Re: [Jukebox-list] Re: Fitting 2 jukes in a minivan, was Wurlitzer 3310 - plays all records

Hi Britt,
Oh I so wish I had this information months ago, LOL  What a clever idea! 
Thanks for thinking of me, I really appreciate it very much.  I was 
fortunate to have removed alot of the 1650 before I put it in the van 
yesterday  so the weight was not soo bad with my Son's help.  I push my luck 
with each Jukebox I find but your great idea would have saved my husband's 
back!  :)
Jackie
