Søren,
With no impertinence intended, after all those cubas, I really think you need one of these….. or something similar to your liking.
Jeff
Have one. no disks in it at the moment, as I plan to refurb the amp in it, have some 500, 45s to feed it
Collecting Vintage B&O is not a hobby, its a lifestyle.
A very beautiful Seeburg, Jeff, mine is a Mexican copy of a Wurlitser, Nostalgie, from 1969 as far as I could investigate.
Hi Søren,
So you have, and you have showed me your jukebox in the past, only senility has prevented me from remembering…. until now.
I love my Seeburg, even more now that is actually sounds as good as it looks.
Yours looks like FUN, and I’ll be it will be!

Since some one deleted the photobucket I am not sure who it was today (for you)
For me it was Etta James
It has been a real christening for my Beomaster 1000 and Beogram 1602. This evening we enjoyed:
Bernhard Brink: “Liebe kann man nicht” “Es gibt immer einen Sieger.”
Christian Anders: “Du gehörst zu mir” und “Es fährt ein zug nach nirgendwo.”
Frank Schőbel: “Ich geh’ vom Nordpol zum Sűdpol”
Jűrgen Marcus: “Irgendwann kommt jeder mal nach San Francisco.”
Adam & Eve: “Wenn die Rosen blűhen in Athen.” (A Nana Mouskouri song)
Suffice to say it was an all German night….. for the fun of it.

Rolf 2:Zwei "must hear" aus dieser Zeit: Michael Holm "Tränen lügen nicht" und Udo Jürgens "Griechischer Wein", sehr schön auch von Peter Alexander. Wirklich witzig, daß ihr diese Lieder auf der anderen Seite der Welt hört :-).

Kites Are Fun - The Free Design ...... something old but new to take a listen to.
I was not especially impressed with there sound at first but it got into me. Now I have some vinyl reissues on order.

Saturday I picked up a few new albums: Ellie Goulding's Lights and Halcyon, as well as Empire of the Sun's Ice On The Dune.
They made their debut play on my latest darkside project - a set of Altec Lansing A7 horns. BTW what ever happened to our Darkside page? Is that on the old forum?
At any rate, pictures or it never happened - as always.
Beo4 'til I die!
What the hell are those
Orava: What the hell are those
LOL
They are redesigned replicas of an old Altec Lansing speaker, the A7. I have deviated pretty significantly from the original cabinet design and the tweeter section in general has been replaced with a JBL 2360A horn.
They weigh about 165lbs each and are almost exactly 2m tall!
Here is a LINK to my project.
Here is a link to some pretty accurate history

No doubt about it, those speakers make a dramatic statement. But the question is, how do they sound?
Piaf: No doubt about it, those speakers make a dramatic statement. But the question is, how do they sound? Jeff
If someone have gone through all that trouble, they simply cant sound bad.
OK, makes sense to me. With that concept clearly in mind, perhaps I can get an exorcism performed on my S120.2 speakers as they make a most unholy sound! Better throw in a clove of garlic and at least one sterling silver cross.
They certainly do Jeff!!! Visually and acoustically.
I chose to build them for their acoustic properties, their 'statement factor' is just icing on the cake. This is what I like to call an engineering exercise - pushing the envelope, reaching for unparalleled performance. I know that sounds cliche, but that is my motivation. They are meant for use behind movie screens and for use in PA applications.
Their best attribute is vocal reproduction and dynamics, reportedly some of the best in the world. Secondly they have stunning low frequency reproduction. They can faithfully reproduce the smoothest tones and the sharpest thumps with the ability to do it at any volume level you want. I'm still learning more about them the more I listen so stay tuned for more thoughts.

Hi Evan.
Well I for one really like the look….. and I am sure I am not alone. The important thing is that they sound exceptional. What you have done is cutting edge, now all you will have to do is go out and buy some really avant-garde furniture to compliment those fantastic speakers.
Orava: Piaf: No doubt about it, those speakers make a dramatic statement. But the question is, how do they sound? Jeff If someone have gone through all that trouble, they simply cant sound bad.
The project has taken me just over a year from initial design/CAD, optimization and of course the most extensive aspect - construction. I've been demonstrating these speakers to people at every chance I get and I am told they are outstanding.
However, my ears detect a lot of needed cabinet tuning as there are some peaky resonances as well as some potential port tuning.

And don't forget frets, they must be some special fabric
The color is certainly polarizing! Unfortunately the project has left me without the cash to buy the complimentary furniture :-D Maybe I will have to make that as well!

I have a feeling that if I put frets on these speakers it would be like putting a curtain in front of an open window on a breezy day LOL
Sitting in the sun, in the swedish high summer, listening to Annie Lennox' christmas songs, life seems to be the right place to be.

“The lack of money is the root of evil!” So it will take you a bit of time to “tune” your creations and save for some wild looking furniture. So be it.
However, just as a suggestion, although a lot of the furniture of the fifties was just God-awful, there were some really “out there” sofas that swirled around equally interesting coffee tables. Found in good condition, this eclectic ensemble wouldn't cost much and would compliment your speakers beautifully.

We will see what I come up with. I will say, I do like the college 'chic' look I have going.... Monster stereo with little emphasis placed on anything else in my house hahaha
