[SC: 22.21], [PU: Quintet., London,], ANTIQUES AND COLLECTIBLES - // JUKEBOXES 72813, Quarto; hardcover; black boards with silver gilt spine titling; 128pp., with many colour and monochrome photographic illustrations. Minor wear only; near fine. Postage quoted is for a standard format octavo book. Final charges may vary depending on size and weight. In 1906 the John Gabel Company produced the 'Gabel Automatic Entertainer', the first coin-operated record player with an automatic changer system. From this simple wind-up mechanism with its horn speaker would spring a multi-million dollar industry, a new outlet for design creativity and technical innovation and one of those rare and fascinating phenomena of 20th century life - an object which becomes an icon. Vintage Jukeboxes traces the golden years of these magic machine - the 1940s and '50s and uses the publicity material of the manufacturers themselves to evoke the era with a wealth of full-colour illustrations. This book tells the whole story - the technical achievements, the design wars, the marketing strategies - of an invention that not only educated the musical tastes of a nation but also won its heart.<
