All Seeburgs from the M100A onwards (static magazine, travelling player, tonearm with two styli to play one side or the other), and some of the later 45rpm Wurlitzer machines (static player, revolving magazine, record taken from one of two positions 180° apart depending on selected side).

NSM vinyl jukeboxes also use a vertical play mechanism which is very similar to a Seeburg, but uses separate motors for moving the carriage and playing the record.
