[Jukebox-list] 1958 United (Was: Done reading "The juke box andme" )

[Jens Hultgren]

Yes absolutely - if you have ten or more machines on a route, it is critical
and there are other aspects of the Aireon that must've made it very
unattractive to operate compared to a M100A. But for the jukebox lover who a
half century later wants a 78 rpm jukebox for his game room, to be played a
few evenings per week or probably less, keeping it running is easy.
The same goes for the other oddballs that operators shunned - the Packards,
the Filbens, the Wurlie 1500, the Uniteds, the Evanses,  the list goes
on.....not so sure about the Rockola 1436 tho. Sixty 78s in a ferris wheel
sounds like a recipe for disaster ;o)
