Wurlitzer Model 1100 Jukebox 1948 Mechanically Restored
I am pleased to offer this 1948 Wurlitzer model 1100 jukebox. Serial # is 2123142. This fully functioning machine was restored a few years ago and shows beautifully today.
The 2011 restoration focused on the mechanical working of the machine more than the cosmetics. The cost for the restoration was $2100 (see receipt in picture section).
The Wurlitzer 1100 Jukebox was produced from 1947 to 1949. The look of the 1100 is indicative of the move away from 1940’s art deco design to the more modern look favored in the 1950’s. This was one of the first models where the plastic dome over the record player is larger so the working mechanism can be viewed.
The 1100 is a 24-selection jukebox that plays 78-RPM records. As the jukebox plays, brilliant multi-colored lights rotate within the pilasters, creating an impressive light show. Another interesting feature of this machine is the rotating song selector. The extensive chrome reflects the lights as the jukebox plays.
This was one of the first products to be made after WWII when the factories were being converted from war time production. In fact, the shape of the dome is said to be modeled after the turret on fighter planes.
Dimensions: 57 7/8”H x 30 1/2”W x 27 1/4”D
