[Jukebox-list] Jackie's Jukes

[Jjmscf at aol.com]

I'm glad all your jukes worked for the holidays,especially the Trashcan.On 
New Years day I finally rearranged the furniture for the HSC1 to rest against 
the wall .I put 4 big sliders under each corner and am happy to say I can easily 
move it in and out from the wall for maintenance.
 
I am waiting on word from Jimmy Day who is picking up a parts mech in 
Baltimore to hopefully replace my cracked pullley. It works but it wobbles enough 
that it will only keep 1 belt on.It throws the other one off. That's why it only 
came with 1 belt.Sounds fantastic with the original speakers I got from ebay.
 
It may get moved to another wall after I replace my 23 year old console 
tv(I'll never be able to buy one that lasts as long as the old Zenith.Sadly it's 
probably like a 40s Wurlitzer was in the 60s. Can't give it away.Even Goodwill 
won't take console tvs.) with a newer model.Can't afford a new flat screen 
right now until the credit card recovers from Christmas but i'm getting a freebie 
crt tv from work for now to place on top of the HSC1.I need floor space for 
jukes. The poor Seeburg R(not working yet) is crammed between the wall and 
stereo rack and it's got side speakers.The stereo rack goes too. the components can 
go on the HSC1 also.
 
I still need room for my Seeburg  C in the living room though the Sunstar may 
have to go in there until a better time to try to sell it since it didn't 
sell before Christmas.I never have luck selling one before Christmas. Always do 
better at tax refund time.The Sunstar got to play some of my Christmas records 
this year.
 
I don't know what songs in particular Charlie liked but I played the heck out 
of my Rockola Supersound 2 on New Years day and remembered Rockola Charlie.It 
might not be playing if it wasn't for him.

so happy with the >Seeburg Trashcan.  It was "played to death" during the 
Holidays and performed just perfectly!  >Selects and cancels right on .  I was a

My plan is in the next couple months, to order a >new top from VG (Ron, it 
will have a head!) and get the light and the upper animation working.

>The Wurlitzer Statesman, living at my Daughter's home, also played well for

again, it's just got really nice tones.  The >Wurlitzer 2410 and the Rockola 437 
Ultra were filled with Christmas songs and had their share of >playing time 
also.  The Rockola Takeout arm got stuck after a play, but thanks to JC's help 
once >before, I knew what to do manually and was able to free up the motor and

>The Wurlitzer 2410 started acting up when selectiing.  Some buttons would 
latch and other's >were stuck.  My friend Mel suggested I check the contacts in 
the coin Mech and sure enough, >after some contact cleaning, we are back on 
track.  The Seeburg C....well I left her alone with all >her 50's Rock and Roll 
and I am thrilled that she plays smoothly and quietly.

>I hope everyone enjoyed their Jukeboxes as much as we did, I've said this 
before...when I'm >having a bad day....just turn one on and rock the blues away. 
 I am always grateful to everyone >here for their support and information.  I 
made sure I played "Rocky Top" for Wes on New Year's >Day,
