So impressive.  Thanks for keeping us informed and for the pictures.  I'm looking forward to a video when it's up and running.

Working my LED Volume Knob and programming it to work with windows. I just need to install it on the jukebox. The Volume knob was created on a 3D Printer. I am busy with work so next week i may have the knob install.  No Rush!  still a slow project. I need to find a FLAC volume normalizer so my songs will be a the same level when playing. I am open for ideas!

That 3d printed grill is slick!

Like the look of the cabinet too.

I refinished an old radio cabinet and turned it into a touch juke some time ago. Then I picked up a couple of Google Homes and now the thing just collects dust <sigh>

The LED Volume knob install and working now. I need to find time to work on the lighting for the Top Animated CD Display. The plexiglass has been installed. I am working on some ideas on how to line the inside walls with Chrome vinyl and then LED lighting

Wow that's awesome. Any chance you'd be willing to share the 3D printer files you used? I've been looking into making a digital jukebox and have access to a 3D printer. The grill looks incredible.

Sorry!  I do not have CAD files!   I did this in my head and drawing out pieces on paper as I went along with it.
