"Honey...can you bring me a beer!" :tounge: Title: Re: Car Hop Menu board Post by: MCarter on January 10, 2008, 07:16:36 pm I thought about hooking it up to the Jukebox. I like the idea of "Honey can you bring me a Beer" :biggrin:

Most of the outputs on a jukebox are a 24volt or 70volt system. Radio Shack used to carry these transformers (not sure if they still do). |
