juke boxes

so i just got a call to go pick up 2 juke boxes on friday. i searched here and cldnt find anything on them. has anyone ever tear one apart? is there anything good in them? idk if they play cd's or records. all i know is the guy had them for a year trying to sell them on craigslist and wont sell.

I've gutted a few CD players. There's a large transformer, some wiring, a few low grade boards, and the speakers. I would just assume the components would just be bigger?

I found a Rockola one last fall, it appears to be all there but it was in 2 pieces so I've seen the inside. It's a 1970's something version and appears to have tons of goodies inside it. It's been sitting in the garage, still back an forth as to see if I could sell it for parts or keep it and see if we could make it work again.

ok will let u know friday when i pick them up.

looks like they'd sell to go in family/party/entertainment rooms

if they won"t sell there is a reason for that

the cd ones are a dime a dozen the record ones have HUGE collectabliilty even just for parts

I'd have no clue what a tube amp is but I'll take a few pics and if I have a part you'd need I'd be interested in getting rid of it.

***That's of course if sweeny doesn't have the part your looking for.

HArd to miss a tube anything. You will see a bunch of plug in little glass "tubes" inside.

i have an old tube stereo, it was old when i gave $2 for it about 1975. It's laying on the ground in a barn that's all but fallen down. Some of the wood has mostly rotted, and it's been kicked around by wayfaring cattle, but the tubes are still there :D

Thanks for the pic. There was a bunch of these in an old radio I got once, they had an aluminum tube that slid over top of them. These ones were probably about 3-4in. tall and about 1 1/2in round.

But he's want the whole amplifier that the tubes plug into, it takes a tiny sound and boosts the audio volume on it to a nice loud level.
