   General Collecting Question

   Hello, all.  Just wondering why anyone would want to collect a jukebox   
   that doesn't play 45 and/or 78 rpm records and has the record selecting   
   and playing mechanism clearly visible to the customer.  I came of age in   
   the mid-1950s to mid-1960s era and half the fun of a jukebox was   
   watching the record being picked and, of course, the music on it being   
   played.  AMI/Rowe and Wurlitzer boxes were particularly fun to watch   
   IMHO.  The machines that came out in the 1970s didn't have the mechanics   
   on display (which probably didn't bother most folks).  Thanks for your   
   time and any comment.  Sincerely,   
   --
