Latest road trip. - Sun Jan 22 2017 07:45 AM
Here are my non gas & oil buys from my road trip to Nanaimo and Victoria.
The most desirable, collectible and iconic jukebox is the Wurlitzer 1015. It was the first jukebox made by Wurlitzer after the ban on the use of steel was lifted after the end of World War II. It was suppose to be built for only one year but due to the high demand it was built for 2 years 1946 and 1947. Total sales were in excess of 60,000. Which is the record for most jukeboxes sold of one model. Some of you may remember the 1015 from the TV series Happy Days.
This particular jukebox is Serial 1000497 meaning that it was built during the first few days of production. A very early jukebox. The Wurlitzer 4004 wall speakers are 20 serial numbers apart meaning they have been together for the past 70 years. The deluxe wall speaker is a reproduction but even so it worth over $2000.00.
Needless to say I'm very excited about this unrestored original jukebox and speakers.
