Bought a few jukes last year, but  my free time was spenmt looking for a house, then  starting up a Jukebox resotre/repair company, so  working on my own machines took a back seat. Well, found trhe house, decided it was time to show the family what we could do given a decent machine to work on, and I couldn't afford a band for the housewarming.  So pulled on one of my projects out, and launched a mad rush, less than 2 months to have a juke playing for the party. While it's not totally done,  (some selections pins aren't firing,  decals, coin return and paint for the front grill),  it looks and sounds great.

So did you work backwards? The date of the picture on the finished one is '04 and the unfinished pile of parts is dated '09... You should have left it alone... smile

Nice job.. makes me want to get back into my Q160...

Wow, I'm not much into jukes, but that one looks great!  Does it play records sideways, and how does it manage that, just a spring?

Tkaz, yes, the records play sideways, it's pulled onto the clutch, then depending what was selected the tone arm moves to the correct side of the record. I was planning on getting video for our webisite.

And thanks for the kind words, can't wait to get the next project started.
