Phonoland

I bought this because it had WURLITZER on it. A bad weakness and a poor excuse for buying it but there it was in the antique mall. I could not help myself. What's it Do? Probably nothing to do with a jukebox since it is military. My wife hopes I never find a rock with WURLITZER on it! Sorry, correct answer does not get a prize and I won't really know if an answer is correct or not anyway.

Too easy-- no wonder you won't offer a prize !
It's an indicator, type 176/GX--model 35 !

Hi David,
No problem--I understand that when one makes it to the "ghetto" one becomes a little "slow" !
Glad to help -- Ron Rich

During WW2, many factories were taken over by the government and converted to produce military equipment.

Hi Ken,
"Taken over", I don't think is the correct way to state this--
As I understand it, the govt issued specs for needed products, and anyone who felt their factory could build it, could bid on it. In some cases, some specs made no sense at all, as they were just "parts" of a much larger project. Seeburg built one such--the sight for the Nordon bomb delivery system. As it was tolt to me by an "old timer" at Seeburg at that time, they did not know what was being done with that sight, nor, most of the other "stuff" they built. They were not able to purchase any material used in the making of jukeboxes at that time--just what the War Dept. allowed for whichever contracts were in force. Ron Rich
