Kito -

Have made the long trek up there on a couple of occasions and he has some awesome bits
but not quite on the scale of your place round the corner. He was one of the first to jump on the jukebox
wagon. Very nice bloke.

Thanks for looking for me..And good luck with that juke of yours. Does it still have the original 78 mech or has it been replaced with a 45 player??

Dave

Dave,
I always keep my eyes open for stuff for you.
Has the original 78 unit (complete with the individual plates that the records lay on and then are pushed or slid from their slots onto the turntable). The second juke (disassembled) also as the 78 unit.

I was also happy to see that the complete one still has the coin mech in it since I heard that many have been removed as people changed them to free-play. Also has the back door which I have heard is often missing on these.

Lucky Man... There are sites that sell repro 78's too.
What sort of music are you going to put on there???
It crys out for early R & B... Big Joe, Ruth Brown screaming out.

Dave

I don't know. I will have to educate myself on what is available on 78's. I'm currently a little ignorant in that area.
I have only had jukes with 45's until now.

'Kito - Do you have a manual yet for your Trashcan's? If not I have a manual that isn't doing anything right now. It's one of the best manuals that I have purchased. It was wonderfully reproduced and has the full page fold outs and full schematics and troubleshooting sections as well as parts lists for the 146-147-148.

On the subject of old TV's....I tinker with just about anything old that either takes coins or has vacuum tubes! While in the Navy I had extensive experience with Sonar Display Groups (CRT). So, I have some knowledge of TV's. As long as the Picture Tube is good it should be repairable.

The selector mech on the Trashcan is really neat. The records sit on top of the round discs that sit in the record tray. once the selection has been made from the keyboard a small coil energizes and a numbered selector pin in the Master Selection Reciever pops up and the Selector Drum rotates around and stops at the pin that has been energized. Once it stops at the pin, the drum has little nubs on it that dissengages the coresponding record tray to allow it to slide over the turntable which in turn lifts up underneath the record tray and lifts the record and the disc into position underneath the tone arm to be played. it's a really cool set-up.

BrianB,
That would be GREAT! I don't have a manual because I never figured I'd happen upon a Trashcan juke until just yesterday when I did.  '>

I'd love to borrow it.
It would be very helpful.

I agree that the way that it selects and plays the records is very cool.

Thanks!

'Kito, Thanks for the link. I could spend hours in there looking and dreaming.
