Not to worry. No offense. Flowery wallpaper is not for everyone. As a matter of fact, I'm de-wallpapering the house, except for the living room as that is relatively new. I find your tastes change over the years. I never liked painted walls, thought they weren't "warm enough", but as I have the wallpaper removed, I'm liking the painted look.

Gene, your jukebox is very, very Do you play it often?
Lainey,
I pretty much only play it around Christmas or during parties. (I have a lot of R&B and Bing Crosby type Christmas records on it) In fact, I need to give it a good cleaning and lubrication before the next time I play it.

Where did you get it?
I found it (through a mutual acquaintance) in an old garage about 20 miles from here. It was in terrible shape, with mice nests, accumulated dirt, etc. inside. I had to rebuild the electronics and pretty much totally restore the woodwork, including replacing some of the cabinet veneer. The plastic pieces were in terrible shape, and fortunately, they are being reproduced, so I was able to get it looking like original.
I also have a 1958 Seeburg 201 jukebox in my office (which I also restored), and it has a lot of my 45's that I listen to occasionally when I'm feeling mellow (and have had a couple of beers ). It doesn't photograph as well as my 1015, though.
(Now, do you see where my screen name and avatar come from?)
vetc9, seeing your pictures made me think of the house I grew up in when I was a wee lad - certainly nothing anywhere close to being as fancy as yours but I remember one feature I always thought was cool. The heavy wood trim in the entrance way between the front room and the dining room and the sliding doors that stored inside the walls. It looks like you might have those kind of doors.

Lainey, you've got to forgive his poor attempt at humor! 
Already did!
