Jukebox nearly finished - more photos

<< < (6/11) > >>

Zakk:
Just saw this!  I love the lighting effects!!  If you get around to it, a few closeups of the materials you are using to get the retro psycho-delic-phreak effects would be great!  This thing is killer.  Can a Mamey go to a jukebox???  ;D

I sat down to wire up the cp the other night thinking it was a five minute job, it took ages but came out well.


I used blue hook-up wire for the switches and mains cable for the 12v light circuit.  I relealised afterwards that a couple of pieces of cat 5 network cable would have been great for the switches as each segment has 8 different coloured wires in it.  Well at least I know for next time.

As I said before I had to take the switches out of the buttons to fit the artwork and as no-one commented on the font link above I took the plunge and went for the keep on trucking font (the fat/phat one)





The artwork is more black and white than it looks in these photos.

Matt, GoC:
That looks sweet, dude!  Now, when are you dropping it off at my place ;D  :P ?

Clonestar,
Have you had a chance to see if there are some of those lights around where your at that i can purchase? Who are the lights made by? Don't worry i am not going to copy your idea or anything, i have a jukebox in progress with a whole different look kinda of a art deco look. The lights (color organs) would fit in behind some transparent white plastic so you wouldn't even see the housings. I am also wondering how they are made because i thought of modifying them to do something else also.
Let Me Know!
Thanks,
Digital Dj

The lights don't have a makers name.  They are sold in the UK by the discovery store, but the nearest branch is about 8 miles away and as I have eleven (yes 11) children it sometimes takes a while to get around to these things.

I think they would be excellent behind opaque plastic for a sort of advanced Wurlitzer bubbler effect.  Inside the lights are basically one big pcb with all the leds mounted direct to the board.

I'll try and get on these ASAP, maybe today as the kids are at school and the wife is at college, although there are 17 pinball machines and a partially finished jukebox calling my name in the shed.
