Not any more. I was a diesel/auto mechanic before I retired. I did several chass
is off/ ground up restorations on a few 1955 Desotos. Now, since I live in a con
do, I keep it to just jukeboxes. I've restored five units so far, with this last
project prob being my last. To date I've restored:
1 - Seeburg VL200
2 - Seeburg 222
3 - Wurlitzer 2300
4 - Seeburg LPC1
5 - Seeburg AY160
I usually sell them after restoring them to finance the next build. I kept the L
PC1. and I'm keeping the AY160, as it's one of the last Seeburgs that show the r
ecord mech playing the records.
It's a great hobby, but very difficult to do in a condo. The neighbors don't car
e for the paint smells, sanding, hammering, and noise. I had a shop at my old ho
use for the other rebuilds. It's just to complicated to do at the condo.
