Two Seeburg V200 videos

[rickr]

My restored V200 Seeburg from 1955, and Mookie dancing.

Xmas came early for us....A new Kodak digital camera.

I made another video with just a close up of the record playing also.

Be sure to click on the High Quality Option on both videos. The detail is very good!

This one of the record playing only

Again, use the high def. option.

Great juke, Rick! It's beautiful. And Mookie's dancing adds to the festivity. Thanks for posting the video and have fun with your new camera.

Thanks guys! This is a fun juke to have. It is a keeper for me.

I restored this machine in 2005.

It is a 1955 Seeburg V200

Beautiful Restoration!

Hi Rick, I just posted a note at YouTube about this machine! Judging from the pictures this was a labor of love! I envy you for taking the time to strip the machine all the way down and bring it back to life one step at a time! How much time did you spend on this project? I know I spent weeks and weeks tearing down my SS-160 and putting it back together. I had to rewire the tone arm on my machine. It's NOT a fun job and requires skill and patience fishing the wires through those tiny holes! Soldering the wires to the spade lugs that attach to the cartridge wasn't fun either! They are so small!

Happy Holidays! - Mike

Rick, is that the original "redhead" cartridge?

 

[rickr]

Yes it is a redhead. Seeburg hi-fi magnetic

Thank you Mike! I restored this Seeburg during the winter a few years ago, so it took about 5 months. This is the second Seeburg restoration for me. The first one was a Q160.

Another great restoration Rick!

It's just beautiful. Thanks for the videos too. Do you still have your other juke's?

By the way, I couldn't help but notice the turquoise frigidaires in the background of the front-view pic. Last time I saw those they were coppertone!

Hi Nelson! Good to see you posting again. I sold the Q160 Seeburg when I bought the V200. I still have the 1939 Mills Empress juke though. I will make a video of it sometime also.

Yes, the 66 Frigidaires are turquoise. Will make videos and take pixs to post on that soon also. Just finished that set before Thanksgiving, and it has just been too hectic with the purchase of the other house and all.
