This item was released in 2015 and retired in August 2023.
Rock and roll! In Maryellen's day, jukeboxes were often found in restaurants and diners. People would scroll through a list of songs, then put in a few coins to play their favorites. This jukebox lights up and plays six pre-recorded '50s-style songs when the buttons are pushed. Plus, girls can connect their own electronic music players to play all their favorite songs! Includes a 3.5 mm audio cable. 13" x 9" x 7"
I'll add pictures later, but I have to say that if you're on the fence, you should definitely get this set especially if you can get it at a 20% discount.
I'm normally not a fan of the 20th century collections, because the colors are often gaudy and the sets cheap and plastic. But I found this jukebox downright charming and delightful. It is easily a standalone piece you can sit on your living room mantel. It's basically a speaker with a short audio cable that you can hook up to any device (e.g. laptop, mp3 player) where you can play whatever music you want (e.g. Platters' Smoke Get in Your Eyes). But it also has a preloaded set of songs that you can play after pressing two-button combos, which are listed on the front of the jukebox. Inside the plastic "glass" of the jukebox you see a record turntable with little records. It doesn't move, but it's still pretty cute. The back is a brown plastic, but the chrome detailing with red highlights on the front is beautiful and looks great. The best part is that the entire jukebox lights up for the entirety of the preloaded song or a few seconds if you play an external device. The color "glass" (it's plastic) has glitter specks that give it a nice retro look.
Songs:
A3 Let's Stroll
C1 One Glass, Two Straws
E1 Sweetheart Serenade
C5 Soda Shop Hop
E3 Beachside Boogie
A5 Ice Cream Dreams
A+
