THE BRAND NEW 1015 FROM SOUND LEISURE.
The latest nostalgia jukebox from Sound Leisure is the realisation of a dream for Chairman Alan Black.
For over 30 years, Alan has wanted to create a classic jukebox that would be every bit as special as the 1946 Wurlitzer 1015, which remains to this day, the biggest selling jukebox of all time. The 1015 set a benchmark, which has only now been met by the talented craftsmen and women at the Sound Leisure workshops in Leeds.
Of the original 65,000 1015s sold, only around 6,000 remain in the market and would now cost over £10,000 to buy. These jukeboxes held twenty-four 78 RPM records that were only playable on one side. Times have of course changed, and Sound Leisure has updated its Nostalgia model to hold 80 CDs, as well as having iPod connectivity.
But what sets the Sound Leisure Nostalgia jukebox apart from others in the market is the attention to detail. It has a hand-formed cabinet featuring beautiful bubble tubes, an aluminium-cast speaker grill, antlers, and chromed base. Just one Nostalgia jukebox takes around 45 man hours to produce, and incorporates the skills of departments including the wood shop, machine shop, polishing, assembly, wiring and final test.
“The new Nostalgia truly is a dream machine. It harks back to the glory years of the 1015, which some believe was the greatest jukebox of its time. We have brought the design into the 21st Century, without sacrificing any of the quality that made the 1015 justifiably famous,” says Alan Black.
“We realise that our latest Nostalgia is set to become a collector’s item, in the same way as many of our other Classic jukeboxes. We are initially aiming the box at the consumer/home market, but as the machine is available with a coin-mech – commercial use is also possible,” says Chris Black, Sound Leisure Managing Director.
