Apparantly a 1957 juke box as well, out of curiosity is there a way to record mp3's onto a record?

Or: No, not really.

Get a USB turntable and reverse the polarity.

*snort*

Blayne, you'd need a recording needle, and they are neither inexpensive nor easy to come by these days.

Okay so best second thing, where could I go to get someone else to do it for me? Is there a company or something what keywords am I looking for?

This is why no one uses vinyl jukeboxes anymore.

Posted by Orincoro (Member # 8854) on :

It would be more cost effective to just rewire the jukebox to play input from a 1/8 inch jack and put a few dummy records into it for the visual effect.

Whenever I see the word "juke box", I hear it in Mr. Martini's voice.

Tom: Better option - iPod jukebox! And a Wurlitzer, too!

Only $7K!

$3000/$70 = 43

Of course, that assumes the cost of the 1957 jukebox to be negligible.

Exactly!

Posted by TomDavidson (Member # 124) on :

Would you really want a jukebox that can only play 43 songs? (Or 86, if Blayne's jukebox can play both sides...)

...

Actually, now that I think about it, that might be a good number for a jukebox. So, yeah, Blayne: send that company Rivka linked $3000 and a bunch of MP3s, and they'll press your vinyl.
