Mini-meet Wash-In lunch

[brianl]

No problem!

Your picture taking was much appreciated.

Thank you to everyone who came yesterday, it was quite enjoyable. Some people I met for the first time, I appreciated the chance to have met you. Everyone enjoyed their lunch it seemed. Maybe next time I will have to host a meal instead for everyone!

Laundry time was fun, as it was actual laundry day for me anyway. We had plenty of clothing to occupy the time. How we all managed to squeeze down in my laundry room, was a whole other story! While the washers were cranking away downstairs, the jukebox was playing away upstairs for most of the day.

Seems like the 1-18, given to me by Eddie, was the star of the show. Maybe one day I will get my Unimatic up and running too. I must thank Eric for his donation of a Maytag gas dryer to back up my Kenmore, which I have to hook up yet.

About the jukebox

It is a 1973/74 Wurlitzer 1050. There was about 2000 made before the company went out of business. It holds 50 45's, so 100 selections. To see it in action, it is an amazing piece of technology for its time. It was currently on free-play, so records were cranking away all day. Now to get more records, maybe someone by the name of Darren who told me he had some may be so kind lol.

Happy faces and I-18's

What a nice way to start the day. Thanks for sharing the fun. Pete, the angled shot of the circle jet spray is pretty cool.

 

You can tell from your faces how much you enjoyed each other's company. Lifts us up.

Peter, thank you for the wonderful closeups of that GE dryer too.  Have never seen one like that in person!!!

 

[chestermikeuk]

Great..

Looks like you all had a grand time, nothing like an impromptu mini-meet and just turning up...good to see the names behind the faces...

The thought of the Juke Box playing and laundry being done with vintage machines and new & old friends is as good s it gets in our world!!

Ta for sharing, Mike

My iPhone is just a tad too small !!! I will write more later

Thanks Again to all. I had a Nice Time and maybe will have a gathering in Mass.

Jaime.....you must join us at the next one of these meets when you get back!

 

[DirectDriveDave]

Wow guys, this whole thing looked awesome!

I'd love to possibly attend one of these things in the future.

 

[Catalanman]

Thank you Martin, let see if its possible the next time I'll be there, would like it!

To Peter-Wish I were there...

Hi Guys!

Last weekend I "met" Peter(peteski50)on the phone, we had a very nice chat. I only wish I were able to attend your meeting/lunch, it is apparent all of you had such fun! Especially, if a get-together is in Westchester or Northern NJ, I can get there easily by car. Too bad it seems only one guy(Jerry) lives on Long Island. I am not able to go many places I wish to, due to very limited funds. There is nothing more satisfying to me than to be able to meet-in person-new like-minded people!

Best regards,
Jason

Great photos guys! I always love seeing a 1-18 pound through a load of clothes, and finish it off with the circle spray!

 

[toggleswitch]

LOL there are a few of us on Long Island...........

Great to see you all moving

Hi All

Just took a quick snap of my AMI 200. For my 40th, My partner asked if I wanted a new car or the box many many cars later I still have the AMI.

What a nice jukebox!

Looks like a very well kept machine. I have always been a sucker for the Wurlitzer booming-like sound. Even with the bass on very low, the speakers still kick. How's yours sound? How many records does your hold? Mine is a 50 record, 100 selection machine.

Juke Box

The AMI holds 100 records 200 plays, The sound is booming. Ship'd from US to UK and reconditioned to near mint. it had a full re-chrome and re-wire it was made in the mid 1960s are you sure about the date on yours?

 

[brianl]

Yes, the 1050's were made in 73 to 74 right before Wurlitzer went out of business. Then a company bought the name and made the Sonata 1050's which were badly made, ruining the name in my opinion.
