My Dad built one of those a long time ago and I am sorry to say he painted it red and white and put a few sprite boy decals on it and sold it for much more than it was worth at the time  :biggrin:  I remember building it with him. At least at the time finding parts was impossible and we had a really hard time with the mech. Ours played 45's. Maybe it was a conversion. Those were the good ole days. I am happy to say that is the only juke he ever did that to.  :biggrin:

Great thought, Creighton!  I didn't even think of that!   Just not sure how the glass would fare in the drop!  And unfortunately, it wouldn't fit in the back of my T-1 aircraft or else I'd fly up there and get it!   :biggrin:

They are nice looking machines but it is very hard to find anyone who can fix them.  I have to AMI 120fs from 1954.  I still can not gat either one of them to work.  They were the first jukeboxes I bought.

Greg,
Just borrow a T-38 trainer and take the back seat out. That would be a picture to put next to Moondawgs T-Bird with a Cav-72 :-)
