Maybe You Can Go Too Far With a Project?
« on: March 31, 2015, 04:18:01 pm »
I've had two jukebox wall boxes connected to my vintage-hi-fi via an adapter and an iPod for a few years. Vintage wall boxes are only designed to play the number of records in the carousel of a parent jukebox or a "hideaway." This will never be more than 200 and in the case of this model 160. It won't play any more than that number regardless of the number of mp3s on the iPod. Swopping the adapter and the iPods over using a second wall box, I increased the selections to 320, (no duff "B sides" with this system).

I've since taken it further and acquired another title card magazine from a damaged wall box. This model is unique as the title card magazines can be easily removed to facilitate the changing of title cards. With a third iPod my options increase to 480.

My wife thinks I'm mad, as I've a memory stick in the TV with a few thousand mp3s on it.
But she really understands that there's no "nostalgia element" with a memory stick.

I don't mind if you don't like my manners.
I don't like them myself, they're pretty bad!
I grieve over them on long winter evenings.

Hi Bob,

Keep taking the tablets and you will be fine.

I have had customers who have anything from a few full sized jukeboxes to one grand chap who had 29 in a very large conservatory who had the hits of the year that the jukebox was manufactured, he used to have open days with any money raised going to local charities.

Regards
Alan

Do you sketchup?  Have you considered a touchscreen inspired reproduction?  That has an awesome shape.  I already have a ridiculous project list, but if one of those machines followed me home, I wouldn't mind.
