[Jukebox-list] Another Jukebox - Seeburg 147 Trashcan

[etreble7]

Hi JC and Jeremy,
I agree, this is a "Project Juke" for sure!  I think it's way over my head 
and I am sure I will have to have lots of help to restore it.  Fortunately, 
I have a few good options near by, but for now I am just thrilled to have it 
and fuss over it.  I am a "neat freak" so just cleaning it up will be fun 
for me.

Jeremy, thanks for the link, I will get to that later today and post some of 
the pics, it's not too pretty.  JC, I paid $200 for the Juke, and like I 
said, the records in it alone were worth the money to me, as you all know 
how much I love my music!  I've been looking for 78rpms for a while, but 
only run across the Classical Music and some Holiday Music, never have I 
happened upon any R&R, so this is exciting.

I am surprised at how big it is, not what I was expecting.  I thought it was 
just over waist high, this thing is to my shoulders!

Jeremy, what condition is your trashcan in?  After looking at my pics, let 
me know how bad mine is, LOL!
Jackie
