Touch Here For A Brief History of Wurlitzer Jukebox 1933: Wurlitzer enters the Jukebox market following the repeal of Prohibition. The U.S. Wurlitzer Jukebox manufacturing plant was located in North Tonawanda, NY (until its closing in 1974). Wurlitzer was first to introduce a 24 play mechanism on a Jukebox (in 1937). They introduced the first electrical selector buttons on a Jukebox (in 1941). And, hired Paul Fuller to design some of the most beautiful, and now collectible Jukeboxes ever made, including the Wurlitzer models 750, 850, 950, the most popular Wurlitzer 1015, and the model 1100. In April 1974, Wurlitzer closed their U.S. factory because of declining Jukebox sales due to urban renewal. A spokes person for Wurlitzer (A.D. Palmer Jr) said at the time, “Before urban renewal, there were two saloons on every block” and they bought new Jukeboxes. “Now there’s high rise housing, parking lot’s for a thousand cars and restaurants have Muzak” (a music service). The Jukebox market had dropped significantly. The last 45rpm Jukebox models built there were the 3800, 1050, and 7500. Wurlitzer’s peak production was in 1946-1947. Wurlitzer produced 37,000 Jukeboxes in 1946 and 42,000 in 1947. By 1973 their goal to produce only 12,000 Jukeboxes was not met. They had cut back 1/3 of their production at that time and demand still was not there. At the time, Wurlitzer made up about 25% of the Jukebox market sales. The closing of the U.S. Wurlitzer plant eliminated about 400 employees 1960: Deutsche-Wurlitzer (located in Germany) begins Jukebox production for the European market. They introduced their first Jukebox (the “Lyric”) in 1961. In the early 1970’s, they briefly worked with the U.S. Wurlitzer company. Among the collaborated work was a cassette tape Jukebox called the “Carousel”. Deutsche-Wurlitzer built the Carousel Jukebox and U.S. Wurlitzer marketed. This was short lived as declining sales forced U.S. Wurlitzer to close its factory in 1974. Deutsche-Wurlitzer then took over Jukebox sales in the U.S. market. Wurlitzer Piano and Organ became a separate company and was purchased by Baldwin Piano 1985: The Nelson Group (of Australia) purchases Deutsche-Wurlitzer, and immediately begins work on a reproduction, modern version of the 1946 Wurlitzer 1015 Jukebox, because of its popularity. After two years of production, it was released for the 1987 model year as the “One More Time” or O.M.T. Jukebox. They also added other Jukebox models and vending machines, including a retro reproduction Coke Machine (in 1995). The Deutsche-Wurlitzer U.S. headquarters was located in Gurnee, IL (outside Chicago) until 2007, while manufacturing remained in Germany 2001: Gibson Guitar company purchases the then struggling Baldwin Piano company (of which the Wurlitzer piano and organ company was included). Wanting to own the entire Wurlitzer brand of products, Gibson Guitar then purchases Deutsche-Wurlitzer Jukebox and Vending company (in July of 2006). In 2007, Gibson moves the Wurlitzer U.S. headquarters from Gurnee, IL to Truman, AR (the location of Gibson’s main distribution headquarters of Gibson Guitars and its Baldwin/Wurlitzer Piano lines). Wurlitzer Jukebox manufacturing remained in Germany. Gibson continued production of Wurlitzer Jukeboxes and Vending Machines, adding some new models as the years went on. However, the “Great Recession” hit hard in 2008. Gibson had just issued a price increase on Wurlitzer Jukeboxes in 2007, and another in 2008. With a recession going on, many people out of work and Gibson’s increased prices, Wurlitzer Jukebox sales declined heavily. Deutsche-Wurlitzer held on for 5 more years, but with no major increase in sales, Gibson ceased all Wurlitzer Jukebox manufacturing in December of 2012 January of 2013: Deutsche-Wurlitzer Company declares bankruptcy, and Gibson sells the Jukebox and Vending company. However, (as part of the sale) Gibson did retain the name “Wurlitzer Jukebox” in hopes to some day begin Jukebox production again. The new owners emerged Deutsche-Wurlitzer from bankruptcy in September of 2013, minus any Jukebox manufacturing or parts. Deutsche-Wurlitzer (of Germany) now produces only vending machines, primarily for the European market May of 2018: Gibson Guitar Company declares bankruptcy with a $500 million dollar debt. Gibson plans to emerge from bankruptcy in September 2018 by selling off their consumer electronics business and giving a percentage of their company to their current lenders Today: We are able to restore, or repair the most popular models of Wurlitzer Jukeboxes (which are listed below).

