Is this a personal project that you are trying to restore? My opinion is
that you will have only two options if you want to get this thing going.
Option one is to run an add in local Amityville papers looking for ANY
information about the company. I've done that before with some success.
Sometimes you will actually get a call from someone saying "my dad use to
work at that place and has a big box of old manuals and parts for those dumb
things". Then again you might not get anything. You could also list an
auction on Ebay for one cent offering pictures of the juke (so it's to
Ebay), but really asking if anyone has any info or parts for one. A LOT of
people search Ebay day!
The other option would be to convert it to a different system using video
files on a PC. The hardest part there would be interfacing the controls with
the PC. I've done it on some simple Jamma systems where you put a PC with a
zillion games into an old Pacman cabinet but I don't know how complex it
would be to wire the controls of your juke. If you were going to do it that
way you could use a program like WinCab jukebox and customize the controls
or use a touchscreen monitor to run it. There's a 99.9% chance that even if
you DO find original components they will be shot, and the 80's technology
parts needed to fix them won't be available. And if I'm right about them
being Laserdisc players instead of VCR's you are screwed anyway because you
won't be able to get the discs with the music and videos.
Other than those options I would dumpster it or put an HDTV in the cabinet
and make it a conversation piece for your rec room.

I think that I remember seeing some of those at an operators place in
South Bend, Indiana back in the late 80's. I wanna say that they had RCA
laser disc players in them and not VCR's, but I could be wrong. The place
is out of business now or I could have checked it out. I might be able to
find the guy's name and home number and give him a call, but don't hold
your breath.

More info...
there is also a
pal decoder board and the amp (solid state) was made in England. So, I
am
guessing that it was some sort of import that used a pal vcr deck.....

news
I friend of mine has delivered to me, a "video & Sound" jukebox
made
in Amity NY. This thing is over 6 foot tall, contains a 25 inch
rca
Television, coin door and a computer.
first off does anyone have any idea where I could find any
information about the company, or the system.
The jukebox is missing the playback VCR's and the speakers.
From the
plugs in the rear of the box, it appears that the VCR's used
some
sort of 25 pin control system, like I have never seen before.
I'll be posting pics asap

Nope... Not made in England.... Made in Amityville Long Island, NY
(the place where the "house" attacked those people)... The factory for
this thing was right down off of Sunrise Highway (Rt 27) and Route
110....
