Hello everybody, new member here.
I'm curious as to how common is it for ownership of multiple jukes? Do you regularly listen to them or are they primarily for show? Personally, I own 13 with 7 set up currently, mostly 50's and early 60's, played almost daily. Actually, if the radio isn't playing and I'm listening to music, it's jukbox music.
Thanks for the replies
who owns multiple jukes?
Q&A about all types of jukeboxes: Wurlitzer, Seeburg, Rock-Ola, AMI, and more.

Hi and welcome to the board.
That seems an all engrossing hobby to have that many.
Why not post a few photos?
I'm just a part time enthusiast, several on here are experts and have been a great help to many people like myself.
I've two, neither of which are of much significance. Photos of both have been seen by contributors to this board.
Being retired, my time is taken up with a lot of golf, my Japanese koi pool, My tenor saxophone, my electric piano and a fair bit of gardening.
My jukeboxes are in our the Japanese tea-house I built at the bottom of our garden. I like to listen to them after a bit of gardening.
In the summer it's nice to sit down there in the cool and out of the sun either watching the TV or enjoying the music and a couple of beers.
I've a little Budweiser fridge on a stand on castors that I can roll out on to the veranda.

Hi Greg,
Welcome to the forum. I've collected quite a few in the past few years. I'm up to 14 right now and have gotten 5 working. I've been finding them on Craigslist and eBay in the $100 range. Rob-NYC has amassed quite a collection, nice to keep the heritage going! I suppose being "in the business" is a big help there.
So far the Rockola's have been the easiest for me to fix. Working are my 468, 484 & 490. I've gotten 2 Rowe's going so far, a JMB & R-81, MM1 is next. I haven't messed with the 3 Seeburg's or 3 Wurlitzers as yet. The Wurlitzers are butt ugly to me (3500 & 3660), The 2810 would've been a nice looking machine but is too far gone to restore. The inside is rusty, all the chrome is pitted and has broken glass. The Seeburg's seem overly complicated to me (sorry Ron). But I haven't dove in to them yet, so I might be surprised (LPC480 & PFEA1U). And last but not least, NSM Consul 130, which seems to be an odd ball. I've yet to find a service manual in english for this one (I've tried every supplier listed and then some). Hildegard had one in German which I got. I've spent hours translating it into english to little avail. Even when I translate the sentences they still don't make any sense... to me that is
Still like tinkering with pinballs and bowlers too. 6 pins, 2 shuffle bowlers, 2 pinball styled Bingo's and 3 video arcade machines.
Keep up the good work!
