While on Facebook a week ago I got into a message chat with an old friend, Walt B. who used to run Bebop Music back in the 90’s. We messaged back and forth with him asking about repairs to a 1953 HF100G he had recently got back from a fellow he had sold it to back in the day. He sent several pictures of it. In the midst of our back and forth he mentioned he would be willing to sell it for $1500 as-is. I said “I will take it”. Walt used to be a cabinet maker and his jukebox cabinet work is first class. What immediately caught my eye was the beautiful zebra wood veneer on the box. It also has the custom translucent pilasters with rotating color cylinders. Considering this and the fact it is one of my favorite jukes, this was a no-brainer can’t-let-it-pass decision. We made arrangements to meet today and pick it up.
