Sweet jukebox. Now you need to get some wallboxes hooked up to it!

Wow!!!!!

I've got a J that I did a partial restore on (cosmetic mainly) a few years ago.

Wouldn't hold a light to yours. Got 3 3W1's running off it though. Keeps the kids happy.

Nice!!  I love jukeboxes, I have one of those on the list to pick-up someday.  So many toys, so little time.  Cool jukebox.  :cool:

Terry,

Looks good!
What is on the sides of the box?
It looks like some sort of fleck tone paint...
Are the "waterfalls" metal pieces mounted on the front speaker grill re-chromed...?

Hello Jim,
  The cabinet was painted with Zelotone paint, it is black with grey and white splatter in it. Zelotone is avail. at automotive paint retailers in several different colors. It was used in the trunk areas of cars back in the 70's. The black (base) is waterbase paint and the grey and white are enamal so they do not mix together with the black. This gives the paint a splatter effect. I sold this jukebox to our secretary at work, she wanted a 50's retro look so thats why we went with this paint instead the original white paint and burl wood finish. The waterfalls were badly pitted. A new set runs 500.00 bucks. I painted them with silver hammertone and let her decide if she wanted paint or chrome, she loved the hammertone look and price reduction. ???

Here's a picture of a couple of jukeboxes that I restored for my collection. The one on the left is a seeburg C and the one on the right is a Rockola.
