Rowe AMI 'Music Maker' Jukebox
This is a vintage Rowe AMI floor-standing jukebox, specifically the 'Music Maker' model (or similar late 1960s to early 1970s variant) designed to play 45 RPM records. The unit features a distinct mid-century modern 'box' profile with a silver-toned, brushed metal front panel adorned with 32 decorative circular chrome studs or 'buttons' arranged in a grid. The lower section includes dual speaker grills with the 'Rowe AMI Stereo Round' logo prominently displayed in silver script. The upper section consists of a slanted glass-enclosed display for song title strips and a mechanical selection area. The selection buttons are visible as a red horizontal row above the decorative panel. Its construction utilizes a combination of chrome trim, glass, and wood laminate cabinetry. Notable features include the visible internal record carousel through the top glass. Condition-wise, the chrome trim shows some dulling and light surface pitting consistent with age. There appears to be minor wear on the cabinet edges and slight yellowing of the title strip inserts. The craftsmanship reflects the robust industrial design of the period, meant for high-traffic commercial use in diners and bars.
