I may be getting a jukebox

[radiotvnut]

Today, I looked at a Jukebox that I could have bought for $40; but, I passed on it. It was an MSN brand 45 rpm box that looked to be from the late '80's. It was sitting outside under a covered overhang at an antiques mall. It was very dirty and looked to have had extreme moisture to the cabinet. There was a service date of '94 on it and it was full of country records from the early-to-mid '90's. It had a cloth speaker grille at the bottom. Above the grille, there was a glass where the mechanism could be seen. Then, the title strip area was on the top of the jukebox. The sides were made of particleboard with fake woodgrain finish. I talked to a friend, who knows more about jukeboxes than I do; and, he said these boxes were very problematic and that I did the right thing by leaving it alone. Before today, I'd never heard of an MSN branded box.

i have a seeburg lpc-1 from 1963 and a rockola gp 432.the seeburg is a great unit,heavy but a good performer.the rockola was purchased from ebay and although i got it very cheap,it wasnt as advertised.did get to manually play a record,amp is good and it sounded great.the gripper unit was gone and also some other parts seemed to disappeared in shipping.the lpc-1 was also purchased from ebay.older gentleman was going to a nursing home and he had to give it up.nice unit that needed some minor work to make perfect.the rockola is from 1966 and you can see the record through a small opening in the glass.always had a juke in my home since 1976

That sounds like maybe an NSM City 2...there was one at the laundromat when I was
in college. It used a mechanism a lot like a Seeburg where the record was played vertically.
