Complete Sound Leisure Bubbler jukebox (number 3) conversion.

Pick Holder · Jan 9, 2021

Well - shortly before Christmas I purchased another sound leisure bubbler.

At the moment it is going to be converted to vinyl (or possibly digital if someone shows an interest).

Today collected the wood from the paint shop. Candy Apple Red, which is a bit of a difference to other jukeboxes you see around.

Yeah - We thought we would give it a go on a jukebox. I am taking over a guitar for him to respray the same colour I like it that much !

Started the reassembly and building the transformer panel today.

Plenty to be getting on with.

Every other episode of 'Find It Fix It Flog It' they'd spray something Candy Apple Red and always looked the part as it does here, looking good Phil.

Well - it looks like this is being turned into a digital touchscreen juke, with some great lighting and room for over 400,000 mp3s !

I will keep up with the build posts on here.

@Pick Holder Phil, have there ever been jukes that hold 12in vinyl or is it always 7in?

Pick Holder · Jan 10, 2021

@ronsplooter - you can buy one that holds 10 albums from Sound Leisure.

You also used to get something called a Library player that used to play albums all day sequencially for background music purposes.

Good question, I've got loads of 12inch vinyl.

Yeah I originally wanted vinyl but all mine are 12” singles so went for a CD one as have tons of those as well.

Well - its time to draw a line under this one.

Three days of work this week.

Big thanks to @Colywobbles for the custom plastic cutting on the bezels.

The small screen does visualizations to the music and the main (touch) screen chooses your music.

120GB solid state drive with all the software on it.
4TB hard drive with music, only a small part is used but has thousands of tracks on it already but the new owner has a massive music collection.
DVD rom/CD writer for data transfer of MP3s.
Sound Leisure MK7 amplifier running a 5 way speaker system. 12" woofer, 5.25" mid and piezo treble.
Sound Leisure Diamond Pack LED lighting pack (worth well over £1K on its own).
New side plastics, old ones scuffed so replaced.
Complete new paint job as mentioned before (Candy Apple Red) with Metajewels.

Going off to its new home next weekend.

Very happy with this one.
