Hanging the mameroom jukebox

Hanging the mameroom jukebox anyone have any ideas on hanging this to the wall.

Depends on weight of the jukebox. I would definately make sure wall studs are used for anything over 6lbs vs. using just platic drywall anchors.

How 'bout some pics of the jukebox as well

If it is over 6 pounds use Lag Bolts in to Studs.  Make sure that is it studs if you arent sure try in dry wall only to get a feel for it, then try where you think the stud is and it should be much tougher to drill it in then it was.

I bought two L brackes that I bolted into the studs on my wall.  This was for the bottom of the jukebox to sit on.  Then for the top part, I put two latches on top of the jukebox.  This way the jukebox can come on and off the wall in literally 5 seconds.  I sit it on the L brackets and close the latches and turn them so it locks. I can send you a pic if you want to see.

For my jukebox, which isn't the mameroom wall juke but it is very similar, I used a french cleat.

French cleats are great! I hung a dartboard ( and cork surround) using that technique.

In fact, I believe I used 2 aluminum door thresholds as the cleats, Easy to screw on, very low profile, they "hook together" perfectly and they're metal!
