Rob,
Yep--"Gulbranson" was one of the many companies Seeburg purchased in the late 50's- early 60's--
including a very well known hearing aid company --and some real "oddball" stuff, on which they "lost their shirt"-- Ron Rich

Was there any venture, outside of jukes that was a success for them?

Hi Rob,
Well, this would depend entirely upon whom "them" was--
IMHO, a LOT of $$ went into certain pockets--while the "Seeburg Corp." was "bleeding"--

I was amused by that, shows how much technology has moved on. I've a fairly sophisticated Yamaha electric piano which can produce a large volume of all sorts of far more realistic drum effects.
