Stunning blue casting case (repainted, no scratches). Beautiful reproduction red lens with operation instructions .About the coin operated jukebox speaker: Rare indeed! Its very difficult ...to find any informationat allrelated to this particular jukebox speaker. In fact, this is likely to be the most information you can find on it without going to averydeep library. Talk about long tail! This is what is printed on the top of the speaker for the patrons to see: " Solotone Popular Recordings Equal of 2 full recordings for each 5 cents. Insert 1 to 15 coins Solotone Corp Los Angeles Calif".Its an interesting little piece of 1940s vintage equipment with a bit of character. Put your nickel or dime in the slot and enjoy the music coming from the centralized jukebox system. Nostalgia and good ol American capitalism combined to give good vibes to diner patrons.It was an interesting concept in diners at the time. It soon gave way to the tabletop jukebox song selector that allowed diner patrons to select the music they wanted to hear rather than just listening to a speaker with no control of the type of music being played. Of course, everyonein the diner would be listening to what you had selected to play. This would be one very unique way to bring a little piece of Americana into your home thatll take you way, way, way on back in time (if youve got some miles on you). Either that or give you a history lesson. The Solotone Entertainer coin operated jukebox speaker dates back to the 1940s and was a means in which to boost tavern and diner operator profits. It was used as a way to hopefully keep patrons seated at their table for a longer period of time enjoying music and talking in hopes that they would be ordering food and drinks while at the same time adding a little more to the bottom line. This little gem was found and then restored by some of our family members. Pretty much only the paint and red plastic cover on top; all the insides are original and untouched. I can tell that theyve put a lot of love energy into this projects. Im just happy that I was able to see it all in person.INTERNATIONAL buyers are always welcome. Please check each picture as they're part of the description.Please contact me if you have any questions.
