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. |

Mills
Mills, best known in the coin operated field for slot machines,
was one of the most prolific "other" manufacturer of
jukeboxes and especially accessories such as speakers. They produced
coin operated phonographs from 1928 until 1948, when they sold
the business to Evans. Their most collectible machines were produced
between 1939-41 which included the Throne of Music, and Empress.
Prior to that period most jukeboxes and speakers were "woodies". |

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. |
