Vintage 1946 Wurlitzer Model 1015 Bubbler Collector Multi-Selector Phonograph
Item #3555
Vintage Original 1946 Wurlitzer Model 1015 Bubbler Collector Multi-Selector Phonograph. This Jukebox is in exceptional condition, fully restored, and with a full set of 78s. The sound is fantastic; the amp was rebuilt. Special electronics allow you to surpass mechanical coin operations to make as many selections as you like.
It is highly collectible and in fantastic condition. I just recently went through it from top to bottom, and it plays great. This jukebox is one of the increasingly rare Wurlitzer’s that were initially designed to play 78-rpm records. This historic piece of Americana features the intricate design and quality construction synonymous with classic jukeboxes, including a rich walnut cabinet, an extensively curved light facade, chrome filigree accents, and Art Deco-style mirror molding.
The extensive detailing continues to the ornamented interior, lined with walnut, cloth, new chrome record holders & tonearm, and other aluminum parts. I recently replaced the period-correct speaker fabric. All bubble tubes work perfectly, and the rotating color light wheels are smooth and quiet. The serial number corresponded with the Wurlitzer archives and was manufactured in 1946.
This listing is for the Juke Box only; the auxiliary speaker is a separate listing.
Additionally, we are offering here the scarce and matching Wurlitzer #4008 auxiliary speaker. This is a separate purchase, and you can see it here.
This is not original but is no longer commercially available and very rare. It works perfectly and exactly like the originals with bubble tubes, and It can be mounted to either the wall or ceiling. It has a motorized wheel that circles using color panels, and all the matching glass mirror squares create a kind of disco ball. The two items together create a great light show and can be loud enough to fill a ballroom.
This is a chance to own and have the ultimate jukebox experience. This pair of Wurlitzer items would make an incredible man-cave, ballroom, or dance hall addition and almost impossible to duplicate in its current condition. All incandescent lights have been changed to low-watt LED lights 1 watt, so there is no heat buildup, and they are long-lasting. Please ask any questions you might have. We have sold many jukeboxes, and this one plus the speaker together will make you very, very happy.
