1928 Capehart 28G Jukebox

first look and my awesome jukebox

[@stevejohnson1321]

I remain amazed -- just how much sound a folded horn delivers.

[@1953childstar]

It has a magnetic pickup, a tube amplifier and a paper cone speaker..

[@MadScientist267]

That's definitely a different take on shuffling records around. Would love to see the guts of this thing. Really cool.

[@ശബ്ദ.കണ്സൾട്ടന്റ്]

In 1928 oh What a great engineering 👏👌.I surprised..thanks for video.

[@Christian-Klaff]

Was für ein traumhaft wundervoll schönes Gerät! So eines hätte ich auch sehr gerne!😍

[@agostinodibella9939]

Wow, this machine must have been top of the line in its day, and only for the very wealthy!

[@grz66]

Very cool, nostalgic! Thanks for showing.

Thanks very much.

[@olddisneylandtickets]

Amazing machine with beautiful electronic sound amplification.

[@jackofalltradesmercury207]

Awesome 👍👍👍👍

[@magnapearl9506]

We innovate because of these old models. That's the wonders of engineering. Playing music is much easier now with just a click of the mouse in your computer.

[@MadScientist267]

And nowhere near as fun 🤷‍♂️

[@vinylkats6281]

Wow

[@PJBearstein]

I would play period records.

[@dariowiter3078]

Me too, but from the mid-to-late 1920s, since this machine is from that period of time. ☺️☺️☺️☺️☺️

[@gunnarthefeisty]

@@dariowiter3078 that's what period means

[@1960sRICH]

This Jukebox must have been a labor of love for you to find. Was there any restoration needed?

[@sergioalfredoayala2204]

[@paulocezarfernandes8303]

Poxa que invenção maravilhosa.

[@kathy07002]

Love this! Is this what they once called a Nickelodeon? Looks like new!

[@themirrorsofmymind]

Right when I saw the coin being put into the slot and the record starting to play, that old song from the "Time-Life" record collection commercials started to play in my head! *_"Someone put a nickel in_* *_In the nickelodeon_* *_All I want is huggin' you_* *_And music, music, music..."_* EDIT: I was born in 1972 and only ever heard that little snippet of that song in that 1980s commercial. Here's the actual song... kzbin.info/www/bejne/fom8qINshbOMiKM

[@brucemercer8458]

No, a nickelodeon referred to a coin in the slot piano. This is an early 1928? fabulous Capehart Orchestrope jukebox. Wonderful! Thanks for posting.

[@alanspagnolia9474]

That machine must of cost as much as a brand new car, when it came out - ESPECIALLY being a "CAPEHART" !!!

[@dominiquepijat1708]

ce modèle est particulier, sa doit être un 78 tours.jamais vue ce modèle, magnifique.

[@stevenhoelderich9490]

I ,wish, this wasn't, blacked out, so I ,can enjoy it.

[@robfriedrich2822]

Was this initially acoustic and later changed to electric playback?

[@1953childstar]

In the "transitional" time, when the magnetic cartridges were implemented, it was easier ( and there was an abundance of the older acoustic tonearms ), they used up all the "old stock".. Later ( evidenced by RCA ) other tone arms were designed.. Eventually the arms became lighter and diamond needles took the place of steel needles. Record composition changed as well. less slate was incorporated into the mixture and various materials were being experimented with,. Columbia had a heavy paper core on some, others were using styrene, nylon compositions, and of course vinyls..

[@robfriedrich2822]

@@1953childstar First came the sapphire. Diamond pickup existed, was used by Edison, but in the mid 1930's came a light weighted pickup.

[@pafoofnic]

Way cool!

[@chuckdieselkicksdisks2380]

Amazing.

[@gunnarthefeisty]

wonder how it sounds with records from 1928.

[@mr.grumpygrumpy2035]

This must have cost a pretty penny when it was new.

[@jorgearmandosaavedracastro1745]

Estas maquinas son mas antiguas que las rokolas wulitzer y entre otros modelos

[@gunnarthefeisty]

Whats the record played at the end?

[@MAGNUM05]

Was this unit restored? It sure looks like it

[@ronalddaub5049]

I see that has a mechanical tonearm does it ever go into a amplifier?

[@vibingwithvinyl]

It does have an amplifier.

[@madmanmechanic8847]

I do Marine repair and restore muscle cars and I have no clue how in the hell they engineered that ? No computer just plain intelligence with a pencil and drafting it out . And its American made with pride when they gave a shit about quality

[@bobboscarato1313]

Over designed instrument.
