Introduction

The WallJuke MP3 started as an interesting project to allow the many idle jukebox wallbox units in collectors’ hands to behave as standalone jukeboxes. In the 50’s and 60’s these wallboxes would have been placed on each table in a typical American diner.

Customers would put their coins in the wallbox and make music selections from the comfort of their own tables. The wallbox sent a series of pulses to a jukebox in the corner, which would then select and play the required selections.

Wallboxes have now become very collectable, due to their relative small size and chromed aesthetic looks.

The WallJuke MP3 unit replaces the jukebox and contains all the music as MP3 files stored on an onboard MicroSD card. Connections are made to the wallbox in exactly the same way that the original jukebox would have been connected. It is therefore essential that the wallbox is in a fully functional condition before attempting to fit this unit. It will also of course need to be set to freeplay.

A discreet display is included which can be made visible from the outside of the wallbox, this shows selections and the song currently being played. It also functions for a menu system to allow various configuration options. Such as wallbox types, random play and attract mode.

We offer a number of 3D printed mounts which allow the display to be mounted on some of the more common wallboxes. If the display is not required to be mounted externally then simply connect it and leave it inside. After configuration it can in fact be removed completely.
