Jukebox - an electromechanical apparatus for automatically playing musical gramophone records. The classic mechanism consists of a turntable, amplifier, loudspeaker and device for the automatic selection of a record. Powered by a coin or token. Other names of the jukebox are “automatic phonograph”, “nickelodeon” (eng. Nickelodeon), “jook box” (eng. Juke box).
Jukeboxes are installed, as a rule, in cafes, bars, restaurants, dance clubs and other places of recreation. An important feature of the jukebox is its eye-catching stylish design. The heyday of jukeboxes around the world fell on the 1930-1960-ies. Modern jukeboxes can play CDs or play music from a hard disk.
