Hi all,
I just signed up to this group. I've always enjoyed jukeboxes.
Unfortunately, I wasn't old enough to take part in the vending business and
mantinance of them (ex. changing records, repairing, etc.). That would've
been a fun job.
I'd like to hear from those of you who were in this business back in the
record (and even CD) days. What was it like to haul a bunch of new
records/CD's to a bar or restaurant and change the selections? Did you show
up early before they were open for business or would you be there with
people around wondering what you were doing? Any horror stories you'd like
share (like, did a jukebox go haywire and bust up a bunch of discs, or a
terribly worn needle trashing records, or heavy cigarrette smoke on
records)? Who had a favorite record that was in the box that you couldn't
take out?
I'm sure there's plenty of jukebox related stories out there and I'd really
like to hear them.
Thanks,
TheRollingRocker
