Saving a trash can Seeburg Juke Box... from the trash can HD 1080p

This derelict Jukebox was nearly too far gone, I attempt to re assemble it to see if it can be saved from becoming a parts machine.

[@01baia]

My generation LOVED jukeboxes! There was always a tear-jerker country song, a rock'n'roll classic, at least a dozen songs that were already ten years old and - just occasionally - something you really loved! 😍😍

[@renpilak6048]

Did you just say “so, you have something to keep you busy for a while”? You’re an amazing one-of-a-kind super human, Alex Archbold!

[@shelleynobleart]

Right?! He had 5 minutes between trips from the musician's house and the auction house! Sheesh.

[@ElaineDStrictlyCDN]

He cant sit still.. imagine him as a kid in school lol

This video was made prior to the musicians house. Just released.

Hello, my name is Alex, I have a antique shop, I clean out hoarder homes, I also put together 75 year old juke boxes with no instructions. Holy cow, I see a Mercury space capsule for sale on ebay cheap, it needs to be refurbished, sounds like a job for Double A in Canada lol.

[@joanmilano5302]

It's wonderful that you're teaching Jason and letting him take an active role in this - he will benefit from this when he is an adult, plus, he will always remember this special time helping his dad. Maybe he will pass on what he has learned to his children. The jukebox looks great!

[@cindy_lou_loves_to_stitch]

Your son, Jason looks just like you! That's awesome you both are restoring this together!! Enjoy!

[@chuckles7524]

I was thinking Alex had his very own mini me 😊.

Unbelievable how much he looks like you!

He looks to be a great kid too . If he doesn’t watch out he’ll be as accomplished as his Dad .

I have an artist friend who paints her large canvases in a vintage Chanel suit and goes to the openings of her work in the same elegant suit, so seeing you in your Top Hat Threads in the workshop makes sense to me!

[@lazy986]

S.O.S., Old chrome's best friend when used properly. Everything that had ever broken on me in my life I took it apart and tried to repair. Most of them was a success, and some failed. But I learned so much. (12 years old found an old TV in the attic (b&w) used a file to the back of the picture tube just to see how the picture was made) should be be dead by now. Lol. But at the age of 56 I still take things apart to see how they tick when they die. One thing I learned early on that has saved me big headaches.. No matter the job, always initially turn the screw, nut or bolt counterclockwise to seat it properly. This will reduce cross threading %100. Love your channel.

[@AnnieNYC1]

More than the jukebox itself, I love how your son is part of it, spending time with you, working together, with you patiently letting him do things in his pace as he learns and gets credit for his assistance. THAT is a gift that cannot be measured in money or time. Priceless. Love this!

[@mem2bam]

Very cool. Can't wait to see the other ones. Loved watching Stephen working with you. Quality Father Son time. Great memories he'll have for the rest of his life.

[@mskellycareless]

Jason is really growing up wonderfully! So great to see him working with his Dad.

[@imzardoz]

A screw, a nut, a bolt only matters to those who could not even manage to do a video straight on to the world! Let alone not having to stop every 10 seconds to re-take the scene. They hide behind their keyboards criticizing what they can't do. You are a natural in front of the camera.

[@maximilianbridwell1970]

Loved watching you and your son work together, so many kids these days are only interested in video games.

[@reginaromsey]

Once your daughter is big enough be sure to include her and her interests! This is partly where my interests in medicine, chemistry, and sewing come from. My mother was a Pharmacist who sewed to keep us in clothes and toys, and my father kept her sewing machines in tables and mechanicals. Plus, dad and I put together my chemistry setups and Erector Sets with the electric motors. It has all come in handy over the last 70 years when other girls couldn’t change a screw or a tire!

Great job guys! What a unique juke box. At my age you would think I would have seen one of these since I was in the juke box days. Never seen one and it's beautiful! They need to bring juke boxes back. There was a feeling in the air where there was one of those. Loved sitting in a booth with one at every table eating and playing music.

fun to watch a kind of a wreck made new again...I was a teen at camp with my family, in 1968, we camped in upstate New York, and they had a recreational center for the teens, the coolest place, and yes, a fun jukebox, great memories, thanks so much! Always a good day when your videos show up, thank you and may God bless your new year. (just cried over the lovely musician video too! well done, thank you)

[@larrydavis7980]

I restored a 1946 trash can several years ago. (I believe yours is either a '47 or '48 judging by the grille.) It was a summer project. I found a reproduction of a service manual for it which made it a lot easier. When you have something like that, everyone that you know gives you their old 78rpm records because they can't play them any more. We ended up with about 350 of them. The machine holds 20, btw. It had a beautiful sound to it, especially the bass. Might mention the magnet on the back of that speaker will pull your fillings out it's so strong. We repainted, rewired, re everything until it shone. It was a great project and even greater machine. My dad had paid $25 for it years before that and when we sold it at the estate sale it went for $1000, and the guy got a keck of a deal, because I found out later that model was going for about $7000. In retrospect I wish I would have kept it. Good luck with yours.

[@tomadkins2866]

Cool find, Alex, and it was really neat watching you and Jason reassembling it. That was Seeburgs first "series" of Jukebox produced after WW-II, from 1946 to 1948. They were structurally and internally almost identical and only varied cosmetically each year. The record changer was a bit of a carryover from 1941, but the amplifier and speaker was a real "Window rattler". It's a great sounding machine when it is working.

[@LessThanThree76]

[@brendamayfuller8803]

A tip for anyone reassembling something with screws, bolts or nuts. To line up the threads, turn the screw, nut or bolt anticlockwise (backwards) until you feel a slight click, then turn it forwards.This will get it started in the right place so you don't cross thread it. This can be very important if you are putting screws into fragile old plastic. Hope this helps anyone reassembling things. Also, if you don't have any threadlock, a little nail polish will also stop the nuts working loose.

[@Carolbearce]

Pretty cool teaching Jason the “fun” of putting these crazy items together. Nice job!

[@laurasinkins6981]

A 3D printer would save a fortune on replacement parts! They aren't that expensive anymore!

[@emk7132]

Judt had this exact thought!

[@blondtape]

Coool

[@Ragnar8504]

Without someone being able to scan or more likely model the replacement parts it's utterly useless. 3D scanners are insanely expensive, at least good ones, and not that easy to use. In most instances you're better off designing the part in a 3D CAD software. Besides, all cheaper 3D printers are FFF printers, i.e. basically computer-controlled hot-glue guns that print layers and layers of thin strings of plastic. The finished print has a structure almost like wood grain from all these layers and requires considerable post-processing for a smooth finish. Adhesion between those layers isn't all that great either so the parts are prone to cracking. Honestly, I work with 3D printers and I'd say their everyday uses are still quite limited. If I were to DIY those red plastic parts, I'd probably try to make a mould and shape plexiglass over it or try to find someone who can do that for me.
