    Ill start with this... it's in another corner. There must be a few more between you guys, so post em!

    A Rock-Ola Regis 120....it's loud and it's heavy! dates to 1961.

    Jukeboxes are a little big for me, but I do like music, vintage stuff, and catalin (a precursor to bakelite that was used for some of the decorative parts on jukeboxes). Here's a catalin radio I just got, which I'll be restoring shortly.

    Yep it's pretty big!

    I've seen catalin radios in some pretty bright colours..so much more character than a modern one! Be great to see how it turns out.

    No juke boxes. But I've always admired them!

    Absolutely love it...................I may move house later this year and it's on my 'want' list.

    Just out of interest and starting at the top of the play list on the left hand side, let us know the first 3 songs listed!

    @Spike Great...do it, they make a room!

    Right, so in no real order of preference the 1st 3 are...

    1, Smokey Robinson and the Miracles: The tracks of my tears.
    2, Ike and Tina Turner: River deep, mountain high.
    3, The Rolling Stones: 19th nervous breakdown.

    A trio of winners.......I'm convinced.

    Just said to my wife, "we're getting a jukebox when we move"..........."great" she answers!

    Then follows up with "why haven't you bought a watch for a while"?

    She's a keeper.