Touch Here For Wurlitzer 1015 Jukebox Specifics 1946: World War II had just ended, supplies again became available, soldiers headed home and everyone in the U.S. seemed happy and ready to spend money. It was at this time that Wurlitzer introduced its most popular Jukebox model ever, the “Wurlitzer 1015 Jukebox”. The Wurlitzer 1015 featured 8 working bubble tubes and two rotating color wheels, located behind new, thinner illuminated plastics, attached by chrome castings all over the cabinet, and the “Electronic” Selector Buttons. All inside a Paul Fuller cabinet design The early versions of the Wurlitzer 1015 Jukebox, featured 5 lights in the top curved arch, a small one piece main door lock, and a flat collar style bearing in the selection heart shaped cam on the mechanism 1947: Sales are so good for the model 1015 jukebox, Wurlitzer continues production through 1947. This later Wurlitzer 1015 version, improved on some features. The arch lighting was reduced to three lights (which helped prevent the plastics from overheating and shrinking), a sliding lock bar was added to the main door lock (to improve security) and the heart shaped cam bearing was re-engineered into more of a donut shape (which helped reduce drag, making selections more accurate and quicker) The Wurlitzer 1015 Jukebox turned out to be the highest sales of any Wurlitzer Jukebox to date (almost 60,000 were sold over the course of 1946-1947) The Wurlitzer 1015 Jukebox features the Wurlitzer 24 play, 78rpm record mechanism, that holds 24 records horizontally (like a stack of pancakes).

This Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox Restoration is now ready for years of new use
Touch Here For Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox Specifics 1948: Wurlitzer introduces another new design. The Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox showing new from top to bottom. Though, it still had the Wurlitzer 24 play 78rpm Jukebox mechanism, it now featured a revolving title strip called the “Encore Program Selector”. Wurlitzer spent a lot of money and time engineering the Encore Program Selector. Its purpose was to speed up the selection making process by offering eight selections at a time, on a revolving, three sided title assembly (all in a compact design). The Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox also featured a new Paul Fuller cabinet design based on a space age look. The Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox was the first to use a clear, full plastic dome called the “Sky-Top”, to view the mechanism. Now, the customer could see much more of the mechanism. The Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox was also the first to use the Zenith Cobra Tone Arm. It was the first light weight tone arm to be used in a commercial phonograph. The Wurlitzer 1100 was the first to use a one piece, all Aluminum front door. The back door was re-designed as well. Gone was the seperate rear door lock, in its place was an internal door latch accessed from the front. The Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox was the first to use three piano type casters, to self level on uneven floors. And Wurlitzer re-designed many internal parts, specifically for quick removal in the field. According to the sales brochure, this allowed for removal of parts up to 100 times faster than previous Wurlitzer Jukebox models Also in 1948: Seeburg Jukebox (a competitor) introduces a new Jukebox mechanism that would prove tough for Wurlitzer. The Seeburg A Jukebox with its new Select-o-matic mechanism, offering “100” selections 1949: Having just spent quite a lot of money designing and manufacturing the Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox, and needing time to react to the new Seeburg A Select-o-matic mechanism, Wurlitzer continued to manufacture the Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox through 1949. It is thought, the one model only “Encore” selector feature (used on the Wurlitzer 1100), was intended for use on future Wurlitzer Jukebox models, (simply because of how much time and money was spend on its design). This too could have been canceled due to the 100 selection Seeburg A Wurlitzer sold 16,200 of the model 1100 Jukebox, (over the course of 1948-1949) Dimensions: 58″ tall, 31″ wide, 27″ deep and 355 #’s Grand America Jukebox offers three options for your Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox Touch here to see pricing table below View our main Jukeboxes page to see everything included in both Full and Partial Restorations Email photos of your Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox to get a quote

