clonestar! that is one meataxe of a juke!

i was thinking of making a waist high, stand over sort of one with the screen mounted horzontally but i think im converted! so the 'Athlon 700 Mhz I think with about 256Mb RAM' handles it all all right does it? thats another thing ive wondered, or is there a little lag when youve got 100gigs of albums loaded?

and everyone else... POST YOUR LINKS!!!!

Hello All!

Here is a Art Deco Jukebox with blue mirror, chrome and lighting! Not yet finished, still finishing the center section that will be the button panel and hidden keyboard drawer with cd burner/ dvd, miniature keyboard and card reader. The jukebox will have full sound system with a commercial amp and lighting in the columns that i am designing that will do patterns and sound to light like the old 70's color organs controlled from the computer.

This will eventually be in plans and kit form.

Let me know what you think!

Kevin, that's a gorgeous design!  Do you have experience with large console radios of the '30's?  Do a google image search for '12S370' (a Zenith console model that I own) and you'll see why I ask.   I can't wait to see your finished juke.

Brian

[digitaldj]

Good eye Brian! To answer your question yes i have experience with old radios and they were an influence in my design as well as the art deco radios of the time period with the blue mirror and chrome. This design also resembles the very first jukeboxes of the late 40's when they played 78rpm records. One of my favourite Zenith radios was the model 5808(google if you want)

I will post some pictures when it's done!

Kevin,

Definitely a looker.  I think it is now my favorite juke.  How much do you anticipate the plan/kit being?

[digitaldj]

This will be sold on the Virtual Music Jukebox website for the same price as the wall mount jukexebox. I tried to find where the wall mount was for sale on the site and coudn't find it, they have changed thier website around! I believe somewhere around $50.00 or less! The kit i'm not sure of at this point.
Thanks for the interest, i have spent alot of time on this jukebox!

Updated pictures for the Art Deco Jukebox!

I don't have the button panel done yet and just stained evrything to get it finished. Installed the sound system and sounds great. I will post more pictures soon. The plastic in the center section will get polished and have rope light behind it to light up like the top and bottom palstic in the picture above in the earler post!

Let Me Know what you think on my design and the project good or bad!
Thanks,
Kevin

[menace]

She's almost done--some detailing work to be done and a few modifications but it works!  Its a sony vaio laptop behind a crt touchscreen panel running chris's winjuke.  the Laptop is fully removable (since it's the wife's laptop and no hacking was one of the mandates of using it)  The whole thing weighs about 50lbs and with a separate usb hard drive (behind the laptop) I have 40Gb's of music loaded so far.  Not meant to rock a hall but perfect for patios and porches--which is what i use it for...

Kevin, any progress on your awesome jukebox??  I'd love to see any new pictures.


Brian

[digitaldj]

Brian,

Thanks for the post! I don't have any new pictures just yet but close. What is holding me up is getting the last 2 peices of plastic getting thier edges flamed so they look like the rest of the plastic.

Jukeman,

Dude that is awesome! I would like to see it with the monitor on at some point though. Great work! So how much would you charge to make one for me? 

[digitaldj]

Thanks!

I haven't thought of making any for anyone, i know i have alot of time in it but alot of that time was getting everything i wanted and being on a tight budget. I have worked on it for a couple of years designing it and having to remake some of the trim once i had it the way i wanted then make it in better wood. I'm not saying this just because it's my jukebox but the sound is awesome, i din't use the best midrange and tweeters they were pulls from some stereo speakers and then i used 15" woofers with crossovers and a pyle amp.

This is eventually going to be made into plans and possibly a kit, the last of my drawings have just went out to be done up in cad and step by step procedure.

I will get some more pictures on as soon as i can.

If you would want to build one i can guide you through the process or i can talk to my brother and come up with a typical price and email you. Let me know if i can email you and we can discuss some options.

