The "KING " of the 1950´s Jukeboxes.
The 1940´s era belonged to the Wurlitzer Jukboxes.
The 1950´s era belonged to the Seeburg Jukeboxes.
Seeburg - Wurlitzer - AMI - Rock -Ola.
Seeburg and AMI began building Jukeboxes during the late 1920, and Wurlitzer and Rock - Ola began during the 1930.
At the end of the 1930 more than 500´000 Jukeboxes operated in America.
The people back Wurlitzer was from Germany, the people back Rock -Ola was from Italy and the people back Seeburg was from Sweden !!
The Years after the second World War Wurlitzer produced some fantastic Jukeboxes like 1015, 1100, 1080,....
In the middle of the 1950´s new model from records were available playing 45 r.p.m. instead of earlier 78 r.p.m. and here Seeburg´s Jukeboxes took over.
Collectors from Jukeboxes speak a lot over the Jukeboxes from the 1950, but the most collectible from those Jukeboxes are made just between 1955 and 1959.
Vinyl Jukeboxes are classified after selections, which is the sides at the vinyl records.
This Seeburg VL 200 selections from 1956 can play 100 records.
From 1960 the selections for the Jukeboxes dropped down to 160 selections, 104 selections and 100 selections, and Jukeboxes playing vinyl records with 200 selections were never more made.
1886, only sixteen Years old Justus P Sjöberg from Gothenburg in Sweden emigrate to America.
In America he changed his last name to Seeburg, and started working with automatic pianoes.

The Seeburg V-200 Jukebox is looking similar to the Seeburg VL-200 Jukebox I present here, differ in cabinet finish and trim, the color of some of the exposed mechanism parts.
In October 1956 the Seeburg VL-200 was introduced on the market.
