Well I did it.
I finally got myself a 1947 Seeeburg 147 (a.k.a. Trashcan) juke!
Actually I am buying almost 2 of them for a total of $600.
Plus they are local, so I don't have to pay for shipping.

One is complete except for some of the mini blue tile pieces on the front and the other is nearly complete, but it is all disassembled.
I figure I'll keep the complete one, and from the second one, I'll save any extra parts I want and then sell the other parts on eBay.

How many of you guys have trashcan Seeburgs?
What online resources have you found helpful, etc.
Know where I can find replacement blue mini tiles?

Talk to me about this cool lookin' jukes!

Mark -

Awesome score! Were those the two from Ebay? Not too long ago I had a Seeburg 146 (you may remember the pictures)

There are a few outfits around that have quite a few reproduction parts. Victory Glass has a good selection for the 146-147-148. Vern Tisdale has online schematics for free, Bill Butterfield in Napa, CA has a TON of parted out machines and also has some reproduction stuff available. John Durfee of Durfee Coin-op deals strictly in used parts.

A great guy to go to for Master Amplifier repair and capacitor kit's if you want to do your own re-capping is Bill Bickers of Jukebox Friday Night.

I have more places/people that I met or found while repairing my 146, let me know what you need.

If you need anything else, I'd be glad to help. I resurected my 146 from the dead. The entire mech was frozen!

Hi SignGuy,
You must have joined here when I was AWOL here this fall and winter.
Nice to meet a local fellow addict.

Yep bought them on Minneapolis/Saint Paul CraigsList from Kent today.
I just sent you a P.M.
Call me.

Looks nice, but I'm not much of a Trashcan man.  I also get my parts from Durfee Coin Op and Victory Glass.  I have also bought things off of ebay from Bill Butterfield, but his non-ebay prices are kind of high.

Also the Chicagoland Show is coming up on April Fool's Day.

Congrats 'Kito.
I passed on a 147, one side was shattered, and at the time I didn't know anyone made repro parts for the model.
It will look great next to the phone booth!

Hey Kilroy,
Everytime I see your ID, it makes me think that you have a clone living in Minneapolis.
I say this because there is a cool shop here called "Kilroy's Classic Malt Shop" that sells old soda machines, jukes, popcorn machines and every other cool old diner, etc. stuff.
I prefer to find mine out in the real world for a fraction of the price, rather than buying them there, but it is a cool place to walk through and wish I had all their stuff.
Check out their website:

I wish there was somewhere that that here. Just to go window shopping.
