Wanted Juke box

ebay is probably the best option.....
Try- NSM wall mounted/free standing that holds 100 CDs.
Make sure it is ES5.1 technology (not ES4 or ES5) as you can replace the laser diodes easily.
Dont bother with ES6.... recently had issues with a couple (and you have to swap boards that are not cheap). ES5.1 uses thru hole components mainly.
Sound Leisure stuff is also good, but again - make sure it is SERIES 4 or 21st century mechanism as these use CD players you can repair.
Both NSM and Sound Leisure are based in Leeds. Sound Leisure have an amazing spares store. I got parts from a 1982 mech the other day that is going in my new machine.
I used to do jukeboxes for years, so if you have any questions - or see something you like - PM me and I will give you an honest opinion.

Dont go to AMR amusements in Bristol.
Keith Badder (keithbad on ebay) sell a lot of stuff and he is the best NSM bloke in the UK. You will pay more off him but he goes thru machines with a fine toothed comb.

Thanks pick holder. Just looking for a nice machine that works nothing too flash all your tips are much appreciated
NSM wall mount would be my suggestion. I have one. 100x CDs. They go for about £350 if you aren't in a hurry to buy one.
Regularly come up on Gumtree and eBay. Private sellers tend to sell them full of CDs.
The floor standers use the same technology, but have a big footprint.
Be warned that loading 100x CDs only takes a few minutes. However, it takes HOURS and HOURS to print out the track listings and artwork. I loaded CDs into iTunes. Then copied and pasted the tracklistings into PowerPoint. Then printed out 5 per page of A4. Then used a scalpel to create each individual track listing. The artwork can just be a colour photocopy of the original CD cover, or you can get images online.
I think this is why noone wants this style of jukebox and why prices are so modest for what are extremely well engineered machines.
@mark9 might have one

I used to have software where you put the cd into your pc and it used to pull up all the tracks off the internet to save an awful lot of typing.
You have a es5 technology machine which unless it has the cdm12 upgrade pcbs they will be a pain if the laser fails. That is why I would stay clear from one as even a used cdm3 or cdm4 will cost £200.
It is an awesome jukebox. The changer is great to watch as well.
Hopefully in home use it will last.
It’s £15 for a new cdm12 laser which makes more sense. I would rather spend a bit more initially to know I can keep it going long term.
Es5.1 are usually more than an Es-4/5 cost wise. Perhaps £500 upwards.
