One of the most eye-catching lots in Monday’s auction is this fantastic working vintage jukebox from the 1970s – a true centrepiece for any home, games room, bar, restaurant or collector’s space.

There’s something undeniably magical about a jukebox. The lights, the mechanical movement, the anticipation as the record is selected and drops into place – it’s a piece of entertainment history that still has the power to stop people in their tracks.

Better still, this example is fully working and loaded with an eclectic selection of 7-inch vinyl singles from across the decades. Browse the records and you’ll find music from legendary artists including Queen, The Beatles, Whitney Houston, The Bee Gees, Chris Rea, Barbra Dickson, The Hollies, Pet Shop Boys, Right Said Fred and Take That, among many others.

Whether you’re a serious collector of vintage music memorabilia, a vinyl enthusiast, or simply someone looking for a unique talking point, this is a lot that deserves a closer look.

If you’d like to see the jukebox in person before bidding, you’re warmly invited to attend one of our viewing sessions at the auction house:

Saturday: 9:00am – 12:00pm
Sunday: 10:00am – 2:00pm

The live auction begins on Monday at 10:00am, with bidding available both online and in person.

Don’t miss your chance to own a wonderful piece of music and popular culture history that’s guaranteed to bring back memories every time a record starts to play.
