I present my new commercial jukebox built entirely by me, running with AlbumPlayer.
Please write a review. Assembly is still not finished, but I will post pictures of each step.
Hope you enjoy.

Anyone, any suggestions, criticism... you like,do not like,
I will post pictures with the advance assembly.
-
When you say commercial, do you mean commercial style? Or do you mean you're putting it on location?
-
Posts with bugger all but a link generally don't get much attention...
Post whatever in here
-
I was under the impression the newer commercial touchtunes were unhackable, Although I haven't had time to look into this, Id be curious to know what drives this... Nice workmanship Btw, If nothing else that should be commended. Jennifer would venture a guess here, you built the cab to fit the plastics ??
-
Commercial - putting it on caffee-shop.
Sorry for my poor English.I did not understand what he meant amendonz with "bugger",i am not hacking touchtunes.
I built the plastics to fit the cab.
Sorry we did not manage to capture the attention, if nothing is interesting I probably will not post anything.
-
I'm interested I just want to see everything in this thread and not just a link.
-
Oh wait.... Im interested, I love jukes and have many, Jennifer would love to hear EVERYTHING. :)
-
I will follow amendonz and jennifer advice and I will present each construction stages of this jukebox(However, it seems that only were interested in the project).
First step was to design (was done in Corel Draw),did not to post any photos with it.
Was then executed CNC laser cutting.
-
and another
-
I continued with assembly parts.
-
After a week of work I got here.
-
Then I started building the speaker.This is the project and you have some photos of the speakers to their final stage.I did not very high power, I felt these full range speakers with 40w, enough for these enclosures.
-
then chosen cabinet color then I switched to grinding, staining and varnishing in 4 layers, and will apply another 2 at the end.
-
Then came the plastics did not come out as I wanted (maybe the next one will be better).
I mounted a protective metal mesh painted black.
-
I then installed the LED programmable bands, have some photo with the lights
followed mounting coin acceptor.
Tomorrow I will post new photos, we are them climb on the link in the first post, but I'll post photos here.
-
That is turning out quite nice, I am a little suprised that there are no 12in bass speakers, Possibly upgrade the amp?... Somthing that hot should melt the fur off a cat.
-
I will continue adding some photos of the cabinet, and the little amplifier 2x25W speakers that frankly are not satisfied at all.
I tested same speaker my vintage Denon amplifier and I can say I was very surprised by what I heard, all sounded really good.
-
some photos of the cabinet finish, applying the decal art, and central LED system and control unit system.
-
and more
-
I mounted start button and cancel credit button.
All components are connected.
-
new photos with my work.
-
and more...
post your opinions :angry:...

Thanks to everyone who watched my topic, I hope you have liked what you saw.
Thanks again to those who made comments and expect further your views.
I hope to have the opportunity to build another one and I hope that to be more well executed.

A new project, a bartop jukebox, I hope you enjoy, it is not my idea (I was inspired by this forum and thank to those who first launched this project) I just made some design changes.
Hope you enjoy and look your opinions good or bad about my work.
I posted on this topic not to open a new one, I hope I did well.
And now the pictures:

New Year ... new project.
In January I will post all phases of construction of two new jukeboxes .
They force be more complex , more professionally made from all points of view .
In two weeks I will begin to upload the photo .
We welcome all your opinions and also critiques . :o
-
Hi you have done a cracking job, very nice, im looking to build one first attempt could you post some sizes height depth would be appreciated.
-
In a downsized world its refreshing to see some large, flamboyant and overbuilt.... Thank you for the updates, It gives me hope for the future of mankind.

I'm impressed with the amount of thought and effort that has gone in to this, but surely it's just a "project" for personal use?
There are commercially available similar machines and even these sell only in small numbers.
Digital machines are generally less popular and second-hand ones are cheaper than old vinyl playing jukeboxes. The appeal of those is for many, just "nostalgia."
Most people these days seem to want "on the go" music, or else there's a lot of young people walking about using "old-fashioned" deaf aids.
It's all about convenience. I've got two vinyl jukeboxes, two vintage jukebox wall box/adapter/iPod/hi-fi systems. But more often than not I just stick a memory stick in the TV and play any of several thousand mp3s I have through the TVs soundbar.

Looks like he has it sited in a bar. I know Jukeboxes are still quite popular in pubs in the U.K. well the few pubs that still exist that is.

