Hmm, vintage stereo equipment?

Waiting on crossover parts right now...

Lots of the gang here visit the Pheasnt Run show every year.
Do a search on Chicago Land.

Most meet up before the show at McDonalds for Breakfast and a parts swap.

If you have these for sale you may want to post in the classified section.

Most of us have gamerooms that are just screaming for one of these.

What brand and model are they? Are they two way or three way? If your not worried about keeping them stock you can get crossovers from a lot of distributors, one for instance would be mcmelectronics.com. Just make sure of the desired crossover frequencies and power ratings.

Thanks for the info Jay, Bought a couple of Seeburgs at the last jukebox convention. I'll post them when we get closer to completing them.

Klipsch KG4s. There's a guy in Arkansas that sells the kits for these, it's easier to rebuild the ones already in it. These are for my garage.

volts!  your work is incredible!  really wish i lived closer!

Thanks ! I was at the current Jukebox convention at Pheasant Run in St Charles, IL. I wasn't very impressed, there were less jukeboxes and one armed bandits than at the last show.  A lot of people from Europe come here to buy up jukeboxes and ship them back to Europe, they go for big bucks over there. The poor economy is really hurting this industry.

I purchased a Wurlitzer OMT juke a few years ago and have enjoyed many hours of music out of it.  It is the 100 cd player that came with the remote control and is displayed proudly in my home theater lobby.

Looking good Bobodude! I still need to drop buy and check it out in person on my way to Reno some time!

I have a Seeburg DS-160 that needs a new cartridge. Red is stereo and black is monaural I believe. The unit came with a black, can I change it to red without any issues ? Right now the B side of the 45 record sounds somewhat muted and I think it is the cartridge since the edge is cracked and won't hold the needle in place properly. Any thoughts ? Do you know where I can get a new cartridge at a reasonable price ?

Frank, the DS-160 (lower picture) is a stereo jukebox, just repaired one in Plainfield, Illinois, played six records, scans then stops. For a new cartridge you can try Ebay or google search (Seeburg DS-160 cartridge.) I can get back to you with some specific sites later. Also the jukebox convention is next week 11/10/2012 and 11/11/2012  in St. Charles Illinois at the Pheasant Run Hotel on North Ave. Friday is the flea market outside where you can find parts (maybe a cartridge) and jukeboxes and slot machines for parts. Saturday and Sunday are inside for a small entrance fee where they have restored jukeboxes, bowling. pinball games and slot machines for sale as well as new 45 rpm records.

We moved from NJ to Delaware in July and left the Seeburg for the new owner. It was too heavy to move and we did not have room for it anyway. I only kept 1 Pachislo, 2 Pachinkos, a 1949 Tucson pin and 2 IGT Haywires. Downsizing really was not much fun for me. Thank you for the information. Our members are the best.

bet your real estate taxes are less in del , our are 90% less here in va , plus i can own slots without fighting nj again

[Frank A]

Our overall expenses have been cut by 4 times. Taxes-NJ= $ 9600. Taxes-DE= $ 1700 + School $ 580. Unfortunately, my large collection is gone. I even sold the Double Impact which I bought from you as my first machine. Our Manhattan Bagel offices were in Horizon Center just down the road from your building so I was over to buy from you quite often. My first pingame was Lethal Weapon 3 which I also bought from you.
