Title: Seeburg SHP2 "resto-mod" idea. Thoughts? Post by: Creighton on January 10, 2011, 11:12:45 pm Well, having some difficulties getting this unit to function. At the end of much effort it will still just be a 70's 45 rpm jukebox.
However if one pulled the guts and fitted a flat screen PC monitor to where the top glass panel is, then put a couple of servers where the record mech is one could have a pretty cool uTube/DVD sound and video device. Keyboard/mouse would tuck under the selection lid. Anybody tried it? Thanks!! Creighton Title: Re: Seeburg SHP2 "resto-mod" idea. Thoughts? Post by: Kilroy on January 11, 2011, 07:14:41 am I sold a 40's 78 jukebox to a guy, he sent me pictures after installing a CD player inside. I cried.
There's a guy in Gorgia i think, has done some heavy remodding. I'll look for the name when I get home tonight. It's very doable, Title: Re: Seeburg SHP2 "resto-mod" idea. Thoughts? Post by: bcharlton on January 11, 2011, 01:22:03 pm I am new to restoring Bowlers but I have done quite a few Seeburgs. Bail on the 70s juke (they are ugly) and find a cheap Seeburg 100. I own 5 of them and due to the crummy economy, I have been buying them cheap.
let me know if you need any help. Title: Re: Seeburg SHP2 "resto-mod" idea. Thoughts? Post by: loman4ec on January 11, 2011, 08:14:59 pm I have thought about doing ,p3 players out of jukes before. I think it would be a great idea. I would like to do it to a seeburg trashcan someday.

I own a chopped and channeled 1931 Oldsmobile (very modified from the original) and you should see some of the dirty looks I get from the automotive "purists" out there. Have fun with it. BC |