I'll start posting pictures of both models , one will be Harley Davidson style ,
the other will go more on classic.On the end i will post a few sizes and draws.
12 inch woofer,100w RMS amplifier,19" touchscreen LG monitor,wifi,AlbumPlayer software.
And now ...start pictures.......... :hissy:

looks great. i'm still not a real fan of that big silver coin mech you are using, it looks a little out of place with the nice wood work.
maybe just a simple slot with some brass or copper plate around it.
EXAMPLE:
http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Polished-Stamped-Brass-Scalloped-or-Oval-Coin-Slot-Covers-Sold-in-Pairs-/360853745260 (http://www.ebay.ie/itm/Polished-Stamped-Brass-Scalloped-or-Oval-Coin-Slot-Covers-Sold-in-Pairs-/360853745260)
then you can use an internal coin acceptor and the outside looks a little cleaner.

Nice work. After looking through from your first one to the last couple I can see the refinements that only comes from making a few and some hindsight! I like the way you've used the the flat sheets and added on (something I should have done with mine) - but we all learn. And added a front opening door for access (assembling mine now I wish I had of done this).
Thanks for the pics - Pete :cheers:

Outstanding work!

The wood work is fantastic. :cheers:
I'm still not a fan of that big chrome coin mechanism. it sticks out like a big chinese thumb on there.
you have made everything else, it looks great...nice retro style...why not make a brass or copper plate that you can insert a coin into instead of the big chrome coin acceptor?
-
These are some amazing jukeboxes. Touchtunes has nothing on these. Although I do not especially love that type of coin mechanism, that's a good choice. There is a lot going on with your jukebox, so having stand out may not be a bad thing. I would hate for someone to not play it because they could not find the coin slot.
-
Unfortunately this type of coin acceptor is only acceptable in terms of price and reliability available on the market in my country Romania.
In the future I will try to change the front plate, but anyway I think I'll try integration this coin acceptor into a metal panel, to see what ideas come to me.
As the basis of these latest models will remain in production, which of course I will make loots of improvements, I hope that gradually bring the best possible level of finishing and a more pleasant appearance.
Anyway after 2years of work, information gathered from everywhere, many searches, and a lot of mistakes, that is my level. Unfortunately the poor technical equipment does not help me too much, and all work including design and execution are made by one man .... me. And that's too much, in my opinion. I would have liked to have a partner as passionate as me and try to improve t hese devices and who knows to make a small business out of it. Unfortunately at me, in Romania are very few passionate and probably also the only person who manufactures this handmade jukebox devices. But who knows, maybe someday .... ;)
-
Nice build. makes me want to build one. What software are you using for the Jukebox
-
How do the coin acceptors work with a PC? I'm in the process of trying to work out if a simple coin slot and switch would do the job or do I need one of those. Any info appreciated as I've seen them listed on eBay.

you need some kind of encoder to interface to the computer to either emulate a keyboard key press or some kind of data your program can pull from the port.
these coin acceptors simply close a switch when a valid coin is inserted and accepted.
this "switch" can be wired to a microcontroller or other interface to let the computer know what's going on.
a popular encoder/microcontroler is the "kade" microcontroller. (http://www.kadevice.com/ (http://www.kadevice.com/)) it plugs in via USB to your computer and depending on how it's programmed will insert data to your computer when it's inputs are triggered. (mainly it emulates a keyboard or a joypad) so if your software expects you to press "X" to register a coin, you program the microcontroller to spit out an "X" on the inputs you've wired the coin mechanism to. that way, when you insert a coin, the computer gets a keypress of "X" and the software issues a credit.
how you will program the microcontroller will depend highly on the software you intend to use and what the computer needs you to do to issue a credit.
for instance coin1 on my software is "F1" and coin2 is "F2" so i have the microcontroller to "press" the correct F-key depending if i put a coin into one slot or another.
you could just as easily program it as the "space bar"...or "5" or "backspace" or whatever.
-
Cheers I already have an ipac so I could use that

You can use this for coin acceptor http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Kiosk-computer-control-board-with-coin-acceptor/400351_449721525.html (http://www.aliexpress.com/store/product/Kiosk-computer-control-board-with-coin-acceptor/400351_449721525.html)
or simply this https://youtu.be/boPOutQKR2w (https://youtu.be/boPOutQKR2w)
Software wich i used is called AlbumPlayer and is a great jukebox software.

How does the coin acceptor/relay tell the software that a coin has been inserted? Do you have to send wires from it to the keyboard encoder and if so how?
