Default Not a radio but still vintage.

Hope you like this.

The left one is a 1947 Seeburg Symphonola 147 on 78’s
The middle one is a 1949 Ami C also on 78’s
The right hand one is a 1951 Wurlitzer 1400 on 45’s.

I still have 5 more that are not shown in various states of repair.

All three were restored during the lockdown.

Hello Courtney, I am so envious! I once owned a jukebox under restoration but a house move forced me to sell it, I have regretted it ever since. Yours look just wonderful, superb restoration.

You can see where the styling for the robot on 'Forbidden Planet' came from.
