[Jukebox-list] Mechanical Music!!!

[Jjmscf at aol.com]

Jackie.You're collecting all kinds of toys aren't you.You've got to post a  
picture somewhere.I'd love to see it.I'd love to see that guys collection.I'm  
not all that far away.Now I'm trying to convince a friend to go to an auction  
that's about 60 miles away next Saturday Morning.It's an estate sale with all 
 kinds of cool stuff and listed is a Seeburg jukebox.My friend  said to call  
to see what model it is since I don't need any more 60s on up ones since I'll 
 probably just turn around and sell them  and got too many projects as well.  
Regardless of what model it is if it plays it will go sky high anyway.He 
don't  want to waste his time.I'm hoping for a 50s box that does not work..lol.I 
got to  satisfy my curiosity but at the same time I gotta work.I hate working 
on  Saturdays!!!!!!!!!!!!I  I am  going to get up real early tomorrow.A  local 
yard sale lists 200 78s.I gotta go before work...lol.I went and got the  222 
on a Saturday.The boss was in Florida.Did a couple of morning service calls  in 
my truck instead of the work van and off I went to get it.The guy  couldn't 
be there on Sunday.
 
Also listed is a 66'Mustang. quote"Extremely nice estate car"How cool.It  
will probably go more than I could afford anyway.And even more Mustangs in need  
of repair or parts and Mustang parts.Darn.Sucks to be too poor to buy a 
classic  car like that and would never have time or money to complete a project.I 
like  Mustangs.My mom had a 68' when I was little and my 1st car was a 1975 
Mustang  II.
