We Sell Your Jukeboxes
Overview
In an age of music streaming platforms and handheld music devices, it’s rare to find oneself in a situation where the music is limited to a small, predetermined selection. However, thinking back even just 20 years brings us to the era of the compact-disc, a time period in which music selection was not all that different from the jukebox era. In 1918, Hobart C. Niblack patented a device that automatically changed records within a music box, leading to the introduction of one of the first selective jukeboxes in 1927. In 1928, Justus P. Seeburg combined an electrostatic loudspeaker with a record player that was coin-operated, creating a bulky device that allowed patrons to choose between eight different records. Over the years, many manufacturers jumped on the jukebox train, including Wurlitzer, Crosley, and “Rock-Ola”. The look and style of jukeboxes progressed from plain wooden music boxes in the early 1930s to the colourful, marbleized plastic light shows of the Wurlitzer 850 Peacock in 1941.
