Every time I see a jukebox for sale I get an urge to buy it. My wife seems not to be too much against it, so if I get rid of some of my collections of things I will never use, i think it will be welcomed.
I live in Denmark so it has to be a model that was build or sold in Europe. Soundquality and reliabilty are the highest priorities, so I imagine the later models would be preferable? I would probably be using external speakers and maybe line out. So the the gramophone and changerpart are most critical.
Any recomendations?
I just saw a Wurlitzer Lyric for sale. They were build for many years and I dont know if their design was improved during the years, or if its any good soundwise.
Cheers!

The Wurlitzer of course is an American jukebox.
Growing up in Europe in the 1970s the only jukeboxes I ever recollect seeing were Wurlitzer or AMI Rowe. (Both American.)
There must be some European competition, maybe Philips? They made lots of other things.. 🙂

All the US manufacturers sold machines in Europe. AMI, Wurlitzer, Rockola, and Seeburg were all sold. NSM, a German company, also made jukeboxes. Seeburgs with the visible mechanism are my favorite. A Seeburg HF 100R is a beautiful machine.
Yes I dream of all the bells and wistles. Economy unfortunately dictates, that I probably should look for a boring looking mashine that goes cheaper. Visible mechanism would be great though

I remember CD jukeboxes, probably NSM, in the UK. NSM still manufacturers in the UK it appears. The CD units were small wall mounted units much more compatible with the size of British pubs than the old style neon behemoths! Once you've a bar and a pool table, not much room left!
Yes I see cd jukeboxes often not connected cause the owner use spotify playlists instead. I used to long for a stem-bar and jukebox would be a must for me. I found a place very near after living here for almost 10 years. Very nice, but I no longer feel the need, to go drinking weekly.
At home I would like a phonograph jukebox with 50+ singles. The Lyric that I found got a too high offer, so I will keep looking.

The UK's biggest supplier of CD and vinyl jukeboxes was/is Sound Leisure in Leeds. I went to uni with Mike who was one of the owner's sons, I assume he and his brother run the place these days.