Once again thanks for the comments!
Kevin

Uses an NCR touchscreen web kiosk that was part of a Burger King POS till found on eBay. Runs Win98SE (it's only a 266Mhz with 64M RAM) and TouchTone software. Connected to the web for Internet radio as well. One the good things is that it doesn't need any fans. I plan to build a new cabinet with a backwards sloping front when I get the time.

[overWired]

I registered here after lurking for awhile just to post my pics.  After scanning this thread, I feel that mine is a little boring, yet perhaps a little more attainable for less accomplished woodworkers than many of the other masterpieces here.

Anyway, I posted my pics over at flickr: http://www.flickr.com/photos/overwired

This is inspired by the juke in Make: Vol. 2, and all the great jukes here.  The PC is a 256M / 20 GB Celeron 433 running Win98 and Chris's WinCab Jukebox.  I hacked up one of the skins to cram 64 songs per screen, and reduce the number of buttons required for song selection (call me cheap).

Hope you like it, and / or it inspires you to create something yourself.

I drew up the plans myself, and intend to scan them and post them.  I'm certainly willing to make them available if there is any interest.

[scylla2]

Okay, here's mine. Just complete:

[Luis_G]

hey nice work on the jukebox i like it alot 
here's mine its not complet yet  but on DEC 22 or 23 it will be done

[digitaldj]

Sorry i have been a little behind in posting pictures for a few reasons beyond my control! Still working on getting labels in the buttons, getting, installing and wiring the led rope light to go in the front on the button panel/hidden keyboard section. I still have a few things to purchase, vibration cooling mount for the hardrive, 2 led conversion led lights for the triangle buttons, speaker insulation for the 2 15" speakers in the bottom and wire up all of the 110v connections. Still need to make a vibration mount for the cd/dvd drive and mount it. The card reader will have to have the wires lengthened with shielded wire to reach from one side of the jukebox to the other side to connect to the motherboard.

A friend and I are in the process of designing the lighting and circuit to go in the columns. We have some of the circuit worked out and new design on the lighting grid that will have led lighting that will have 64 squares for each module and 1 module will go on each side of the jukebox. These modules will be able to generate 4096 colors in each square and do all kinds of patterns and effects. These lights will operate from the computer with a coprocessor to control the lights. I still have some programming to do on the computer software to control the coprocessor.

I planned to have this done by newyears except for the lighting but didn't make it!

Enjoy the pictures and let me know what you think!

[Harpal]

all of them look great,once i get my project finish i might just try my hands on  building a jukebox......
hmmmm good idea!!!

[Dermbrian]

As if you don't know....!

A work of art.  I suppose that people like or don't like a particular piece of art.  This, I like.  It's kind of like the genre encompasses an IPOD Nano on one end and this at the other.

Brian

[digitaldj]

Thanks!

I know this may not appeal to everyone but i like feedback good or bad. Yes i think it came out better than ever expected when i started it and made alot of changes in the beginning. But i trust everyones opinion on the forum because it is what we are all interested in. A very good friend of mine didn't even give my hard copy pictures even a minute of time and i guess even though he is a big music nut it just wasn't what he is into, all he said was it looked a little big. I may have to agree with him on that but it ended up being that way in the beginning for a couple of reasons and i may look at down sizing the plans. I also believe if you put large furniture or an object in a small room it will look large, but if you put a small object in a small room it still looks small.

I have to thank everyone on the forums for great ideas that are being generated and members that are writing software, i think this is a great hobby and we can learn alot from each other. In the beginng what sparked me to build the jukebox was Virtual Music Jukebox and even though they have had some problems i think we all have to agree that they helped the hobby considerably and laid the path for the very best layout for a button controllable program.

Here's an appeal (awesome projects everyone!) -- if you haven't submitted your juke to the examples database yet, please do?

[digitaldj]

Please Direst Us There!

[saint]

Heh   It's on the menu to the left, "Submit Project" -- http://arcadecontrols.com/projectsubmit.php 

If there's no menu to your left you're not technically on the main site, http://www.arcadecontrols.com/  which a lot of people do and don't realize there's more around.

Anyway, kudos on the jukes!
