[Jukebox-list] Rockola 1448 Grill ?

[Jens Hultgren]

I have two or three grilles extra, but I am in Sweden :o)

All the parts dealers could have some front doors from 1448/1452/1454 in
stock as the grill aluminum is rarely dented - lots of hardware to protect
it.

Yep, Seeburg had the best engineers, but there's more to a jukebox than
engineering....
