1954 Seeburg
45 - RPM
Jukebox
Model "R"
100 Selections
SOLD!
Tanning in the sun of Palm Springs.
When Bill Haley’s “Rock
Around the Clock” hit the charts for the first time in April 1954,
this jukebox was just about ready to hit distributor’s showroom
floors for a whooping $1095 their cost. And Bill’s tune was sounding
pretty darn good coming from 5 speakers and a HI-FI amplifier. This
was the first time the “redhead” Pickering cartridge was
implemented.
We’re told by the former
owner, (a well known Hollywood voice over talent) that this particular
unit was originally reconditioned about 20 years ago. Of course,
we’ve rebuilt everything inside again. We’ve replaced the steel
casters with wide plastic ones that won’t mar most surfaces.
We’ve set this unit up with a
button for you to switch from using coins to “free play”. This
will save wear and tear on the latch bar solenoid while allowing you
to use it for a piggy bank if you like. The blue plastic mechanism
cover is in spectacular condition. Nice covers like this can bring
$400 on e-Bay.
Normally by now small parts and
screws are missing from a 54 year old juke, but not this baby. Even
the rippled, gold, anodized metal behind the record playing mechanism
is void of normal dents. The stainless steel record playing indicator
cover is flawless.
The chrome is in darn amazing
condition and so is the entire cabinet. This just might be the nicest
“R” to come along in a long time.
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."
