OOOOOOOOOHHHH! You just called him OUT!

shardian · « **Reply #3 on:** January 24, 2007, 03:55:08 pm »

If you want to sell your stuff, then just be honest and say "Hey, I am selling these plans. Anyone interested?" Believe it or not, that does work here.

Oh that's good stuff. Nice call Chris!

Looks like a spammer.

look at his post history. These jukeboxes and buying them on eBay are all he talks about.

Now to make things right, how about a free set of YOUR plans.

Circo · « **Reply #9 on:** January 24, 2007, 04:50:45 pm »

Like that guy will even see these posts, bet it's a hit and run. Just for that I AM NOT buying your plans.

I took a peek just to see, how in the hell would you build that thing from scratch?

Thanks for your business!

Ok .Hands up I got caught !!!
.well i tried.
I am selling them on eBay, i will post some pics of the build on here if you want, how do i add photos ?

tteettuk · « **Reply #12 on:** January 24, 2007, 06:37:43 pm »

hi all sorry about the spamming !! well i tried !
I made the first jukebox a few years ago and sold it on eBay and this bloke from London bid up to £5200 on it ! I was expecting nothing like that price, He could of bought an original one for a lot less !
So I made another one and sold that on ebay for a lot less.
In my spare time i have made around 8 different Ami jukeboxes, I decided to write the book because i was sick of living in my workshop in my spare time.
So the last one I made which Im going to eBay next week, I took over 500+ photo's of the complete build, and edited them into a manual/step by step guide.
I will post some photos of the build on here if anybody wants a look, and it is easier than it looks, and most of the materials i bought from my local B & Q, except the dome and the mural...sorry again ! how do you put photos on here ?

shardian · « **Reply #13 on:** January 24, 2007, 06:52:55 pm »

it is really detailed, its not that hard if you take each part at a time,the part 2 tells you how in step by step instructions and 180 photos , how to remove the mech and do all the lighting and transfer the mech and finish the mech covers etc and it includes 3 workshop manuals of Rowe Ami r82-r83-r84 manuals , tell me what you think ?

tteettuk · « **Reply #31 on:** January 24, 2007, 07:51:06 pm »

spacies have you finished dowmloading ?

spacies · « **Reply #32 on:** January 24, 2007, 07:53:44 pm »

No,

17mins to go.

I am sure if you changed the password it wouldn't affect a download in transit.

SLOW SLOW SLOW

When I saw this, my first thought was that looks like something off of "Lost In Space" (the tv series). Maybe even "Robbie the robot" as a jukebox or some.

tteettuk · « **Reply #36 on:** January 24, 2007, 08:08:25 pm »

The replica jukebox is a copy of the 1962 Ami Continental jukebox, it has great styling, a bit Jetsons looking, of all the jukeboxes made its my fave, looks modern and totally unique, i made the replicas because i could not afford the real thing then , but have since bought a real one which i have in my Kitchen/diner and is a real thing of beauty.
The replicas are a little bit smaller, because the original is a right beast and in a normal home can look a bit large !

Zakk · « **Reply #37 on:** January 24, 2007, 08:13:24 pm »

Where would you get that bubble?

tteettuk · « **Reply #38 on:** January 24, 2007, 08:16:52 pm »

Hi i sell the murals the red/orange light diffuser on the front and the domes , but everything else is from B&Q / Depot.
I had the domes made up at a local plastic moulders, and the murals i get from a jukebox shop

skippy · « **Reply #39 on:** January 24, 2007, 08:55:38 pm »

Approx how much would a set of the murals and dome run? I've lusted after one of these for years but they have always been out of reach. What did you use for internals?

The murals are £25 and the domes are £99.00, for the insides you can use any Rowe Ami jukebox from the R82 model upwards, 1980s jukeboxes onwards. Vinyl but i think the Rowe Ami cd ones would work as well.
I have also used rowe ami hideaway jukeboxes.
I was going to fit a mp3 player in one as well as the vinyl mech, i found a place in USA where you just connect this interface box to your CCC and you can select tracks from your mp3 player.

Very impressive. That is a very unique project, and it looks like you invested quite a bit of work. Good luck on selling your plans. Next time, be honest up front dude. Hate to break it to ya, but you would have probably sold quite a few sets if you would have been straight about it. Welcome to the boards.

tteettuk · « **Reply #48 on:** January 25, 2007, 01:09:30 pm »

Hi thanks a lot, yes it took me forever to photograph the build and edit it, I also opened a Yahoo groups site for people building them, to ask questions or post any photos etc or just add there own tips or chat.
I sold quite a few of the Ebooks on disc and even had Mark Evans the bloke from Build a MG car fame asking for a disc to have a look at !
I was going to build a website to show more of the ebook on but not got round to it yet.

Cool looking product! I must admit I began reading this thread to watch a spammer get crucified. I'm glad, yet sad, it didn't turn out that way.

To resurrect a long dormant thread,

If someone wants to build one of these , I have all the internals from a Rowe R-86 that are very clean and working correctly. Also comes with a full set of plans. This is one I built , just changing over to a cd machine

$250 in Phoenix

Thanks Gregg

Delivery to London, Ontario, for $50?
