Where can I find a used Jukebox or Wallbox for my home rec room ?
Jukeboxes and wallboxes were the culture of America. At one time, just about every diner and local bar had several wallboxes (or bar-boxes) which were connected to a jukebox or a “hide-away” jukebox. That all changed after Sony introduced the first CD player in 1982. By 1985, CD sales were beginning to skyrocket as consumers were now (re)purchasing their favorite music on this new media. The jukebox industry had to also make changes to include this new music technology. At first, jukeboxes were introduced as dual media play, vinyl 45’s and limited CD’s, then shortly after, CD only. This left decades of vinyl jukeboxes and wallboxes behind and abandoned. Small “mom & pop” diners were not able to afford the cost of a new CD system, and so, the vinyl system was taken down and removed from service. The best place to start looking for used jukeboxes and wallboxes would be to find local jukebox operators in your area. You can get their name from the Jukebox License label that is on every juk
