It even sounds like cockroaches. The uniselectors clacking away like that.
I am disappointed. I thought he was going to use the Seeburg jukebox mech. in conjunction with the display to give a readout of the record in play or perhaps as a selector, interfacing with the Tormat ferrite core memory somehow.
As for jukeboxes, it is very common to find the bottom of one totally eaten away by termites, especially the wrecks found in Mexico, such as my AMi K 'Sinfonola', which happily was not infested. It wasn't pretty either. It had been painted chili red and looked like it had swum through a river. Thus I call it the 'Jalapeno Wetback' which I expect is politically incorrect, but it can't hear me and jukeboxes don't have feelings to hurt, so I think it is OK. It was even half full of Mexican records when I bought it.
Instead of the original glass front strip it had some backlit cheesy semi-clad mexican dancing ladies using those ribbed pictures that change as you move (do they have a name?). I'd have kept them, but my wife was none too keen.
