| Not much is known about
this particular BAL-AMi jukebox. It was completely unheard of
when this web site was first constructed in 1997, and there's
no mention of it in the jukebox "encyclopaedia" The Ultimate
Jukebox Guide. It was only in 2006
that the first of four of these machines - all located in
mainland Europe - was made known to me via the web site, and
the others quickly followed.
It is thought that a small manufacturing
operation was set up by Balfour in or near Le Touquet in
France to manufacture them.
The machines themselves look to be based
upon the S100 but have an electric select mechanism (the S100
is manual) and have differences in the trim (e.g. the
front bezel is upside down to that of the S100).
