   Hello, and being an engineer by profession, I've always regretted when   
   later jukeboxes didn't have their record-picking mechanisms on prominent   
   display.  On earlier 78 and 45 rpm models one can immediately witness   
   the different approaches taken by the AMI/Rowe, Seeburg, and Wurlitzer   
   engineers to record selection, playing, and storage.  Wurlitzer, in   
   particular, designed their cabinets to be a visual experience inside and   
   out (more customers dropping in their coins).   
      
   Perhaps seeing the animated innards wasn't really all that important to   
   most folks.  Or was it that finally there wasn't room in the cabinet to   
   display the 100+ selections and give a glimpse of the mechanism?  Thanks   
   for your time and any comment.  Sincerely,
