Beautiful machine and yes they are machines with electro-mechanical moving part logic as opposed to later solid state operational sequencing. Most were very well built and fool proof because they were built to make money-money makers for the jukebox owner and the place of business where they were installed. They were made to NOT break down. The Industrial strength insides consists of tube amplifiers, motors, relays, and limit switches, etc. It all adds to their charm as they sequence from a coin drop to pushing a selector button to grabbing a record, placing it on a platen, playing it and then returning it to it's own little 'holster' How cool is that! Think about the minds that went into designing one of these for the very first time with no other ones to copy.
@@colleenflattery4755 It was in an old fashioned pizza restaurant! I don't remember the name sadly 😔 I stopped with a group of friends after selling door to door! It was somewhere in Fresno I believe
i grew up on cafes and restaurants in the 50s where my dad owned....all of them had the juke box....and the top songs of the days....he would match the kids to see who would plug the juke.....usuallly with a quarter, which would pay 5 songs.....dad would paint his quarter with red fingernail polish...when the jukebox man can to change the coins, usually once a week....he wold return the red quaters to dad....needless to say, we listened to a lot of songs in those days...dad would usually allow the teenagers to dance, if the place was not too crowded on certain nights or days.....it was a wonderful time....also as a bouns, we could buy the 45s that were being changes for almost nothing, and we had a lot of 45s at home
Yo tenía 7 años y está era la Rockola que había en el negocio de mí padre y era Justo éste Modelo de Wurlitzer,,de 45 Revolución y tocaba Introduciendo 5 centavos y eran Recuerdos Maravilloso,, Poder verla por ésta Publicación,, Gracias,, muchas gracias por mostrar tantos Inolvidables Recuerdos... Estoy Fascinado,, tanto que no lo puedo creer,,😘💐💕😅🇵🇷
Mi padre en la década del 70 tenía una wurlirzer 1900 y por un sobre voltaje, se quemó el amplificador y se arruinó. Después adquirió la wurlirzer 1800 y la conservó hasta cuando vendió el negocio y los que compraron dicho negocio tenían una rokola más moderna y lamentablemente, desmantelaron la hermosa 1800. Siempre he creído que el modelo más bonito que sacó la wurlirzer fue la 1800. Esta historia es de Colombia.
Nombreux sont les souvenirs revenant à la surface , que de pièces introduites dans le monnayeur de ces fameux Jukebox , rien que pour le plaisir de se faire du bien en musique . Thank You govenortechnician .
Your video was great, thanks a lot. W2000 is really beautiful, I don't have one in my collection yet. I do have a 2150 though. Congrats from a SEEBURG man! :)
Oh my goodness it's soooooooooo BEAUTIFUL! 😍😍😍 it sounds deliciously rich, Clydes voice was so PERFECT! your home looks like a step back in time to the late 1950's so homely and cosy, as a matter of interest how many banks would I have to rob to afford a pristine baby like yours???
its been so long since i was a child around 1970 . i definitely remember how we would walk to the diner or donut shop and would drop our spare change in, push the correct vertical buttons to listen to a song or two . but i can't remember the vertical turntable. that must need extra physics knowledge and mechanical stuff inside, complex and so cool ! maybe the ones we used the turntable was hidden ?
By 1970, most of the 1950's (with visible record player) were out of service and were replaced with the newer 1960's stereo console type jukeboxes. A few of the 50's boxes could still be found in service in the 1970's, but they were fazed out quickly.
@@3713msg Too bad because the visible sequencing motions and clicking sounds added to their charm as well as seeing the record play. It's like they were showing their own little jukebox soul. Gone from a by gone very important era and worth restoring and maintaning.
@@09lifehack now in the 21st century everyone is listening to music and watching videos on their smartphones. after they are done, they have to play it again and again to listen. the smartphone has killed the human computer between our ears memory and storage

WOW!! VERY nice!!! I could move right in. I like your taste in decor and Juke Boxes - isn't the 2000 their anniversary machine? And the wall mount extension is FANTASTIC!!! thank you for sharing. I'd love to see the "purpose built" room you moved it too :) Keep up the good work!
thats a beautiful jukebox , you seem to like everything american, are you in the uk ? recognise the light switches and corona was available here in scotland when i was young
Back in the early 80's Jack Daniels had one of these in a store warehouse and like an idiot I didn't take it because I was looking for a 1900. I was a teenager. What did I know? They sounds wonderful! Who rebuilt your amp?
If i was your friend, I would play a trick on you. I'd bring over a table version of Galaga or Missile Command (from the 1980's) one night and put it among all that awesome older decor. Then I would wait until you walked in and saw how it messed up your layout. That would be funny! lolol
Dear Sir: I am writing from the TV production company, Indalo y Media. We are in Seville (Spain). I wanted to ask permission to broadcast 10 seconds of images from the Jukebox, on the TV show "La Tarde Aquí y Ahora", on Canal Sur TV, today March 11, 2020. Regards, Thank you very much.
Hey govnortechnician - We are super excited to get ourselves a nice 45 rpm juke - where do you get these things? Do you have a couple you'd like to maybe part with?
Hello, We are the band "Nova Blue" from Germany and would like to use an excerpt of approx. 10-15 seconds from the Wurlitzer Jukebox video for our next music video. Do you give us permission?
Hello! I am doing videos about Route 66 and was curious if you would mind me using a part of your video in one of them. I would naturally give you the credit for the clip. Thanks for your time and I look forward to hearing from you - Dennis
Hi govenortechnician, Great work sir. I would like to use a couple seconds of your video on a track that I'm putting together. Please contact me. Thank you.
was this machine playing 78's or 45's..??....as the record playing looked more like a 10" 78...rather than 7" 45....but the speed it is turning looks too slow for 78rpm....Strange...!!! ~ but its a frigging good record...not heard that one before..!!! :)
They're kind of like some women I guess... ~5 feet tall, 3 feet wide, ~350lbs, can be loud, will take money, and, when they want to be finicky, they'll have you pulling your hair out.
+Calvin Patterson - our school system! LOL. If it gets below zero and into the negatives they call school off because the water freezes in the pipes before it can reach all the way to the ends of the building. There was an old house for sale here a few years ago that I looked at and I mentioned to the realtor they were interesting but would have to go. "Oh no sir! The house is still heated by steam!" You're kidding me? "No sir! There's a brand new boiler installed and it's been converted from coal to gas." It would cost a FORTUNE to heat that place!
lirarn22 - Some people in America still do. But in America this is a very expensive and poor way to heat a home. Especially an old home without a lot of insulation because it is radiant heat and no moving air to circulate the heat. I had a central radiant heat source about 30 years ago. All the heat rises to the ceiling. You'd sit down and nearly freeze and stand up and nearly pass out. When I got a central heating system with moving air it cut my gas bill more than in half and the entire house is warm consistently. There are no cold spots. In school if you sat next to the radiators you were peeling clothes off and yanking windows open. If you sat on the other side of the room you nearly froze to death.
Wow... a remote control for the unit. I didn't even think such a thing could exist. Can you believe regular people, customers, could select the music of the places they had gone to... it's too democratic! Let's cancel that and make a subscription only private service, mind you still with ready served ads. Result: nothing like this exists in the modern day era, not in cafes, bars, restaurants... nowhere. Clearly at some point in time something must have gone terribly wrong...
