How about a cheap USB vinyl player, and a RPi that analyzes the music to
identify the track and album in order to play the digital version? :)

I did start a project to interface an old electromechanical jukebox, but
realized how limited the choice of music would be, unless I changed all
the labels to software-controllable displays - and that would have
turned it into a rather extensive project...
