Jukes of the Cd variety

I was thinking of getting a cd juke for a local youth center for them to
play their cds on so they quit fighting over the stereo

which (used) model/brand will hold up the abuse from teens

I am a seeburg fan myself with vinyl

you input appreciated

Quick answer to your question is none. A Rock-ola or Rowe upright can
be moved around, which can lead to damage and abuse. The strongest
cabnets made were the NSM Wallmounts. THeu were used as a gambling
machine in Germany and are too heavy for one person to lift off the
wall. This might be ideal. You could install a couple of ceiling
speakers, wallmounts don't have their own, that the kids couldn't get
to. This also allows to spread the sound through the room if you care
to. NSM circuit boards and amps are pretty reliable. Problems are with
the Phillips CD players, which all jukes except old Seeburg use, and
the title strip holders. Title pages MUST be installed correctly or
they will jam. Another advantage of a wall mount is that it doesn't
take up floor space and can be installed in odd spaces. Most important,
if you can't repair it yurself, buy a machine that you can get suport
for, hopefully locally.
