Where Are They Now ?
No one knows exactly how many jukeboxes
were manufactured by BAL-AMi, but it's likely that most of them haven't
survived.
My aim with this page is to build a picture of just how many are still around,
and their geographical spread.
If you have a BAL-AMi, with a serial number plate on
the back, drop me a line and I'll add it to the
list.
