Odd Items Which Don't Fit
Anywhere Else On This Site !
Jason Miller of Morpeth in Northumberland sent me these
terrific photos of his father and uncles running their jukebox hire business
in the 1950s/60s.
They started their business by buying a cafe in Whitley
Bay from an Italian who was interned in the second World War. They
eventually turned it into an amusement arcade and got into the jukebox hire
business.
The business was a big success as the country went
jukebox crazy. Some sites were worth fortunes and competition got fierce,
often with trouble and brute force being used by some operators to muscle
others out of the best sites.

George Miller on far left, and Bobby Mason on the right,
with an AMi J safely strapped to the back of the custom-built transportation
!

The deal for the AMi J is done, and there's a BAL-AMi
Super 40 on the left.
