[Jukebox-list] RE: Grill tubes / glass tubes

[Jens Hultgren]

Funny thing is that Wurlitzer used nice walnut veneer all through the
fifties (until 2500, 1961?) even though the last model where you could
actually see the veneer, stained and lacquered, was the 1700.
We're talking hundreds of thousands of machines, so they must've had a good
deal on the veneer.
