My mate worked in London restoring these machines for customers.<br /><br />Some makes of jukebox did not need the middle taking out of 45's but most did. l always used a centre piece adaptor on my deck.<br /><br />Strangely enough l've just had someone ask me to look at an old pintable. The circuit diagrams were amazing. They came in one sheet and were about 3ft by 9ft! Unfortunately 99% of owners threw them away because they couldn't understand them!!!!!!<br /><br />Bah!Spartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14845586501410364657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-58981132165698875092010-03-01T13:44:46.682+00:002010-03-01T13:44:46.682+00:00TP, I used to get into big trouble for hanging aro...TP, I used to get into big trouble for hanging around coffee bars.

I sometimes bought the ones they removed from the machine, and you had to find a little piece of plastic to go in the hole.Wrinkled Weaselhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05291551539649118631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-53175672059574295952010-03-01T12:32:59.831+00:002010-03-01T12:32:59.831+00:00l was in the very fortunate position of having acc...l was in the very fortunate position of having access to a jukebox. lt was at my Nanna's pub where l did seem to spend most of my childhood.<br /><br />The man who looked after the jukebox used to leave tokens for free plays. When he got to know me he used to leave me loads of them on the strict understanding that l used them when the pub was closed. My Nanna let me go downstairs to the pub to play the jukebox whenever l wanted.<br /><br />He also left all the records that had been changed with updates. So, from the beginning l didn't buy any singles and this being the case l can't remember what my first one was. l do remember The Stones were quite favoured as l liked the rebellion. Played Peter Greens Mac a great deal too.<br /><br />Happy Days!Spartanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14845586501410364657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19662178.post-85781232542774803692010-02-28T13:01:09.970+00:002010-02-28T13:01:09.970+00:00These teen-agers and their milk bars, where will i...These teen-agers and their milk bars, where will it all end? I don't like the look of that Richard fellow, either. Too subversive. What they need is a bloody good haircut and two years of National Service. That'll sort 'em out.<br /><br />8=|T. P.
