I spent waaay to much time flagging posts on the Detroit Craiglst. Oh, and scored my buy of the week, maybe of the year - a 1948 Seeburg 148, aka "A Trashcan"  90% restored, I think I'll have it playing this weekend. Missing the coin mech, I hope it will easier to find than a LD coin mech. The seller's father purchused it from a a bar in Detroit, I wish i knew what one, maybe then we'd know the sotry of the bullet hole in the side...  Not a 1015 or a RC 81, but for the condition it was in and the asking price, i contacted the seller in 10 minutes after it was posted, at his house within 20 minutes with cash. |

Are you missing the whole mech or just the rejector?
I can probably assemble you a rejector if you have a pic of one.

This is the first and only 78 player, I've posted pics of the restoration of the Seeburg HF100G, waiting in the wings is a Wurlitzer 1400, and a Wurlitzer 1015 OMT. I've had but sold a Rockola 1436, 1422 and 1428. Vinyl on a turntable, my second passion, next to a round top soda machine.
Picking up the 1015, and a Vendo 56 was a blast, ran into an ice storm in Indiana, followed us home, the entre trip took almost 22 hrs. I mention this because I bought them from Rod, who now runs Funtronics. Didn't get to meet Rod personally, he was out of town that Saturday, but his son showed us some of the projects he was working on and machines completed , I was drooling and awed. When I heard he bought Funtronics, I knew it would be in great hands.

Nice looking juke. I'm not much in to the Trashcans, but I do like this one.

I prefer the visibles, one day I'll have a 1015, and I was thinking of changing the gears on the wurly 1400 back to play 78's, but with new plastics, all the chrome replated, the amp rebuilt for $400, I couldn't pass this one up.
