Spirit of St. Louis Jukebox Replica Model RW2853

This is a tabletop replica jukebox, specifically the 'Spirit of St. Louis' model RW2853, designed to capture the nostalgic aesthetic of 1940s and 50s Wurlitzer-style models. The unit features a wood-grain finished cabinet with arched top architecture and integrated lighting systems. The top section houses a visible turntable under a clear dome, accented by a decorative background with musical notes and rainbow-hued prismatic patterns. Below the turntable area, there are two mock selection panels with names of artists and songs, flanking a central set of red illuminated buttons. The lower section integrates modern audio components, including a digital display, CD player slot, and rotary control knobs, all framed by chrome-finished plastic accents and cream-colored vertical pilasters. The construction primarily utilizes MDF with wood-look veneers, plastic, and acrylic components. Notable features include the red-lit top crown and side light tubes that mimic the neon gas tubes of vintage machines. The condition appears to be used but well-preserved, with no immediate structural damage visible, though fine scratches on the plastic acrylic dome and some wear on the chrome-plated plastic trim are common for this model's age (likely late 1990s or early 2000s). The craftsmanship is aimed at the consumer novelty market rather than arcade-grade reliability, utilizing lightweight electronic components and decorative embellishments to achieve a retro look.
