This video is so well done and explained. It reminds me of the discovery channel TV show "How its Made". Can't wait to hear that beauty play. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks John. I really like that show as well. We're still waiting for the turntable and speaker to come back. Hopefully that will be the end of the repairs so I can show it playing. Thanks, G.
Wow! Amazing electro-mechanicals and so well thought out. Thanks for following through with these...they are beautiful pieces of craftsmanship and engineering. This one in particular sings to me!! 8-) Love to hear them play when you can. I know who to get a hold of when I start our old school Ice Cream Parlor...just love the artistry!
That's what gets me PJ- everything was drafted by hand, prototyped, signed off on by the brass- and into production they went. No computers- just brilliant minds collaborating. The old school stuff was not disposable, and had sexy sty-lings to boot. Atlas lathes are a good example that comes to mind- they do have very cool lines. Two scoops please, G.
bain5872 Me too! Good point with those who never heard them again because they didn't come home. That's a point I failed to mention, these machines were sent all over the world so the enlisted could enjoy them in their down time. I agree, I know I couldn't do it. I can barely draw a straight line using a straight edge. G.
***** I third that emotion on the troops! Thanks G, I didn't know those were shipped all over for them...at least somebody had a brain and heart back then. As for drafting/engineering, I started on the board then to ACAD V1- V2002 and will tell you I wouldn't go back. I was taught to never draw more in the morning than I could erase in the afternoon and CAD made that much easier. What my son does with SW's now is truly amazing. All we can do is embrace the change and continue to appreciate the Gold from where we came from...and these are Golden!
pjhalchemy Agreed! I don't know all of the machine types that where shipped about- but this was one model. That was good advice for sure! I do draw some- more like scribbling, but am not skilled at drafting- never taught. I also agree with the benifits of using CAD. The speed in which things can be developed or changed is awesome. I've seen some SW stuff that completely baffles me. We are definitely in a new age now. What's a record, 8 track, or cassette tape??? If it weren't for the machines shown- my nephew wouldn't know the record- don't think he does of the rest though... I would bet the majority can't hardly function these days without some machine telling them what do do. I know it's getting harder for me since they're so ingrained now. I remember ordering food once when the register flaked out and the person behind the counter didn't know how to count change back. It was funny I had to teach them on the spot...You would have thought I was robbing the place due to the expression on their face...LOL. I worked at a service station when I was about 17 and we didn't even have a register- just a drawer with some money in it. Handwritten tickets is what we used...lol G.
Hi great video, I am currently restoring the same machine. I received it completely disassembled and your video already helped me a lot. As you know there is no manual available for the Victory, only for the 500A but this does not show everything. The last bit missing is the coin mechanism. I need some closer pictures of the mechanism showing how all is fixed together, in particular I need a picture of the top coin chute, I assume this is wood, which is missing in my box and I would like to reproduce it. I also do not have the wood panel where everything is fixed to. I should have the measurements . Can you help?Thanks C.
Thanks Carsten. I shot a video for you that should include enough detail so you can make the chute. Hope it helps. Good luck, G. ruclips.net/video/5xIwnB50FFM/видео.html
One of the most beautiful jukeboxes I've seen! probably the most!!
Thanks Daniel! It is a very striking box. Take care, G.

Brilliant video, thanks a million, very nice machine and great condition. Keep up the good work and videos.
Well thanks, glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the post, G.

What's a "Service" Station? LOLOLOL
Yes, very cool, thanks for sharing
Thanks! Take care, G.

Thank you so much. You made a great video which brings me a big step further. Now I know how it works.
No problem! G.
