Those ‘ visible’ juke box’s are old school cool

Yup!

I had (past tense) two Seeburg "trashcans" at one time, and while they were pretty cool to look at, I grew-up with a "visible" 1452 Rockola, and I really enjoyed watching the mechanisms, so when space got tight, the Seeburgs had to go.

It’s not easy to go through family heirlooms. Good on you to step up. And you have a lot of friends here

Thanks Pete, I'll have to stay in touch with everyone so when I sell stuff I can get some opinions on what it's worth.
I'm giving all the money to my sister, only thing I want is a few trinkets I can hang in my garage.
 
:lol:

I had it all done in 2017, and if memory serves, I think it took them a little less than a month. I could have got it done faster/sooner, but I (mistakenly) said I wanted it "done right, not done right now", so they put a "show chrome" finish on everything. Looks great, but it was a complete PITA to reassemble the small parts as I had to grind some of the plating off to make parts fit together properly.

Yeah. That's a fact. I remember when Kitty's step mother died. They all met over at the old family house to look through stuff and pick out some things. We got there and they gave Kitty a box about the size of a large flat rate box and said "here, we picked out your stuff" and that's all she got. Not that material things matter. But they had met over there much earlier than they told everyone else and gone through everything already. Even in death that evil old woman still treated Kitty like a red headed step child through the hate of others. Makes me sick to think about it again.

Lots of stories to tell Chris, mostly with the 59 Vette. I did the bodywork and paint on it when I was a teen and it's been in the garage ever since. Also stories about the 30 Ford A convertible he has.

I had a 1960 Corvette. Was originally a fuely car. Never got the fuley motor with it. But I bought it when I was 18 years old and I restored it myself. Back then you could still buy Chevrolet bumpers new. So I didn't have to have a lot of stuff Chromed but I did have to have some stuff Chromed and it was expensive then... Kept that car for 40 years before I sold it...
