1950
Seeburg
45 - RPM
Jukebox
Model "B"
100 Selections
SOLD!
Playing hits for a Mobile D.J. in Malibu, CA.
The "B"
was introduced in Oct of 1950 for the 1951 year. It was a
transitional juke between the "A" and the
"C". The "A" was the last 78 - RPM jukebox
Seeburg made and the "B" was the world's first 45 - RPM
jukebox.
Seeburg took
essentially the same amplifier, Pickering cartridge and 15 - inch
speaker of the "A" and put it in a nearly identical cabinet,
just not as wide. That was the point … size. Seeburg was
the first with 100 selections in the "A" but strived for
more tunes without increasing the size of the jukebox cabinet.
Earlier talks
between Seeburg and RCA engineers lead to the creation of the new,
smaller, faster 45 - RPM disc introduced in 1949. Thus with the
smaller disc the wide "A" cabinet was shrunk down
considerably while still accommodating the same number of (50)
discs. Eventually Seeburg introduced 200 selections in 1955 with
the V-200.
The "B"
was nearly as good sounding as the "A" and continued
Seeburg's domination of the marketplace, through innovation, all the
way through the '50s.
This unit was
probably originally reconditioned about 15 or 20 years ago and done
with a Southwestern motif. We chose not to strip down the
painted cabinet even though it has some areas where the paint shows
seams in the wood beneath.
Other than
the freedom used on the cabinet the "workings" are all
original. Lots of things are chromed nicely. We've reconditioned
everything operational and it works and sounds great. If you
look out your backyard window and see cactus or want to add some music
and color to a room, this is the juke for you.
We ship worldwide and to insure
proper care we crate the jukeboxes ourselves. Call us with your
shipping address and we'll get you a competitive shipping/insurance
quote (prices vary according to value and destination), unless you'd
like to pick it up or have us deliver it in the Southern California
area.
Our experience in servicing jukeboxes bought elsewhere through the
Internet is that many sustain some kind of damage in transport. When
you buy a jukebox from us we make sure the components inside are
properly secured. In some cases we can send you detailed photos and
instructions on how to unpack the unit and get it up and running.
"We only sell quality
reconditioned jukeboxes that we'll be happy to service in the future.
This we've done since 1971."