1938-1949 Wurlitzer Jukebox Restoration Pricing
Wurlitzer Jukebox Restoration Pricing. Given these 24 play Wurlitzer Jukeboxes are quite old and have usually been sitting around (not used) for many years or even decades, they will require quite a bit of work to get them going and made reliable again. This is far more than a simple repair, they require some type of restoration or rebuilding. We find once the Jukebox has been rebuilt, the major electronics and mechanical usually last around 15 years or so. By 20 years, the quality has gone down, and they need to be rebuilt again. If your Wurlitzer Jukebox was rebuilt less than 10 years ago, and you are having a problem, it can usually be repaired simply and inexpensively. However, if your Jukebox was rebuilt more than 10 years ago (or never was) and you are having a problem, you might as well have it rebuilt.
Grand America Jukebox offers three Restoration options for your 1938-1949 Wurlitzer Jukebox
- Full Restoration
- Partial Restoration
- Or Electronics and Mechanical only
Let’s start with the basics first, the Electronics and Mechanical only Restoration. Because if your Jukebox does not work and work reliably, what is the point? For the Electronics and Mechanical only Restoration option, we rebuild the lower section on the 24 play mechanism. We remove the mechanism from the cabinet, disassemble everything below the wood mechanism board, clean, install new bushings/bearings and other misc. parts as needed. We then re-assemble and adjust. We also update the cartridge on the tone arm to a newer light weight set up and install new rubber bushings. For models 750E through 1100, we rebuild the electrical selector button assembly. We also rebuild the Wurlitzer Jukebox amplifier, volume control, replace all vacuum tubes, and install a new power cord. We then check out the speaker, and rebuild or replace as needed. Those are the main arteries that make your Wurlitzer Jukebox function and sound good. Performing this basic Restoration option alone will allow your Wurlitzer Jukebox to work well for around 15 years or so. Having just one of these items rebuilt will only allow that item to work well. Given the age of the Jukebox, you really need to have all these items rebuilt at the same time. All this included for around $5500.00
Our Wurlitzer Jukebox Partial Restoration option includes everything mentioned above in the Electronics and Mechanical Only Restoration. Additionally, we clean the Jukebox cabinet, glass and chrome, replace all lighting and update to the new, electronic ballasts and/or LED, replace coin and selection number plastics (on models 500 – 850), lighted grill diffusers, grill cloth and casters. Make sure all door locks work, have keys and include a nice copy of the original manual. This way, your Wurlitzer Jukebox works, sounds great and now looks great without the cost of a Full Restoration. All this included for around $6500.00- $8000.00
And our Wurlitzer Jukebox Full Restoration option includes everything mentioned above in both options. Additionally, we re-chrome all castings and re-finish the wood cabinet, inside and out. We replace any flaking glass. Your Wurlitzer Jukebox will look like brand new. Every last nut, bolt and screw get replaced or restored. All this included for around $24,000.00

Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox Restoration
Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox Restoration and Repair. Grand America Jukebox performed a Partial Restoration on this 1956 Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox. Our Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox Restoration consisted of rebuilding the Wurlitzer amplifier and all electronics, replaced all lighting and updated to the new electronic ballast, new power cord, casters, turntable motor grommets, motor mounts, turntable belt, tone arm spring, and cartridge.

Touch Here For The 1956 Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox Specifics In 1950, the new 45 rpm record was introduced which changed the way Jukeboxes performed. Playing both sides of the record quickly became the norm. Customers demanded more selections, and the competition from Seeburg Jukebox was strong. Wurlitzer struggled for four years to adapt their 1940’s, 24 play mechanism to not only play 45’s, but play both sides as well. In 1954, they built a whole new mechanism specifically for the 45 rpm record. It was introduced in the Wurlitzer 1700 Jukebox. Available in mono or the new “High-Fidelity” audio (Hi-Fi had just been introduced the year before, 1953). Having to “One UP” the competitions 100 play mechanism, Wurlitzer’s new Jukebox mechanism could play 104 selections (52 records, playing both sides). This 104 play mechanism was used exclusively in the Wurlitzer 1700 (1954), 1800 (1955) and 1900 (1956) Jukeboxes. In 1956, Wurlitzer introduced its first 200 play mechanism, in the Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox. Now, If a customer had the budget and a larger location, they might choose the 200 play. If they had a smaller location the 104 play was available at less cost 1956: Wurlitzer introduces the Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox (called the “Centennial”). With Hi-Fidelity sound, the Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox featured the 104 play mechanism, and a new cabinet with a wrap around glass mechanism dome (advertised as the “Super-Vu”). This helped to simplify record and title strip changing. The front grill featured two glass light up pilasters with star shapes, that cast a soft green glow on the grill screen. A complete, late 50’s modern look (at the time) taking its cues from the auto industry, with much more glass and chrome. Sales began to rise with the Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox, (around 9,000 for the 1956 model year). Also using this same cabinet design, was the Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox of 1956, (featuring 200 selections). Of the 1950’s Wurlitzer Jukeboxes, the most collectable and valuable seem to be the Wurlitzer 1900 – 2100 Dimensions: 56″ tall, 34″ wide, 28″ deep, and 323#’s Grand America Jukebox offers three options for your Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox Touch here to see pricing table below View our main Jukeboxes page to see everything included in both Full and Partial Restorations Email photos of your Wurlitzer 1900 Jukebox to get a quote

Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox Restoration and Repair. Grand America Jukebox performed a Partial Restoration on this 1956 Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox. Our Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox Restoration consisted of rebuilding the Wurlitzer amplifier and all electronics, replaced all lighting and updated to the new electronic ballast, new power cord, casters, turntable motor grommets, motor mounts, turntable belt, tone arm spring, and cartridge. We clean, lubricate, and adjust the Wurlitzer Jukebox mechanism, cleaned the cabinet, glass, and chrome
Overall, this Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox Restoration was pretty solid when it arrived. Cosmetically, the grill had been dented (which we repaired). We also replaced the top glass “Wurlitzer” marquee. For the lower grill area, we replaced the two glass pilasters and colored foil (which gives it the nice, soft green glow). This Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox Restoration is now ready for years of new use
We also rebuilt the selector buttons and replaced many decals and instruction plastics
Probably the most noticeable though, was the side cabinet. This Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox Restoration arrived with sides painted Blue. We restored both sides to the original finish
Touch Here For The 1956 Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox Specifics In 1950, the new 45 rpm record was introduced which changed the way jukeboxes performed. Playing both sides of the record quickly became the norm. Customers demanded more selections, and the competition from Seeburg was strong. Wurlitzer struggled for four years to adapt their 1940’s, 24 play mechanism to not only play 45’s, but play both sides as well. In 1954, they build a whole new mechanism specifically for the 45 rpm record. It was introduced in the Wurlitzer 1700 Jukebox. Available in mono or the new “High-Fidelity” audio (Hi-Fi had just been introduced the year before, 1953). Seeburg introduced its first 200 selection Jukebox in 1955. In 1956, Wurlitzer introduced its first 200 play mechanism in the Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox. Now, if a customer had the budget and a larger location, they might choose the 200 play. If they had a smaller location, the 104 play was available at less cost 1956: Wurlitzer introduces its first 200 selection mechanism in the Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox (called the “Centennial”). With Hi-Fidelity sound and sharing the same cabinet as the Wurlitzer 1900 (of the same year), the Wurlitzer 2000 featured a new cabinet with a wrap around glass mechanism dome (advertised as the “Super-Vu”). This helped to simplify record and title strip changing. With a mechanism offering up to 200 selections, more room was needed to display title strips. Wurlitzer introduced a motorized page turner. By simply pushing a page turn button, the title pages would flip to display another 40 song choices (this feature alone draws many collectors to the W-2000). The front grill featured two glass light up pilasters with star shapes (that cast a soft green glow on the grill screen). A complete, late 50’s modern look (at the time) taking its cues from the auto industry, with much more glass and chrome. Since the 200 selection Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox was sold at a higher cost than the 104 selection model 1900 of the same year, Wurlitzer only sold around 4,000 (making the Wurlitzer 2000 pretty rare). Of the 1950’s Wurlitzer Jukeboxes, the most collectable and valuable seem to be the Wurlitzer 1900 – 2100 Dimensions: 56″ tall, 34″ wide, 28″ deep, and 375#’s Grand America Jukebox offers three options for your Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox Touch here to see pricing table below View our main Jukeboxes page to see everything included in both Full and Partial Restorations Email photos of your Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox to get a quote

