Anyone bought a Jukemaster 100?

I bought one and it's amazing. An MP3 CD player in a wallbox with pushbutton controls! They actualy packed a jukebox into a wallbox! If I had those things with coin acceptors back in the sixties, I'd be a trillionaire! I'm feeding mine ninto my stereo for REAL juke box sound. It even adds needle popping at the beginning of songs and mechanism noises between songs. My best Christmas present in forty years! Now all I have to do is find a 1931 Mills cabinet like I got for Christmas in 65, and use it for the subwoofer cabinet.

I saw these and thought they were very cool...but the price is a bit steep.

If he ain't, no need to embarrass him."

A new wallbox cost me $250 back in the early sixties and all it did was CONTROL a jukebox (never mind the cost of the stepper!). This thing has the jukebox IN the wallbox! I thought it was a genuine bargain at $250 on the web. If I accounted for inflation, those sixties wallboxes would be more than $2500 in today's dollars. That makes this thing a STEAL! And all I have to do is download my favorite music and burn a CD without having to search high and low for worn out old 45's....It also runs off nine volts, so with a car adaptor, I can hang it out the window on cruise nights.

I have one and love it too. There is one problem...the flip pages are a
little awkward. It is hard to get a hold of the last one on either
side. My solution was to put a small self adhesive peice of
weatherstrip foam on either side so that the strip holder doesn't lay
completly flat where it is hard to grab it.
Thanks, Steve

Good points....but the markup on that thing has to be massive....a
mp3/cd player can be had for around 50.00 so you are paying 200 for the
case....

I wonder why they went with an AMI looking wallbox instead of a 3w1 type?

Don't forget the pushbutton actuation interface for the CD/MP3 player. That's the key to the whole thing! You could pay $200 for an Ipod Nano.

I missed the link to their site - anybody have it - I'd like to look at this
thing.

yeah, but if you are going to do that...just get you an old touchscreen
game for a few bucks at an auction and load this on it....
