Other Jukebox Manufacturers Serial #'s & Estimated Production


This site cover's the production of the lessor known and collected Jukeboxes and accessories. Generally these machines are not covered in mainstream jukebox books or publications due the limited time or volume of production ... this is not to say they are not collectible. Very limited serial number information is available, so making accurate estimates of production is difficult, however, when a production estimate is shown, I have some confidence that it is close, "?" next to a number indicates more than a little doubt and plain "?" indicates either too little data or a serial number pattern that I cannot decipher.

About Serial Numbering

Unlike the Serial Number and Production Estimate pages for the big four, this page will cover many manufacturers, with only a few models each. As such, each may have a separate system for serial numbering. I have just recently managed to break the "code" on "Capehart" ... why it took so long I don't know as it is now totally obvious. For you interest, on the Capehart 28 F and G Orchestrope, only the first 4 digets are relevant, the next 3 to 4 represent the month/year of production. (e.g. 1230 means Dec '30, 529 means May '29). When looking at the serial numbers, many times they are obvious, but the question arises when you have mutiple models and the data points are mixed ... in the case of Gabel and Mills, I have chosen for now to combine some models, until I determine if there were separate subranges unique to each model, or in fact they were intermixed. At this point, I am not going to attempt to predict the total production for each manufacturer as too little data is available ... perhaps soon with some more information.
