Hi all,
We have just bought a 1650 Wurlitzer Jukebox that needs some restoring. We are new to the world of jukeboxes and we would like to restore it the best way and keep it as original as as possible in which we hope you can help us:
- We need to restore the colourworks of the top part of the record changer (red color), and the bottom plate in the right colors (ours was greenish like the selector buttons, but in the "presenting" booklet it is silver). Do you have any tips on how to find the right colour codes / know the right codes or how to copy the original colours?
- Also the woodworks on the sides is stripping loose. Should we try to glue it back in place, or replace the sides with a different plate made into the same shape? I think it is supposed to be a dark walnut with a natural birch trim: what kind of oil/wood treatment should we use?
Below you can see a picture of the jukebox we just bought.
Thank you in advance for all your tips and tricks,
The jukebox newbies
