)Collecting jukebox flyers/ jukeboxes
The purpose of this guide is to explain why people collect what they do. I have collected jukebox manuals and flyers for many years.
I had some friends that where collecting old jukeboxes so I though that was a cool thing to collect. My first machine was a Wurlitzer, I convinced the pool hall owner into selling. The love for Nostalgia started at that point in time.
As I filled up the jukebox with my 45's I noticed that I had alot more records than that box would take. So I went out and bought more jukeboxes so I could put all my records into them and enjoy my 45's playing those old tunes.
Than one by one I started to sell them off as my family grew, I was cramped for space so I moved onto collecting sales flyers and brochures for jukeboxes. I now have a very large collection of jukebox and arcade factory flyers and brochures. It is fun finding a model that I don't have in my collection.........." it is the fun of the hunt that I enjoy the most."
I do sell reprints of some of my jukebox brochures as alot of people have never seen them offered. The main reason is that they where only sent to operators and the public never seen any of the advertising for these great machines.
This is a great area to collect as they are scarce and a sleeper right now, as people catch onto this great hobby of collecting it will force the prices up. Be sure to check out my ebay store for examples of some great collecting stuff for the kid at heart.
