The Seeburg M100A played 12-inch 78-RPM singles.  Since the 78 era, 
7-inch are the largest played by any coin-op juke that I'm aware of.

Seeburg made a home hi-fi unit that played 12-inch LPs.  If yours are 33 
RPM they would play there.

The 10-inch and 12-inch singles were popular for DJ and disco use in the 
1980s.  Some are 33 RPM, some 45, all I've seen are small center hole. 
If the music is to your taste, most were very good recordings with 
excellent fidelity.
