I was asked by another member to post some pics of my Seeburg R. I'm doing a full restore on it. Basicly down to just waiting on the chrome to get back and some small things. Then its final assembly!! Note the stupid j model grille conversion will be returned back to the correct  .Here is a link to the photo album.   http://s373.photobucket.com/albums/oo174/countdownpin/Seeburg%20R/

Great job  Johnny. 

Are you getting every re chromed?  That is a lot of work.  Can you let me know how much that costs you?  Thanks for the pictures.  I enjoy jukeboxes almost as much as soda machines.

That is going to turn out great.  Did you restore the mech yourself or send it out?

Everything that was chrome is getting rechromed. The anodized aluminum dome frame and title strip holder I stripped and polished. Thought about having them chromed but I'm so afraid if the chrome chipping when bolted together. The price of chrome was ridiculous. He first quoted $1800 that's not including the waterfalls as I bought them new from Victory Glass. I did get him down to $1200. They mostly do show car concours quality chrome and i agreed that if there was a minute flaw in a low/no visibility area that would be OK for the price break. If anyone has any recent jukebox chroming done please post price/quality.
  
 Marvin, I did the mech myself but can't take the credit. It was simply cleaned and relubed. This whole box was actualy a diamond in the rough. Even the amp and reciever have their original finishes.

Johnny
  I always use Victor at Courtesy Plating. I'd rate his work an 8+ out of 10. I've used lots of Platers and Polishers in NJ,PA,TN,TX, and IL. I'd give them the best value for the money overall. But, I must say, Platers now go by some kind of book value with certain jobs like bumpers. So alot of thier prices come closer on that kind of stuff.
