Seeburg
45 - RPM Jukebox
Model "201" DH 200
200 Selections
SOLD!
No need to sleep in New York, New York.
The "201"
has been one of my personal favorites since I got into jukeboxes back
in '71. It has the clean, sharp lines reflective of the times
and the cars. Think of a '57 Chevy or even Cadillac Eldorado and
their tail fins. They're all Classics with "CLASS".
This was the
second year of dramatic styling changes for Seeburg following the
"L" and its big brother the "K" (KD). It was
the fourth of only five 200 selection Seeburg models ever made.
Those being the SICM of 1948, V200
of 1955, VL200 of 1956, KD200 of 1957, "201" of 1958 and the
VMC of 1981. Ironic since Seeburg was the first with a 200
selection mechanism.
Although the
"201" had the same amplifier power as its 45 rpm
predecessors, I preferred it to them and it was unique to the
"201". The "201" even had the same speaker
configuration as them and the same great sound.
Interestingly
enough Seeburg dropped the printed circuit boards in the power supply
and amplifier that they had just introduced the year before and went
back to the hard wired type.
But the coolest
thing they carried over from the KD was the finned tail lights in the
grill. This makes the "201" about the niftiest juke a
car lover/collector could have in his garage or "Man-Cave".
We just acquired
this one from a $40 million home in Bel Aire that had just been
sold. It was reconditioned locally and freshly chromed.
I'd say it's relatively spectacular and I'm thinking of adding it to
my own collection.
I
believe we've
only had about 5 or 6 of these beauties over the years.
When they were introduced
in January of 1958, they sold to jukebox operators for a pricey
$1350.
Consider this: you could
buy a brand new car for $600-$700 more.
So when factoring in
inflation, we've
kept the price right in line by adding a zero.
Think of what a '58
Eldorado would be worth today.
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."
