I think it's amazing the solutions they came up with before modern electronics.
The coin magnet circuit is responsible for keeping track of how much money you've put in, and how many more songs you can play.Jukebox Parts #1, The Coin RejectorEric Haskins2026-09-15 | I'm showing cool electronic and mechanical parts from my Wurlitzer 3500 Zodiac while I'm doing some repairs and upgrades. I think it's amazing the solutions they came up with before modern electronics.
This is the coin rejector, a purely mechanical mechanism that rejects anything that isn't a valid nickel, dime or quarter.I built a baby rotary speaker based on a Leslie 122Eric Haskins2026-08-31 | I'm tired of looking at my Leslie 122, which makes awesome sounds, but has no way to connect my guitars.
I solved my problem the simplest way possible, by making a 40% scale rotary speaker that looks and works just right.
