An illuminated arch, a set of bubbling tubes, or a row of chrome buttons could tell you which jukebox was in the corner before you heard a record. These photos follow the machines from the light-up cabinets of the 1930s and 1940s to the high-capacity selectors and space-age designs that followed. Look for what each model let customers see, hear, or choose.
