twedspeed Posted November 5, 2010 Report Share Posted November 5, 2010 HI , Just joined the forum and not sure where to post this ...This is an old 1958 SEEBURG wall box , that I picked up on E-Bay a few years back , I originally held out plans of finding an old juke box to which I could connect it , but the only compatable ones are very rare and very expensive - I do like it as an ornament - But it could be so much more - All the selecter buttons still work , Is there anyway these buttons impulses could be teamed up to a modern I-pod or somthing like that - I know its a big project and I,m way out of my depth here, but it would be so nice to make it more than just an ornament .Can anyone direct me to somebody who may be able to advise me further on this matter . Thank you Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted November 6, 2010 Report Share Posted November 6, 2010 It's possible but it won't be easy. You'll need to have experience with programming microcontrollers.One way is to make your own MP3 player, as trying to interface with a ready made one will probably be very difficult.

ARUN CHOWDARY Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 oh its nothing but changing all components is nothing but replacing new one now technology is improve i think stereophonic is also not in that moment it is impractical Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hero999 Posted November 16, 2010 Report Share Posted November 16, 2010 He only has to connect the MP3 player to the amplifier input.Interfacing with the buttons is the hard part. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
twedspeed Posted November 17, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 17, 2010 Hero & Arun, Thanks very much for your input and I have looked into that "interaction" problem and the whole I-Pod idea may be a bit too ambitious - However someone suggested connecting the wall box to a remote CD jukebox - This might be a better Idea simply because theres plenty of used CD jukeboxes for sale at the moment, as pubs & bars are replacing them with digital music formats, (and lets face it CD jukeboxes are never gonna be as collectable as an old wurlitzer) - So its now a question of getting 1960,s tech to interact with 1980,s tech any thoughts . ??.
