[Jukebox-list] Wurlitzer 2410 1960

[Jackie]

Jens,
thanks so much for all that detail.  How interesting.  I am getting ready to 
do some research online, however you have answered many of my questions. 
Did these machines take tubes or was it solid state in 1960?

Good to know these are reliable and the mech is easy to work on.  I sure 
have had a time with the Statesman, but I still love it.  I have lots of 
stereo 45's that sound terrible on the Seeburg C, it will be nice to have 
another Jukebox to play them on.

I am courious, what made these one of the last collectable Wurlitzers?
Jackie
