See if you can get an app store update for it Clayton

and surprise surprise, it doesn’t get recharged

Now to find some 45s.

Let the generation gap jokes begin!

Hey Vinyl is kind of back in style.

Rock’Ola’

That’s one jukebox George Michaels didn’t get his hands on. ;-)

(Reference “FREEDOM 95” on youtube if you do not comprehend)

Father vs son

Analog vs digital.

I saw one that looked like old times, but the platters were strictly decorative. Web connected, it would play anything from Tommy Dorsey to Tommy Chong & take credit cards or smartfone payment.

I bought an old jukebox on eBay years ago. It was in bad shape. You could tell it had even caught on fire once. Sadly we never were able to get it to work. We have well over 45 feet of 45’s on shelves in our basement, needing a jukebox.

Anybody else old enough to remember when the records were not only discs, but ceramic or glass discs? I seem to have some memory that they flew quite well, pre-frisbee flying discs… Had some Calvin in me back then.

Or upgrade to 33 1/3 LPs….I have some I’ll sell you.

Even Clayton is showing his age with the finger tap. I thought he would say;“Hey jukebox, play a song!!”

I love some of the TikTok videos where parents ask their (usually) teenage children to state what they think some of the items from decades ago are about – e.g Filofax, Rolodex, “be kind, rewind”, Walkman etc. Some of the answers they get are funny

Just another big piece of furniture to dust.

You can’t just plug in 50 year old electronics and expect them to work, though. The capacitors in the older circuits degrade over time and become little short circuits. You plug it in, and kaboom! Ya let the smoke out…

Lots to learn kid….

Adam, try hunting for secondhand record stores. They should have a good supply of them. Failing that, try EBay.

Purchase ONE record and use it to troubleshoot the device. Buy more once / if you get it working.

now if it was a 1946 Wurlitzer Model 1015 https://dygtyjqp7pi0m.cloudfront.net/i/40119/34493089_2.jpg?v=8D75A4AFDC35050 he’d really have something

CD’s, DVD’s, Blue Ray’s, 4K, all are round and spin, where do I load them? …

No chip reader or card slot to pay with a card. No scan codes either.

try unplugging it and plugging it back in again…
