1956 Wurlitzer 2000 Centennial Vinyl Jukebox
Described by many as one of the most attractive jukeboxes ever made, the Wurlitzer â2000â Centennial was built to commemorate the companyâs 100 year Anniversary.
Its sister machine, the â1900â, was created for the same reason but its smaller record capacity and cheaper price tag meant that it never achieved the greatness of the â2000â pictured here. The â2000â holds 100 45rpm records, leading to a choice of up to 200 tracks - hugely impressive for the time.
These machines also featured Wurlitzerâs patented âCobraâ pick up system, about which our jukebox engineers wax lyrical. First introduced in 1948, the Cobra system set new standards in audio quality.
Now extremely rare, the 2000 Centennial was introduced in 1956 and only 4000 were manufactured.
All of our vintage products are sourced to order and restored in our workshops in Surrey by our talented in-house team.Â
Â
We offer a grade A1 restoration as standard. We do not use a 'restoration checklist' as every component is checked and refurbished as part of our uncompromising refurbishment process.
We are thorough and comprehensive throughout and are striving to deliver a machine that is near to how it came out of the factory. All of our restoration work is guaranteed by our one-year on-site parts and labour warranty.Â
Rudolph Wurlitzer was born into a family of musical instrument makers in Germany in 1829 before emigrating to America at the tender age of 24. He began by importing his familyâs instruments and selling them in the US market but quite quickly set up a manufacturing business and in 1880 the first Wurlitzer piano was built in the US. Electric pianos came next, shortly followed by the cinema and theatre organs, dubbed âMighty Wurlitzersâ, that provided such a stirring accompaniment to the silent movies of the time.
In 1933 the New York based company bought the rights to a patented jukebox mechanism and under the management of Farny Wurlitzer, Rudolphâs successor, they began designing and manufacturing their first jukebox, the âDebutanteâ. Known as the âsmall manâs concert hallâ, it enjoyed tremendous popularity and paved the way for even greater success when Wurlitzerâs inspired designer, Paul Fuller, came up with the 'Bubbler' design that we all know and recognise today.
