My Seeburg is from 1950….100B. I am just about finished restoring it. Beautiful machine….plays 45’s.
When I was in middle school, we had a Seeburg jukebox in the cafeteria. One play for a nickel, 2 for a dime, 6 for a quarter.
I thought initially this was just going to be another retelling of the Seeburg System 1000, but I really had no clue that they also put music out on standard 7-12 inch discs at standard RPMs for the commercial market. These are pretty neat and I'd love to find some of these records!
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you for watching and commenting!
Seeburg Jukeboxes----We all remember these.The Seeburg changers-33,45 RPM were used in other applications besides jukeboxes.Seeburg used to build Hi-fi home consoles that had the 33RPM changers-you could select which records to play on a telephone type dial on the control panel.the consoles also had AM-FM tuners in them.These are highly desired by collectors.
The Seeburg 33,45 RPM changers also found their way into radio station program automation systems.Schaffer comes to mind.One radio station I visited in the Wash DC area had such an automation system.Commercials were recorded on endless loop carts in a special caurosel type cart changer.The music came from the record changers or from 10",14" reel Reel-to-reel tape decks.The automations could be loaded to play thru a whole weekend! The FM station was in just one room--the automation system and two RCA BTFM20H 20Kw FM transmitters run as main alternate main.If one failed the other would be switched into its place.Didn't work on automation systems that much-but worked on those RCA FM transmitters!Got to know them well.
The records you show and play were not used in jukeboxes-they were used in a special Seeburg background music machine-it was connected into building or store PA systems.The machines were very clever-You can Google them and there are videos that show how they work.The Seeburg jukebox changers used 33 RPM or 45 RPM LP or standard 45 RPM records.These boxes are highly desired by collectors.They are now VERY expensive prices for original boxes.The older ones with the tubed amps sounded the best-again these are highly desired.There is a swap shop in my area that got the lot of Seeburg jukeboxes from a retired route operator.They sold VERY quickly!!!There is a company that makes new boxes similar to the Seeburg ones-the name escapes me right now-Google it and you should find them.
Interesting - our Grandma ran a jukebox / cigarette machine business here in Denver and most of the 45's we have were from her. This Seeburg disc was mixed in. Not 100% sure..... Thank you for watching and commenting!
I like hearing. About. This stuff
It is good
Thank you for watching and commenting! Have an awesome day!
No. The Select-o-Matic machines did not have the ability to play individual songs. You selected a record SIDE by pressing two buttons (A-K excluding 'I', then a number 1-10). The player mechanism would travel to the slot where that particular record was located, extract the record from the slot, clamp it, and start playing, just like a 45. With the Rec-o-Dance discs, all three songs on the selected side were played.
A company called Rowe (who also operated Customusic - whom you may know was a third-party vendor for the Seeburg 1000 system) fielded a commercial background music service similar to Rec-o-Dance in terms of how it was put together. It was of course based on the same carousel-type mechanism you'd find in a Rowe jukebox, but like Rec-o-Dance, the discs were 7", 33 rpm records with three generic tunes to a side. The Rowe mechanism held 100 discs, so the total was 600 tunes, and the machine operated more-or-less continually.
These are good records and good jukeboxes
Agreed - the quality seems to be fantastic. Thank you for watching and commenting!
Wow pretty cool. I knew of the Seeberg jukeox but never of the muzak records.
It is pretty interesting. Thank you for watching and commenting!
These are good records
the fonz hits a seeburg jukebox
A 'genericized'' M100C, to be exact.
The songs had no break between them because they were intended for dancing.
Google 'Little LP' for more information on these types of records; Rec-O-Dance was just Seeburg's version of it. Many coin-op services
were using similar records, many even offering the original artists and recordings. One site with a lot of information: www.bsnpubs.com/stereoproject/llps.html
Rowe/Customusic, in the late 1950s and early 1960s, used a similar concept for their background music service. Like the Rec-O-Dance, etc. they were 7 inch, 33-1/3 rpm records with three tunes per side, but they used the larger 45-type center hole. The music Rowe used was, of course, generic - similar in composition to the stuff you'd hear in the Seeburg 1000 system. The Rowe machines were essentially jukebox-type mechanisms (100-disc carousel magazines), but instead of being selectable coin operation, they were continuous-service.
Interesting info - Thank you for watching and commenting!
Hey Record-ology. :) Where can we find those Rec O Dance records? :)
They show up on eBay a lot. Search 'Seeburg Record' or 'Rec-O-Dance'.
probably ebay
Agreed - ebay is probably best. Finding these in the wild would be exceedingly rare. Thank you for watching and commenting!
@@Recordology I had a neighbor years ago who had some of the 16 2/3 rpm Seeburg records that were really cool They were 7 inch but since they played so slow you got like a half hour per side. Take care.
Thats amazing.....can you imagine a 12" 16 RPM record - that would probably hold over an hour! Thank you for watching and commenting! Have an awesome day!
I Hope you will allow me to give you a constructive critique. First of all Seeburg started making Jukeboxes in 1927 not the mid 1940’s. Also note in the first picture you show a 1949 Seeburg model M-100a that played 78rpm records. The Jukebox next to it with the big W is a 1954 Wurlitzer 1500 and it played 78rpm records and 45rpm records intermixed. The records your talking about were for the 1960’s seeburgs that could play 7inch large hole 45rpm records and small hole 33 1/3 mini LP’s. These Mini 7 inch LP’s could play 3 songs on each side and the auto speed unit equipment inside the Jukebox would adjust the speed down to 33 1/3 to play these small hole records at the correct speed. You had to put extra money in the Jukebox to be able to play these 3 song mini LP’s. See link below for the history of all Seeburgs that were made. Also note almost all the Seeburg Jukeboxes you show in your video could not play the records your talking about. The 1961 Seeburg models moving forward to into the 70’s could play the small hole mini 7inch LP’s you are showing in your video. It would help if you only showed the correct Seeburg jukeboxes for which these records could be played. Good video and info. You just need to get the some better info and correct jukebox pictures that can be played with these records.
