Back 10 years ago, a nice gentlman named Keith O'Connor came a long way to my repair shop after finding out that I did restorations on vintage equipment, including jukeboxes.
It's a time consuming and tedious job, but it kept me fed, and paid my bills.
Keith was an older musician who produced some "oldies" style "bee-bop" music in the 50's and 60s.
His wife came in with him, and she reminded me of Connie Francis.
Anyhow, I've done several of these mini jukeboxes, and word got out, so this Music Mite restoration was his request. - It needed all the internal electrical and mechanicals restored.
The mechanism is very complex and difficult to work on in such a cramped cabinet.
I also had to do a re-painting of the pushbutton panel and selection numbers, speaker grille and repaint the record changer, all in the original gold satin color, plus installing a new modern phono cartridge and overhauling the tub amp.
Here's the finished product, and Keith even made a mention of ME in the video!
