Welcome at Jukebox History.info

Introduction

Several years ago I got interested in Jukeboxes after visiting an special Jukebox exhibition in Museum Flehite in Amersfoort (The Netherlands). I was impressed by the changing mechanisms and colors of those machines.

Later on, I managed to buy some books about Jukeboxes but it was until a colleague of mine bought a AMI Model J Jukebox that I got really interested in the history of Jukeboxes. Since the price of Jukeboxes in Europe is quite high, I started buying some AMI WQ-200 wallboxes in the USA and have them shipped over to the Netherlands.

I was getting more and more curious about the manufacturers of jukeboxes and started to search the Internet. Unfortunately most sites only mention the different models and only a few have information or pictures about the production process or the factories.

With this site I try to fill the gap left behind by sites such as, the excellent one, from Tom DeCillis: Tomszone. Unfortunately this site is not often updated and is 'IN'complete.

I try to focus on information that is not often available and that I found over the years, some of it I own some of it I have seen somewhere else. You can expect to find on this site now or soon things like: copies of AMI Manuals (User, Service and Part manuals), AMI Service bulletins, Merchandising, Old Pictures, Pictures of WurliTzer ads, coins, Personnel badges, Envelopes etc....

My goal is to provide everything free of charge because I believe a lot of junk is sold over the Internet and my intention is to have this site as an "information only" site. I will build this site slowly, so check back regularly to see the new pages.
