Hi All, My other main interests are collecting and restoring vintage Jukeboxs from 1946 and 1962.  Also interested in vintage Japanese Motorbikes and old speedboats.  I am also building a home made American Diner in my back garden to house the Jukeboxs.  Am just starting my own Jukebox restoration business called at http://youmustbejukin.co.uk/

  Some nice looking jukes on your web site. I like the mini diner too. They bring back a ton of memories. I'm going down to Buffalo this weekend and will be passing the Wurlitzer plant. Its still in place wit the sign on top of the building, however, now its got a number of smaller business's in it.

Hi John thanks for your nice comments, My sister in law also lives in  Kingston Ontario, we made it as far as the falls but not into Buffalo tonawando, Must be a great sight to see the original factory. Wurlitzers are now produced in Germany, but nowhere the quality they used to be and are all copies of the originals. thanks for your interest cheers Chris

Actually I meant your craftsmanship in rebuilding the jukeboxes.

..... to think these were replaced by Ipods... make you want to cry.

Do you have one of those Jukeboxes with the bubbles in the glass tubes?

Always fascinated me - 'period' jukes and other automation - some lovely pieces in your collection.

Restoring jukeboxes was something I thought I wanted to do as a retirement job / hobby but after 30+ years in the supply and maintenance of current jukeboxes (as well as other gaming and amusement equipment) has made me have a re-think.....

Martin, if you want a juke with bubble tubes that plays CD's, let me know I've still got a few out on site that will be upgraded to digital in the near future.

There is quite a following of the whole "Rock n Roll" Scene here in Finland and the old Jukeboxes are very collectable.  Is it ok to pass on your website details to a couple of members of my car club? They are into that sort of thing and I know at least 2 of them have old jukeboxes and may be interested in your services/spares

Hi Martin, yes i do have the one with bubble tubes, it is a copy of the wurlitzer 1015 made by Rockola, pic on my web site, funny enough has i  pod docking station on it, but it is really a c d player

I was in North Tonawanda on the weekend visiting friends. Got some pics of the Wurlitzer plant as it is now.

Hi John, Such great pics of the Wurlitzer factory as it is now.  Conjours up all sorts of romatic images of how it would have been in its heyday in the 40's/50's.  There are some great films of the factory whilst in production on You Tube.


Regards.  Chris
