I have had my Juke Box mended today. 1950 Rock-Ola


I have had my Juke Box mended today.
1950 Rock-Ola which I have had since late 60's when I was running a Rockers Club.
I bought it for £25 quid all battered and bruised.
Since then it has been with me in East London at the Mayflower, Romford YMCA 
(I remember it going up in the lift to our 2nd floor flat when we moved in with the Sheilas/Gloria and two cats! - 11 floors in total at this Y)

I have a real attachment to it. Humans first - then Juke Box!
It was kicked to death in the East End. It had to have a plywood from and plastic glass to survive.
It was refurbished three and a half years ago for a special birthday of mine but got itself  jammed this last year so became out of use - but now...................!

It illuminates my office and has a sound to die for - what a bass. I will have to see if I can get any dubstep on 7' vinyl - I love the bass.


Anyway - enough swooning - I must kick on ..........
