Rock-Ola Nostalgia CD or Wurlitzer 1015 CD ?

[SimonG_UK]

Hi Guys

I have an opportunity to purchase either a Wurlitzer 1015 100 CD jukebox or a fully restored and more recent Rock-Ola Nostalgia 100 CD system that has the added benefit of Bluetooth and remote included.

Externally, with look very similar but with slightly different CD changer mechanisms and title cards.
The Rock-ola is newer better condition and fully serviced and is currently £1,500 less than the Wurlitzer, but if they were the same price which is the better unit ?

My concern with the Rock-Ola is that as good as it is it's a copy of the original Wurlitzer design, so would I always be telling people that it's @not actually a Wurlitzer"

Any recommendations would be much appreciated

Hi Simon,
Truth be known-- the "WurliTzer" cabinet is not a "WurliTzer" either-- both are "copies" ! The "RockOla" is much closer to the original then the German made copy. Also, look at the "chrome"-- WurliTzer has plastic chrome-- RockOla, "real metal". As for operation, in a home, I would rate them both to be (like all CD players), just adequate-- Ron Rich
