Title: Retro jukebox crazy price
Post by: BobA on March 17, 2009, 12:19:21 pm

This retro looking jukebox is not my taste but I understand the look.  The crazyness is the price.  Maybe we should crank out a few.

Yeah, but check out the Turntable down a little further on the parent link.

It sounds like more of an art piece than a production piece. They basically take an old technics tt, gut it, put felt on the table itself, and than add a shake switch so that when you slap the turntable with your hand, a signal is sent to switch to the next track.

Clever, definitely, but is it really worth 6000eu?
