[Jukebox-list] Aireon jukebox for sale, S.F. Bay area

[Jimmy Day]

Kyle -

My "opinion" - I think it needs you.  It looks sad and forgotten, and I 
myself cannot bear to see old jukes being carted off to their final roundup. 
This Aireon is rare and I hope you do get it and restore it.  I don't think 
they are all that attractive, and apparently they weren't all that sucessful 
as a jukebox, but they deserve their place in jukebox history.

So please buy it!  And keep us posted on your progress.  I certainly hope 
that ALL the parts are there, as I doubt if spares would be easy to find.

As for the record safety thing, I would think that the company COULD have 
retrofitted some sort of safety, as soon as reports came in.  I would thing 
a long wire that passed up and down over the record stack, connected to a 
microswitch, could have made sure no record was stuck.  Why they did not do 
this is a mystery.  Seeburg had the same problem with their early model and 
they recalled every one.  Aireon should have done the same.  The worst thing 
that can happen is a machine getting a bad reputation from the operators.
