In general terms machines from the early 1950’s still had many characteristics from the 1930’s and 1940’s Golden Age of the jukebox such as an expanse of coloured plastic glowing with light. By 1954/55 jukebox designers were being influenced by American automobiles of the period with plenty of curved glass and chrome. By the end of the 1950’s some jukeboxes even featured ‘tail fins’ and chrome ‘tail lights’ and by 1961, when Yuri Gagarin orbited the earth, jukebox styles had evolved and were often ‘Space Age’ in appearance. In Britain, as in the USA, Holland and Germany many thousands of Silver Age jukeboxes are ‘alive and well’ in private homes thumping out Elvis numbers from the 50’s to ‘top ten’ vinyl 45 RPM singles of today (yes, they are still available!). Not many owners are lucky enough to boast that they have a ‘collection’ of jukeboxes but all are ‘vinyl collectors’ as they strive for that perfect selection on their machines. The values of Silver Age jukeboxes have steadily risen over the past few years and the trend is set to continue as these machines reach their half-centuries. The cost of purchasing a ‘Silver Age’ jukebox very much depends on the condition, restoration and desirability with prices ranging from around £2,000 to as much as £10,000 ! Picture captions: Each of the ‘big four’ manufacturers from the Silver Age are represented: Rock-Ola 1454 (1956), AMi Continental (‘61), Wurlitzer 1700 (‘54), Seeburg 201 (‘58).
