I keep this in my summer house at the bottom of our garden. I\'ve had it since April 2009. I would have being \'pushing it\' had I suggested to my wife that it joined my \'leccy\' piano and two saxophones in our house. I\'ve filled it with Motown, classic 50s/60s pop, doo-wop and a few \'standards.\' A 1977 jukebox, of which nearly 4000 were manufactured. The style was promoted by Rock-Ola as; \'Accent on Elegance.\' These were for more \'up-market\' locations, posh pubs and hotel lounges. The \'visible mechanism\' machines situated in cafés, bars and coffee bars were at the end of the 60s, going out of favour with the operators. As the later machines were able to offer more and more selections, (this one has 160), they were running out of space for the labels. Paddles and rollers to show the music choices were used on some with visible mechanisms to get over this, but that required the \'involvement\' of potential customers.

Being presently \'unfashionable\' and large <b>...</b>
