I watched the same guy who turned this classic into a huge flashy lamp do the same with a classic juke box.
Basically couldn’t be bothered to try and fix it and ripped the guts out to turn it into a Bluetooth speaker .
It was featured on the Electric Workshop tv show

 

[Fantazia2]

Has been discussed in the spotted on eBay thread, was in a channel 4 restoration show.

Basically was found in a shed pretty much complete but not working and someone stripped all the electronics out and put some arduino controlled LEDs in it.

Well this is a long story.

I actually did this.

The TV show had a £300 budget to get this machine going.

It was rusted to hell. It was not 'pretty well working'. May of been when it went into the shed.

None of the displays or boards worked.

I wanted to thin down the backbox and make a luminated bit of wall art. They did not want it.

The PF I wanted to make a coffee table out of. They did not want that either.

"As long as it lights up that is all we want" was the instruction.

I have never watched the episode all the way thru. They got my name wrong. Kinda turned off iPlayer after that (or whatever it is on).

Most things on Find it, flix it, flog it are given away or sold very cheaply after the show. None of them go for the estimates. It is a cheap show to make.

Glad they got my name incorrect as to be fair - I did not want to be really associated with this. As soon as It was dropped off I regretted it.

So yes it is a total poop show. I am the first one to agree.

Do you think it would be possible to put it back to working condition if someone had all the spare parts, for the passion of it of course, not for profit?

Sorry Phil, didn’t realise that you have been ‘TV’ed’

Sorry Phil, didn’t realise that you have been ‘TV’ed’

Yes

Oh to add more insult.

I have never been paid !

Also I did tell you this when we had lunch over at the pub near you when I visited you and you treated me to scampi and chips!

Why bother?

Loads of machines like this have been pulled apart.

Every single screw is rusted into the playfield.

Every lamp holder fooked.

Any bolt I tried to remove was shot and the head broke.

The original wiring looms and transformer was used in getting someone elses Kiss game working.

If I could of fixed it for £500 in parts and not charged for labour I probably would of done - even making a loss for the TV show.

I did have some other videos and photos but think I deleted them a long time ago.

IT IS ALSO NOT ME IN THE CLASSIC RETRO WORKSHOP. He makes an absolute fortune off that, met him ages ago. Wish it was.

On his SLIGHT defense. That Seeburg he was presented with was a heap. The only winner was Jamie who sold it them.

I too would not of repaired that seeburg mech as it is not cost effective - I would of replaced it with another jukebox mech. Probably an NSM or Sound leisure.

I bought the Drop A Card EM pinball featured in the Classic Retro Workshop programme. Paid less than half what they initially paid for it and about a third of what they asked when it had been ‘restored’!