Our 2200 Wurlitzer Jukebox Partial Restoration consists of rebuilding the Wurlitzer Jukebox amplifier and all electronics, updating the power supply to a new bridge rectifier that will provide more stable power, replacing all lighting and updating to the new electronic ballast, new power cord, casters and we clean the jukebox cabinet, glass and chrome

Touch Here For The 1958 Wurlitzer 2200 Jukebox Specifics In 1950, the new 45 rpm record was introduced which changed the way jukeboxes performed. Playing both sides of the record quickly became the norm. Customers demanded more selections, and the competition from the Seeburg Jukebox company was strong. Wurlitzer struggled to adapt their 1940’s, 24 play mechanism to the new format, with not much success. So they designed a whole new mechanism specifically for the 45 rpm record. It was introduced in 1954 with the Wurlitzer 1700 Jukebox. Available in mono or the new “High-Fidelity” audio (Hi-Fi had just been introduced the year before, 1953 by Seeburg). Having to “One UP” the competitions 100 play 45 rpm mechanism, Wurlitzer’s new Jukebox mechanism could play 104 selections (52 records, playing both sides). This 104 play mechanism was used exclusively for the Wurlitzer 1700 (1954), 1800 (1955) and 1900 (1956) Jukeboxes, then becoming optional through 1961. In 1956, Wurlitzer introduced its first 200 play mechanism in the Wurlitzer 2000 Jukebox. So, if a customer had the budget and a larger location, they might choose the 200 play. If they had a smaller location, the 104 play was available at less cost. With two mechanisms to choose from, Wurlitzer needed to simplify its model numbers. Beginning in 1957 and continuing, Wurlitzer changed the model number designation to indicate the amount of selections each Jukebox offered. This was reflected in the last two digits of the Jukebox model number. Wurlitzer offered the 104 play mechanism up to 1961 (in the Wurlitzer 2504 Jukebox) 1958: Wurlitzer introduces the Wurlitzer 2200 Jukebox and the Wurlitzer 2204 Jukebox. Both featuring the 45 rpm mechanism, a new cabinet and a Super Sized, all glass mechanism dome (which helped to simplify record and title strip changing). Inside the new glass dome, Wurlitzer featured another first, an illuminated wrap around mechanism shelf. This (coupled with the new super sized dome) made the whole mechanism area glow in attraction. The Wurlitzer 2200 Jukebox series featured “High-Fidelity” sound with three 12″ woofers and a 4″ tweeter. All in a new “Low Boy” designed cabinet. A complete, modern look (for the time). Taking its cues from the auto industry, with much more glass and chrome. Later in the 1958 model year, Wurlitzer introduced yet another first on this same model series, “Stereo”sound. The first true “Two Channel” sound in a coin operated phonograph (the “Stereo” version is “2200-S”). Since the Stereo version was made very late in the model year, very few were ordered (making them quite rare). Sales records show Wurlitzer only made (and shipped) one model 2204-S Dimensions: 54″ tall, 36″ wide, 28″ deep, and 364#’s Grand America Jukebox offers three options for your Wurlitzer 2200 Jukebox Touch here to see pricing table below View our main Jukeboxes page to see everything included in both Full and Partial Restorations Email photos of your Wurlitzer 2200 Jukebox to get a quote

Touch Here For The 1959 Wurlitzer 2300 Jukebox Specifics 1959: The first Stereo amplifiers were introduced by many Jukebox manufactures. Wurlitzer had introduced Stereo in the model 2200-S, late in the 1958 model year. But, not many had sold because of the late introduction. For the 1959 model year, Wurlitzer introduced both, the Wurlitzer 2300 Jukebox (with Hi-Fi sound), and the Wurlitzer 2300S Jukebox (with Stereo sound) The Wurlitzer 2300 Jukebox features the 200 play mechanism Also offered, were the Wurlitzer 2304 Jukebox (104 selections) and for the first time (an even less expensive) the Wurlitzer 2310 Jukebox (featuring 100 selections) Each Wurlitzer Jukebox model could be ordered with or without the Stereo option, and all featured the same, new cabinet design for 1959. Six Wurlitzer Jukeboxes models in total Stereo was the last big advancement for Wurlitzer Jukebox. After the 1959 Wurlitzer 2300S Jukebox model year, sales began to decline. Wurlitzer produced two more models, (the 2400 and 2500) for the early 1960’s, that seem to still have a small following. But, as the years progressed, the viewable, inner workings of the mechanism began to disappear more and more, as the new “Console” Era took over. Beginning with the 3100 series of 1967, Wurlitzer cut corners in an effort to save money, by opting for more plastic parts on their mechanisms. But, this only made the mechanisms less reliable, finally forcing Wurlitzer U.S. to close its doors in 1974 Dimensions: 52″ tall, 34″ wide, 28″ deep and 324 #’s Grand America Jukebox offers three options for your Wurlitzer 2300 Jukebox Touch here to see pricing table below View our main Jukeboxes page to see everything included in both Full and Partial Restorations Email photos of your Wurlitzer 2300 Jukebox to get a quote Contact us 636-928-1010

