Title: Nothing Wrong With Buying Yourself A Christmas Present
Post by: mygoose101 on December 19, 2015, 06:00:43 pm
Very fortunate to have had a good year in my job and side hobbies, so I don't feel too bad for rewarding myself with a little Christmas present.

Found this on Craigslist just 30 miles from me. I kept on waiting for someone to buy it so I wouldn't. Went and saw it a couple of weeks ago after it was listed for 2 weeks. I made a mental note if it was there this weekend I was pulling the trigger.

I bought it for a very fair price. I feel my deal got better when I got it home and spent a hour or so cleaning it so now it really pops. It's a much nicer box then I thought. I'm no expert in jukeboxes, I follow them enough to know what I like and a little bit on their values. Was fully restored back in 2005 but honestly it looks like it could have been yesterday, very, very nice.

As much as I love Coke Machines there has always been something about jukeboxes that I feel just really have that cool factor.

This is the Seeburg M100C and also known as the "Happy Days" model being it was the one in the show Happy Days where Fonzie would hit it and it would magically play :biggrin:

My favorite box!

That is the opening credits juke. The one in Arnolds that he hit was a different machine. I still prefer that one.

Did you know if you read while you scroll, you see things differently? I thought, "He treated himself to a nice clock". Boy, was I DUMB! Very nice Seeburg. Yes, you deserve it. BTW, I was wondering why that clock was on CL for 2 weeks! LOL.

Great Juke, and I too thought you where talking about the clock at first.

A classic 50's Juke in the Collection is a must in my book too... Very nice


but yes as others have said, the Seeburg G was the Happy Days Juke.. just so you know...

Thanks for all the compliments on the jukebox. It was explained to me that they used the C, the one I have in the opening and the G was the one in Arnolds. So I guess they would say both are Happy Days model as a selling point I'm sure.

The Happy Days Model is known as the C from the Opening Credits.  The record playing is "Happy Days", by "Pratt & McClain.  The other side B is Crusin with the Fonz.
