And here it is .... I brought the cabinet second hand from EBay back in August 2014 ( not from the original vendor) It was partially started they had installed some LED strip lights, and glued in some of the supplied plastic decorative fill pieces (see pics 1&2).
I have since made new plastics and mounted 4 Mini LED bubble tubes behind them ( pics 3 to 7). I have painted the highlights & surrounds antique gold (pics 8 & 9)... Now for the Interior, The touch screen is ready to mount & the MDF for the speakers is cut to size. Speakers have been temporarily fitted to complete wiring.
Silver amp fitted but don't work yet! Speaker grill & cloth fitted. (see below)
Oh Blast it! I blew up the silver amp (above), must be a capacitor or something......
I brought some active speakers off EBAY. When they were delivered I found that they were 800 watts and the speakers were too big for the cabinet. But they will come in handy for parties, Oh Yeah!
I Brought a new AMP from EBAY not as good but will do (for now) & re-used the speakers from the the blown amp system. (see below) Anyway, I had to manufacture a new face plate to mount the controls on the side. Decided on brass, but it's really expensive in sheet form, so I found a door push plate from DIY store which is Ideal thickness & perfect width. (see picture of the drilled item) I found a printer paper that you can print your own Lithographs on, (Lettresett) Which I scaled & printed, then water transferred on the the brass plate & then used a cellulose lacquer car spray to seal it. The name was important as I wanted something different from what it was called. So WURLOZZA JUKEBOX it is, a tribute to the Wurlitzer Jukeboxes (I still want one) & a play on my name.
THE AMP BEFORE & AFTER :
Finally it's running Lights, Music, the lot. Now to fine tune it.
WURLOZZA JUKEBOX IN ACTION
I used an old DELL OPTIPLEX 355 PC base unit, this used to run for 1 hour or so, then just turn off. After reloading software several times, removing & cleaning memory & heat sinks it still shut down. I scoured the internet for information even down to working out which capacitors could be at fault & getting a cost. I even dug out my old,old base unit got it up & running but it's so old I couldn't get all the drivers for the sound card. I was about to give up, when there was a little item buried deep in the internet, on these Dell Optiplex some of them were fitted with a faulty DVD drive, So I unplugged the drive & would you believe it, that PC has been running for up to 14 hours a day without a hitch. Apparently Dell know of the problem but do not want it widely known.
