My new toy! Works like a champ, just need to do some cosmetic restoration. A Rock-ola 467 - called The New Princess. Produced about 500 of these for 1977. Anyone have any experience working on these?

Nice! I was on a mission to get a nice jukebox a few years ago but then the guitars took over. Ooops!

Being 73 I grew up with jukeboxes and Scopitones. I'll always have memories of this puppy:

Prior to moving to L.A. in late '78 I used to ferry to Staten Island from Manhattan and would enjoy dining in a restaurant that had one of these jukeboxes. I loved leaning on it, making my selections and looking through the open top section at the playing mechanism.

Thanks for bringing back some pleasant memories.

That Wurlitzer Bubbler is the pinnacle of juke boxe design. Wish I had the cash for one of those! They're the "Mosrite Ventures" of the juke box world.