1956-1960 Wurlitzer Jukebox Restoration Pricing
Wurlitzer Jukebox Restoration Pricing. Given these 45 rpm Wurlitzer Jukeboxes are quite old and have usually been sitting around (not used) for many years or even decades, they will require quite a bit of work to get them going and made reliable again. This is far more than a simple repair, they require some type of restoration or rebuilding. We find once the Jukebox has been rebuilt, the major electronics and mechanical usually last around 15 years or so. By 20 years, the quality has gone down, and they need to be rebuilt again. If your Wurlitzer Jukebox was rebuilt less than 10 years ago, and you are having a problem, it can usually be repaired simply and inexpensively. However, if your Jukebox was rebuilt more than 10 years ago (or never was) and you are having a problem, you might as well have it rebuilt.
Grand America Jukebox offers three Restoration options for your 1954-1960 Wurlitzer Jukebox
- Full Restoration
- Partial Restoration
- Or Electronics and Mechanical only
Let’s start with the basics first, the Electronics and Mechanical only Restoration. Because if your Jukebox does not work and work reliably, what is the point? For the Electronics and Mechanical only Restoration option, we degrease and lube the mechanism bearings. Then replace the turntable rubber motor mounts, grommets and turntable belt and make adjustments to the mechanism. For Hi-Fidelity models, we replace the Cobra cartridge on the tone arm. We rebuild the electrical selector button assembly. We also rebuild the Wurlitzer Jukebox amplifier, replace the volume control, update the power supply, replace all vacuum tubes, and install a new power cord. We rebuild or replace the speakers. Those are the main arteries that make your Wurlitzer Jukebox function and sound good. Performing this basic Restoration option alone will allow your Wurlitzer Jukebox to work well for around 15 years or so. Having just one of these items rebuilt will only allow that item to work well. Given the age of the Jukebox, you really need to have all these items rebuilt at the same time. All this included and a new manual for around $3500.00
If your speakers need to be rebuilt, add $950.00
Our Wurlitzer Jukebox Partial Restoration option includes everything mentioned above in the Electronics and Mechanical Only Restoration. Additionally, we clean the Jukebox cabinet, glass and chrome. Replace all lighting and update to the new, electronic ballasts and/or LED. Replace all plastic selector buttons, and any instruction plastics, lighted grill diffusers (if any) and casters. We make sure all door locks work, have keys and include a nice copy of the original manual. This way, your Wurlitzer Jukebox works, sounds great and now looks great without the cost of a Full Restoration. All this included for around $5500.00
And our Wurlitzer Jukebox Full Restoration option includes everything mentioned above in both options. Additionally, we re-chrome all castings and re-finish the wood cabinet, inside and out. Your Wurlitzer Jukebox will look like brand new. Every last nut, bolt and screw get replaced or restored. All this included for around $11,000.00

This time however, featuring a 100 CD album mechanism, computer controlled, and stereo sound. It featured the Wurlitzer K-99 amplifier with RCA connections, (making it much easier to connect to other devices). The big draw though was the title page touch screens. Two touch screens allowed the customer to flip through selections. They would then choose a selection by pressing the selector buttons on the front. The jukebox owner entered the selection artwork using a scanner located inside the Jukebox The Wurlitzer Classic 2100 CD Jukebox was sort lived though. Another Jukebox company (Touchtunes) held the rights which allowed a customer to make selections by means of touch screen.
