This morning Matt H and his wife, a nice couple from Mansfield, came by to look at the SMC1. He is very keen to get a jukebox and I think this one will do them well. I enjoy showing a jukebox, explaining what all I did to it and try to get the point across that I take a lot of time and pride in my work to give them a jukebox that will be trouble-free and perform well. It didn’t take them long to decide they wanted it. I have a ton of records and sat them in the living room to pick out 80 records for their new jukebox. They had a good time picking them out. While they were doing that I scanned an Installation and Operation manual into the computer and then burned it to disc for them to be able to refer to.
Records picked, we loaded the jukebox into the back of their truck. I tucked the line cord into the cabinet and then locked the mechanism down. The SMC mech has tabs on either side with a hole that, when aligned with a threaded hole on the base, let me screw it down and keep it from sliding. I have moved 99% of the jukes I’ve ever gotten or sold or delivered on their backs. Certain precautions have to be taken but contrary to the myths this is an easy way to move a jukebox with little chance of trouble. Matt cinched it down well with straps and off they went.
