Under the guidance of designer Paul M. Fuller (1897-1951), Wurlitzer jukeboxes showcased light, color, and form in striking, Art Deco designs. Wurlitzer also marketed a line of tabletop models for smaller businesses. These compact jukeboxes employed a twelve-selection mechanism that raised or lowered 78 rpm records arranged in a stack to the desired disc. All objects are courtesy of Joe Welch American Antique Museum in San Bruno, California. "The Automatic Age: Coin-Operated Machines" is on display, pre-security, in the International Terminal. http://bit.ly/CoinOperated This image was posted on March 06, 2018.
