Anyone bought a Jukemaster 100?

I wasn't punching touchscreens in the fifties, I was punching wallbox buttons. And that's what I'm doing now with my Jukemaster!

That's the key to the whole thing! You could pay $200 for an Ipod Nano.

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?

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 bought one and it's amazing. An MP3 CD player in a wallbox with

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.

ture...some of those programs allow you to map keys so you could use a
vintage keypad if you so chose to do so....

For me, I like to keep it real....real vinyl etc

However, i really think the jukemaster is a cool little gizmo....the
price point just is a bit too high for me
