Default 1961 Wurlitzer Jukebox- Huntington Beach, CA $3000obo Ready to Sell!

The 2500 series came along at a time when most jukebox manufacturers were beginning to hide their record playing mechanisms as well as the records. This was a transitional period for cabinet style. It was a time when rounded edges gave way to sharp corners. That said, the 2500 still seemed to have a "softer" yet classy look about it with its open, wide and rounded lid glass rounded front corner moldings.

By now, all the manufacturers had caught up with Seeburg in stereo and 200 selections, but by next year they were going to have to play "catch up" again following Seeburg’s switch to fully 'solid state' amplifiers. Therefore, the 2500 still had a nice powerful 2 channel, 'tube type' amplifier pushing two 12 - inch woofers and one 5 - inch round mid/high speaker.

Hello, and being an engineer by profession, I've always regretted when
later jukeboxes didn't have their record-picking mechanisms on prominent
display. On earlier 78 and 45 rpm models one can immediately witness
the different approaches taken by the AMI/Rowe, Seeburg, and Wurlitzer
engineers to record selection, playing, and storage. Wurlitzer, in
particular, designed their cabinets to be a visual experience inside and
out (more customers dropping in their coins).

Perhaps seeing the animated innards wasn't really all that important to
most folks. Or was it that finally there wasn't room in the cabinet to
display the 100+ selections and give a glimpse of the mechanism? Thanks
for your time and any comment. Sincerely,
