My New Jukebox
JLR2000:
Great job BobA!
I love the bartops......
Still deciding how/what to build for my jukebox. I think I want a floor size juke, but I have to build a bartop, maybe like your vertical....
I have a few extra 15" monitors laying around and a Dell PII233 not being used, sounds like a good start for a "classics only" bartop....
Thanks for sharing your work/ideas....
BobA:
Thanks JLR2000
I like the small ones because of a space problem. They are the perfect solution to make use of those old PCs that are gathering dust. A small vertical plays classics very well and is one of the few setups where a keyboard hack is ideal.
I find that the larger jukeboxes leave me short of ideas on how to make them look like the works of art that real jukeboxes really are. I would love a Wurlitzer looking unit but light ropes don't really do it for me and replacement style bubble tubes are way beyond what I would ever spend.
Good luck on your projects.
BobA :D

Ha! That's exactly the problem I'm having! As much as I want a full size, I don't want it to look like an arcade cabinet, or a big box with a monitor. I may go with a bartop/wall unit with output to large speakers. Another reason I don't want to go small with the jukebox is that I want Big sound, I have a couple of big speakers that I can use for the projet. I know, you can get big sound from small speakers....but that usually = $$$$. I like to keep the project at a reasonable budget, using things that I have left over whenever possible. (Helps me to justify why I don't throw anything out to my wife!). ::)

My fault for the poor pictures. The screen is shown painted in the construction picture before I put on the bezel and lexan. It is only painted so that the edge does not show. In reality in the completed picture it is completely hidden. It is hard to see because the black all blends together. Maybe I need some graphics on the bezel or something.
Here is a closeup of the bezel and lexan. Have to dirty the lexan so you can see it.
Thanks
BobA
Edit: I give up you still cannot see the lexan I guess that is how it is supposed to be.
