The Wurlitzer 1500 is the only jukebox ever made that could play 45s and 78s
intermixed.
There's a decal on the dome that says it all - "Wurli-Magic brain"! The mech
has cams and switches everywhere so it can sense the size of the spindle
hole and adjust needle landing and cut-off AND record speed accordingly.
An amazing accomplshment at any time, and this was done in 1951. An
electro-mechanical marvel amongst those over-engineered Seeburps. ;o)
The Wurlitzer 1500 should be on the World Heritage List and in the Guinness
Book of Records.
Nuff said!
