Other Jukebox Manufacturers


This section contains tables covering 20 different "other" jukebox manufacturers and lists 91 models of jukeboxes, 15 remote selectors and 54 speakers. The "heavy weights" of this second tier of manufactures includes Mills, Packard, Gabel, Capehart and Aireon. What separates all of these manufacturers from the "big four" is lack of staying power. In many cases this was due to poor business judgment, including under estimating competition, misreading market niches or veering from their mainline business. What this relates to today for the collector is that if you have one of these machines, finding parts is generally going to be more difficult that for the models of the "big four".

If you are interested in the production figures for these models and the serial numbering you can visit "Other" Production Estimates.

Although every effort has been made to make these lists complete, the paucity of information makes that impossible. In most cases these manufactures are USA based, not due to any specific bias, but mainly due to the limited amount of information available to the author relating to specifications such as dimensions, years of production and model designation.

Aireon
After its heyday of work as an aircraft accessories company dried up at the end of World War II, Aireon tried its hand at producing jukeboxes. None of its machines were a major commercial success and today, although collectors enjoy the styling of some (the airline and "canned ham") they are not considered easy to operate or maintain.

Capehart
Founded by the "father" of the jukebox industry, Homer Capehart, the company was one of the first mainstream producers of jukeboxes starting in 1928 after Capehart left Holecomb and Hoke with new mechanism which they were not interested in. Production started shortly thereafter however the great depression brought a sales slump and Homer was sacked in by investors in 1931, formed Packard and then brought the Simplex mechanism to Wurlitzer. The company muddled through the depression and Prohibition and was forced into receivership in 1939.

Gabel
The longest running "small guy", the John Gabel Manufacturing Co (of Chicago, Illinois) competed with the likes of Wurlitzer, AMI, Rockola and Seeburg in the mid30's to Late 1940. They have the distinction of producing the first multi-selection jukebox in 1906, the automatic entertainer, but the lack of amplified sound doomed this initial start. In 1936 they introduced the Starlight, beating Wurlitzer by 2 years to the "first light up" title. Gabels are hard to find, and even hard to find parts for. Their last unit was the art deco 1940 "Kuro".

Melodie Vendor
The Melodie Vendor is a mix between a Jukebox and a vending machine. Produced by the Melodie-Vendor Corporation of Appleton, Wisconsin, it played 15 selections and offered each of the 15 records for "sale". Each play was credited towards the purchase of a record, when the purchase price was reached, the machine would vend one of 15 different records.It may be argued that this model was actually a "Ristaucrat" since Melodie-Vendor Corp was the work of the Ristau brothers (of Ristaucrat).

Packard
The Packard Manufacturing Co (Indianapolis, Illinois) was formed by Homer Capehart in 1932. It remained dormant from 1933-39 while he worked for Wurlitzer. In 1940, it began producing the "butler" remote selector which it produced for 9 years. In addition to the selector, Packard produced a variety of ornate speakers, most of which are quite collectible. Only two jukeboxes were produced, the Plamor 7 and the Manhattan. The venture was not a great commercial success, but as Capehart was now a millionaire and US Senator, he probably ended up be viewed as an expensive hobby. Wurlitzer purchased all of Packard's assets, parts, tools in 1951 but did not continue production of Packard models.
