The Wurlitzer was the iconic jukebox of the Big Band era, to the extent that Wurlitzer came to be a generic name for any jukebox. Wurlitzer's success was due to a first rate marketing department, the reliable Simplex record changer, and the designs of engineer Paul Fuller who created many light-up cabinet styles. Offered here is a Model 71 counter model cabinet jukebox produced by Wurlitzer 1940-1941. This model featured Wurlitzer's "Multi-Selector" feature, as noted by label above record selections. In total, Wurlitzer produced 4,506 of these jukeboxes. The smaller, counter model measures 22x23x19" deep and ran on 5¢, 10¢, 25¢. Myrtle burl and selected straight grained walnut veneers w/ebony base. Steel reinforced illuminated Catalin plastics at four corners. Service from front. Lock has been replaced and comes w/two keys. Record selections have been written by hand in ink, some artists/songs include - Jimmy Dorsey "Doin' What Comes Naturally," Artie Shaw "Back Bay Shuffle," Tommy Dorsey "Nice Work If You Can Get It," Benny Goodman "Jersey Bounce" and "Why Don't You Do Me Right?" as well as Frank Sinatra's "Star Dust" and Louis Armstrong's "Mack The Knife." Jukebox comes w/12 78 rpm records, though we cannot guarantee they are the records listed on selections. Unit had an older restoration to the cabinet's original wood and all metal outside components were re-plated. There are no cracks to any of the Catalin plastic parts. When plugged in, all lights function, however, when selector buttons are pushed, mechanism cycles but no record is selected. Inside components appear complete, including original amp, speaker w/the following exception; when restored, interior coin equipment consisting of triple slug ejector and the coin grinder were removed and replaced w/a free-play button which was installed on the back door at screen area. Front veneer around original fabric speaker cover has some typical hairline crazing. 1x1.5" area of surface veneer off lower left side towards machine front, not visible when viewed straight on. Tiny .25" nick to top of cabinet. Despite these issues, jukebox remains VF for display.
