Here's another one created by a Proton user I thought was pretty slick;

I have a 'thing' about really nice looking wood, so I still prefer Kevins
(awesome woodwork by the way), but this one's pretty cool too.

As a modern digital jukebox it is very nice but I still prefer the classic 40s/50s/60s looking jukeboxes

There arent that many places with Jukeboxes now. At one time almost every British pub had a jukebox and I used to be able to guarantee that I would own >95% of the songs on them. Now all the pubs have projectors or plasma screens and show SKY Sport on them all the time

I also prefer Pinball machines to Video Games

Thanks Guys!

Actually my influences were sparton radios http://www.all-unique.com/Sparton-History.html jukeboxes from the very beginning and old radios from the same time period which i used to collect. I just wanted it to be computer controlled with a complete sound system.

Once the lighting is done i think it will look awesome. Did you guys see the light grids and software that some friends and i wrote?

Sorry about the earlier posts, i just let somebody get under my skin and i should have known better because i'm better than that!

I love Art Deco as well, particular old Cimemas and other Art Deco buildings.

Saw the lighting stuff, looks good. I also noticed that you were a DJ for 25 years... I was a DJ from 1973 to 1991 and during the 90s maintained most of the disco equipment in my town (about 20 venues).

I've always been a electronics nut, I built some of my first dj equipment back in 1978 becuase there wasn't a real easy access for buying that type of equipment. I built my own mixer, speakers, amp and lighting. I have always been into lighting and later purchased some real cool stuff when I was making better money. I moved to another location still here in Ohio for work. When I moved i lost all of my customers. I used to work on equipment for a couple of bands and also did some sound work for a couple of local Chamber Of Commerce.

I built the juke because my wife would complain that she could never find my music or even know which case to look in. When i started it i was on a real tight budget and as the project continued i made some changes and got some better stuff. I have gad people ask why don't you put a flat screen in so it is also bigger. I told them i like the look and flat screen don't have as good of a picture than tube monitors. Besides it would mean cutting that all out and making a new bezel around the monitor. If you have seen old tv's and radios the screen or dial always looked small in comparison.

What I am looking to do with some pics is lighting control but i have alot to learn to get started. I plan on working with a couple of friends to design some new boards.

I great to know there is some people out there with similiar interests!

Gota Go For Now!

Nice job Jukeman.

I'm still a D.J. in nightclub here... and yes i remind those years I think everybody tried to build their own equipment. At least Mixer and Light Chaser. Mine was made with an old Commodore Vic-20

Good luck!

[jukeman]

Ah! Yes! The Vic20 and the Commodore64, that's what i learned programming on. Wow it's amazing how much we all have in common. I suppose you guys have been into remote control cars etc.

You guys need to keep checking my site, i am going to add a bunch of pictures.


Say what is a good book to learn the 4550 or pic projects?
