Juke Box, Wurlitzer "bubbler"
1946
The Model 1015 "bubbler"
Known as much for its appearance as for the music it played, the Model 1015 was one of the most ornate jukeboxes ever produced. This first post-World War II model was an explosion of color and action. Lights continuously changed colors behind translucent plastic panels, while tubes filled with colored liquid bubbled away. When a nickel was dropped in the machine's coin slot, the record-changing mechanism came to life behind a clear glass panel. It automatically searched for the music lover's choice from a stack of 24 78-rpm records.
