The music selection buttons was typically around 24 buttons (switches) which would correspondent to 24 music records on the record stack of the jukebox.Įach of these 24 buttons/switches are connected to a "selection drum" consisting of 24 coils, 24 rods, plates and a master switch which get activated once a music selection button is pressed. The "make selection" light activates all the different music selections available which are selected by pushing a button. For example, if you were to insert a dime (10¢) into the jukebox, the dime would activate three electrical switches thus advancing the cogwheel three times so the record would play three times.Ĭylinder Phonograph Explained: How Old Record Players WorkĪfter the coin is inserted and accepted, the "make selection" light will illuminate and stay lighting as long as there are credits in the jukebox. For each switch activation from a coin, a cogwheel with cut teeth (also located in the coin grinder) would advance one, two or five times for each coin value before falling into a cash safe box where the coins are collected. Each coin denomination activates one, two or five electrical switches to distinguish them from one another. Each of these coin slots go down to a neoprene rubber wheel (located in the center of the coin grinder) so, when a particular coin is inserted it goes into a rotational path activating electrical switches. The top of the coin grounder has different slots for the different coin denominations. If the coin is rejected, the slug rejector sends the coin through a different scoop out into a coin return cup. The slug rejector assesses the coin denomination by weighing the coin's diameter and thickness before letting the coin pass down through a shoot into the coin grinder (operated by a motor). Once a coin is inserted in either the nickle, dime or quarter coin slot, it travels down the coin mechanism falling into a funnel and directed down into a slug rejector. The typical coin mechanism of a jukebox consists of a three-way coin slot that would take 5¢ (nickel), 10¢ (dime) and 25¢ (quarter) coins. The jukebox consists mainly of a sound system and two mechanisms: the player mechanism motor and the coin mechanism motor. The jukebox sounds simple enough, but you would be surprised to learn what a complex piece of machinery the jukebox is and how intricately and cleverly was put together!
