[Vintage-Audio] Jukeboxes, Remember Them?

[Duane B. Fischer, W8DBF]

Knock off the snoring guys, it is loud enough to set off motion sensors in the
next county! I have a few questions, so wake up and get with the program!	
	
Remember those wonderful sounding, generally quite attractive, chrome - gleaming
glass - flashing colored lights - jukeboxes that just psychologically begged you
to deposit your last quarter into their outstretched coin slot? I think they
typically held a hundred 45 rpm singles. They were generally changed every week,
or was it two weeks? 	
	
Now I am sure that some of you probably worked in a burger joint, maybe a bar,
or some other place that had a jukebox. I will bet that when nobody was looking,
you got into it and checked out what was inside, right?	
	
What did they typically use for speakers? How about crossovers? What kind of
continuous RMS audio output power did the amp with what, 6L6 tubes, generate?	
	
Some jukeboxes used an eighteen inch woofer to create that bass rumble that
mixed the malted milks when the blender was not working! I think some others
used combinations of twelve inch, eight inch and a tweeter mix.	
	
Enlighten me guys, how much power did they punch out?	
	
Thanks!
