FEATURE Wurlitzer jukeboxes make sweet music for collectors By Larry LeMasters
Jukeboxes, especially during their heyday years (1938– 1948) were designed to soothe the eyes as well as the soul. In fact, today’s collectors primarily seek out the most beautiful old jukeboxes that depict the charm and romance of the 1930s and ‘40s. While jukeboxes have been continuously made since the 1920s, it is the 10-year period, from 1938 until 1948, that attracts collectors. Collectors pay top dollar for jukeboxes made during these years, especially boxes manufactured by the Wurlitzer Company. There were 13 Wurlitzer jukeboxes manufactured during this era, all with 24-record capacity. Paul Fuller, a Swiss master designer, designed 11 of these Wurlitzer jukeboxes, beginning with the 1938 model. Fuller’s Wurlitzer model 950 is one of the rarest Wurlitzers since it was the 1942 model and most raw materials were earmarked for war usage. Wurlitzer manufactured only 3,497 model 950s, of which fewer than 200 are known to still exist. The 950s are also prized for their beautiful decorations — illustrations of the Greek god Pan playing his pipe. The model 950 truly embodies all of the romance of a Wurlitzer jukebox. The

Right: Wurlitzer model 1080. This model was considered “garish” by most people and only a few of these were ever sold.
