UncleT's Jukebox Cabinet: FINALLY DONE!
unclet:
This video jukebox is capable of playing audio and/or video files. The user interfaces with the jukebox application using a touchscreen monitor and can view the videos being played on the secondary monitor mounted above. The jukebox comes complete with lyrics for all songs as well as LED lights which dance to the music. The jukebox has the ability to broadcast music over a chosen FM frequency so the music can be listened to via a standard radio which allows for listening while outside. The jukebox can be manipulated using a remote control which works at distances of greater than 60 feet and also works through walls. Again, this is perfect for outside listening.
I posted a bunch of pictures at my arcade website. Just click on the jukebox picture, then scroll to the bottom and click the Photos link:

Also, my jukebox uses my own jukebox software which you can find here:

Just wanted to mention that in early 2003 I started designing/coding my jukebox software in preparation of having a jukebox cabinet one day. Well, it took me a long time to get the jukebox software how I wanted it and when I was done coding it I was just to tired to spend any time on building an actual jukebox cabinet. I was burnt out with all the effort I put into the software. Anyway, early last year I got a second wind and my wife approved the construction project :applaud: I first updated the software again to have dual monitor support and a bunch of other stuff I learned I wanted in the year or so I was using the software. Once the software was finished again, I still had enough steam left to start building the cabinet. I started in the beginning of October 2007 and finally finished it 4-1/2 months later ..... I am now going to take a break and enjoy my cabinet. I still find it hard to imagine that I finally have a jukebox cabinet sitting in my house using my own software ..... it has been a really long time.
I would like to thank MameMarquees for printing my bezel artwork .... it really looks great!

Here is a video of the jukebox with the lights down so you can see the dancing lights:

Very nice! Strange location to put it though. :laugh2:

Ahh ... this was just so I could get the video. The video is kind of dark so you can see the lights nicely. To see the bright color of the jukebox, just go to my site and see the pictures.
