1956 Seeburg
45 - RPM Jukebox
Model "J"
100 Selections
SOLD!
Bumping tunes for former KIIS-FM Music Director in Los Angeles, CA.
Yep!
You guessed it, this is the
actual jukebox used on the cover of Bruno Mars' 2013
album and used in his videos.
In September of
2012 we got a call from a Hollywood production company to rent a '50s
model jukebox for some kind of shoot. We had no idea what it was
going to be used for. We filled it with shop 45s and title
strips.
Initially I
delivered this exact jukebox on 9-25-12 to a palatial residence in
Beverly Hills. The next day I brought it back to our San
Fernando Valley shop.
A few weeks later
my son, a Los Angles FM radio personality, told me he was seeing a
photo going around of an album cover for Bruno Mars to be released
December 11th 2012. He asked me if this was one of
ours. I told him it might be.
A day or so later
I was sent an email from the producer with a photo attached showing
our jukebox and a gorilla on a album cover. And then later on
the record label inquired about purchasing it as a gift for Bruno, but
that never took place.
Then in October of
2012 we got another call from the same producer telling us they needed
the same jukebox again. They asked us to make special title
strips with only Bruno's tunes on them from the "UNORTHODOX
JUKEBOX" album.
This time I
delivered the jukebox to a small studio in an industrial building in
North Hollywood. As I was explaining to the crew how the juke
worked, I saw a man get out of a small older car, walk around and open
the trunk. Then he pulled out a gorilla outfit and came into the
studio. It was funny.
When we got the
juke back this second time, they had taken a couple of the records we
had filled the machine with and applied computer generated Atlantic
records labels on them. The non-existent labels featured tunes
from the album. We will include those one of a kind "prop"
records with the sale.
Before becoming a
worldwide celebrity via Bruno Mars prominent placement of its picture
on album covers, tee shirts and posters, we had reconditioned this
1956 Seeburg Model 100JL with the intention of using it for party
rentals.
We only used it a
few times before rolling it to the back of our storage area.
It's been there covered for years waiting for its 15 minutes of fame.
Now you can get in
on the same fifteen minutes of fame for many years to come in the form
of a great jukebox with a "cool" history. There can be only
one Bruno Mars UNORTHODOX JUKEBOX in the world and this is it!
Besides that fame,
these are great jukeboxes. We use this model for party rentals because
of its rugged cabinet, great sound, dependability and classy '50s
styling.
So be the first on
your block or the entire world for that matter to own the jukebox now
recognized the world over as THE Bruno Mars UNORTHODOX JUKEBOX.
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."
