During my travels recently in rural Ohio, I had to travel a section of rt 30, (see Gary's post about the Lincoln Hiway) to arrange the fabrication of a new equipment trailer for my business. I got to see a lot of the old "road less traveled" so to speak. On my next trip back to pickup the trailer, a friend rode along and started to have a " low carb attack" and said he wanted to stop for lunch asap. Must have been 5 min. past his regular feeding time !! Not having alot of choices on this stretch of old 30, we stopped at an old roadside diner for lunch. Once inside on my way to the wash room, I walked past an old JUKEBOX and noticed it said "for sale" see "Rick".........The owner said it worked, but the license fee was $400 per year, and he wasn't going to pay to renew it, as it didn't make him much money after he paid the fee and maint. etc. I made him an offer, and yes.....the rest is history. I now have it in my garage, yes it works !! Now I need to find some old music from the 60's, 70's and 80's to fill it with. ( When did they quit making records? ) If anyone out there still has a box of old 45's in their garage or attic, I would be real interested........I looked on EBAY.........but with the cost of each record and shipping, it would defeat the lo buck deal on the machine. I grew up in the sixties, being a '58 model so anything from the 60's or newer would be neat to find. I got rid of my turntable and albums about 15 years ago with the start of factory cassette players in the cars, and probably just threw out the 45's as "useless" except as skeet shooting targets. If you have a box of them , or know someone who does, send me a PM with the info, and I'll answer back. Thanks in advance............TOM...............I'll post a picture of the jukebox later.........
