Rare Vintage 1941 Wurlitzer 780 Wagon Wheel Jukebox Working Serial# 760762.

This is an absolutely beautiful, functioning, 1941 model 780 Wagon Wheel Jukebox made by Wurlitzer. 110 Volt AC, coin operated, with electro magnetic dynamic LS (moving-coil with field excitation coil). The case is made of wood and there is a small amount of water damage to the finish on the top right side (shown in image).

The Wurlitzer 780 “Wagon Wheel” is the only one in a wooden cabinet, designed to look like a piece of furniture, which sets it apart from the other streamlined, brightly lit jukeboxes of the period. This is an early American design meant to resemble a maple cabinet with a colonial quilt grill and hope chest hardware.

The circuitry has a quick start feature. In standby, the tubes are not heated. After a coin is inserted and a selector button pressed the tubes are supplied with 9.8 volts. A relay time delay will switch to normal supply (6.3 volts) after 7 seconds. This makes the amplifier ready before the pickup is set to the groove, since the mechanics need some time to fetch, move and place the record.

An absolutely beautiful piece of American history!
