Is that a modified sound liesure jukebox? It certainly looks like one. The last time i saw one of those modded it was running SK Jukebox and all they did was remove the title strips and add a monitor as SK uses the numeric input the same is if you are suing the strips.

NO I BIULD THESE CABINETS MY SELF.
I HAVE MY OWN TEMPLATES THAT I HAVE MADE TO BIULD THESE CABINETS.

IN THIS PICTURE YOU CAN SEE SOME DOORS AND SPEAKER GRILLS I HAVE MADE, BUT UNFINISHED


IN THIS PICTURE YOU CAN SEE THE PRESS MOLD I USE TO MAKE THE ARCH WITH.


AND IN THIS PICTURE YOU CAN SEE THE NEXT CABINET I WILL BE BIULDING.


I HOPE THIS CLEARS UP THAT THIS IS NOT A RETRO FITTED CABINET BUT ONE THAT I HAND CRAFT.
IN FACT THIS IN NUMBER 32 MEANING THIS IS THE 32nd CABINET I HAVE BIULD.

AND I HAVE BEEN BIULDING THESE CABINETS FOR OVER 8 YEARS NOW.

not my style since they are before my time  ;D    but it does look very nice, do you use wiggle wood on the top?  You did that in 3 months, it would take me a year to make that.

again nice job

no wiggle wood.
the top is 6 layers of 1/8" 2ply plywood that is put in to a steam tank for 30 minutes, then each layer is glued then wrapped with 6, 3 inch wide cargo straps onto the press mold and lt is set to dry for 48hr's

I saw a clone of that tonight, he has cloned that design from a sound liesure box like i thought he had.

http://www.classicjukeboxes.co.uk/showroom/showroom_jukeboxes.htm

Take a look their, look simular? It's the fron grill that made me question it in the first place.

Looks like a mod of this...

http://www.classicjukeboxes.co.uk/showroom/manhattan.htm



That grill and image work on the bottom are identical. I KNEW i had seen it before...

The older version has the pan pipe men on like the one posted.

I do biuld them and if any one want to, they can come over and watch me biuld one.
my name is.

Roger Demers
1925 W. Highland St.
Lakeland, Fl. 33815


and for your info it's not a replica of a pathetic sound liesure it's a replica of the 950 wurlitzer
and by the way sound liesure did a mix between a 950 and a 1015 mixing the two cabinets into one.
and most of there cabinet is made from plastic not wood.

and my front grill is made from my template which I duplicated from an original 950 jukebox front grill.

I dont like being called a liar.
I don't call you a liar but maybe I should.

I'd say they both cloned a 950 with brarrab having the more authentic artwork....

Sorry it didn't come out like it should... What i ment was the design was cloned, i didn't mean to say you didn't build it. I just knew i had seen the design somewhere before. The one orc posted looks more like it.

Yes, a very nice looking jukebox... I'm in Tampa/St. Pete so I wouldn't mind finding out what you are charging for just the jukebox cabinet. Send me an email eist1(at)yahoo(dot)com and let me know what it would cost, but my wife would kill me if I bought it now... Need to get a house first according to her :)

beautiful piece of work barrab!!  I read barry's post and I didn't think he was insulting you.  I understood it as he was commenting on the design looked very familiar and I had also seen those before.  Very obvious from your workshop you built this but the design was similar.  Again beautiful work and I am jealous of your skills!!

I went to visit him on  SUnday for a while, the jukebox is georgeous, it did report he is selling these cases on eBay for around 4K (Rodger correct me if I go tthis wong)

also I believe about 4 months to manufacture.
