Credit module works, took some time and hair tearing out of the head, but it works well!

Need to do now:
Redesign the skin so it matched the panel
make the old buttons work

Crickey! I remember when those models came out with a big price tag!
Must of been a big decision to convert. Was it buggered before you started?
At least it wasn't a original vinyl I suppose. Still!
NICE JOB!
I'm a fan of quality conversions on nice cabinets.

It was a 100 CD Machine.

It was a big desicion to do, but, the machine had worked for 4 years, and it was a pain to change the music in it. Not so much because it was difficult but becouse of the people using the juke, and complaining 'there' song was gone. Also there were some stupid things, like looking up music on the juke was imposible, people came asking if this or that song was on there...
And it was impossible to know how many songs were in q.

I removed most of the parts, like the 2 lcd screens and the existing pc, (started to fail allready) removing the glass plate was the most diff desicion, I searched for 3 months to a solution where I could use the existing screens that were behind the glass, but that meant using the buttons only, or finding a touch solution that works thrue the glass plate. Proofed impossible because the glasse plate is concave (bended) with a non consistend radius. grrr...

So the glass plate will be for sale, had a wooden box made for protection to store it in.

Thanks Barry for a good working software solution!

Thanks for your nice comments!
