; my Seeburg Manuals start at the 146 - 148, the Trashcans as they'll commonly called...
These boxes haven't really appreciated as much as the later models unless it's a rare model, which this may be... I have an opportunity to buy a Wultizer 1100 that is in excellent original condition, but my bank account hasn't had a deposit from the Collectible Gremlins in some time...
The 1100 is one of my favorite boxes!
Anyway, not sure if I helped Johnie...

My friend in a local vending business is getting ready to retire soon & I've listed some of his older syuff on ebay, candy machines, pinballs, gum machines, so basically I'm fishing for a starting point with this one I've tried researching it, but can't get a handle on the production & rarity, I've never seen an earlier one like this (completed anyway) the center red bar ( celulite) lights up to..takes nickels for one play, or a dime for three( I have an option to buy if I desire) he's also got a sweet restored 60's T-bird loaded that's going to go up too( in time for the Woodward dream cruise) he'g go a real nice Adams 1-cent gum machine that's to die-for  '> , & lots of cigarrete machines...an dno , you'll never get it out of me where he's located, I get to paw thru his basement first!

Neat machine (little too old though for my blood). I have a Seeburg book somewhere at home that has information on each juke. Let me see if I can round it up.

Have you tried the books "Silent Salesmen" or "Silent Salesmen Too"? http://www.gameroommagazine.com/bk_silentsales.htm
They are real good references for machines like that. |
