I have one of these. My Dad purchased 2 of them brand new right after WWII. He traded one of them in exchange to have the other restored in the mid 1980's. The restoration was done by someone in Grand Rapids MI.
I totally agree! The 1015 is absolutely gorgeous when she's all lit up. The bubbles going and the pilasters spinning make for a great visual experience. I appreciate the comment.
Thank you so much Mike! It’s a labor of love, working on these old machines gives me peace and a great sense of accomplishment to bring them back to their former glory.
Thank you, I will give Wurlitzer all the credit, they built a beautiful machine. Get one as soon as possible, they are getting hard to find and more expensive everyday.
Thank you, It really stinks that I can’t play the original 78’s in the machine for fear of copy right issues. I agree the stock music is pretty lame, it takes away from the nostalgia of the era for sure.
@@fredrickadams7749 Your comments are very much appreciated. I don’t do these for TH-cam views and I’m not even monetized, so hearing feedback from others that appreciate bringing the old stuff back to life instead of trashing it for the “next thing” keeps me motivated. Now I just have to find them. 😊
Hi Kevin, I got all of them on eBay from various sellers. I tried to find links, but they are all expired, the seller was www.ebay.com/usr/vintageinvestment
I am not familiar enough with the newer units, but the old ones use a small heater pot on the bottom of the glass tubes that heats up a low boiling temp fluid and caused bubbles to climb inside the tubes. Check for those pots and then check the connections to make sure they are getting power to them. I hope that helps some.
Hello, outside of trying to maybe heat the platter some and working on removing the bend, I cant think of anything other than trying to locate a replacement. This may be hard, but check ebay, I have seen some hard to find parts there from time to time.
There are replacement plastics available for the light bars and the spinning balusters. For small plastics I use plastic restorer and lots of elbow grease.
Yeah, First I thought it was some kind of molding with epoxi since it was both curved and semi round. And the shape of it makes it hard to bend and create without special machines.

Great restoration! I'm blown away by the "RGB" lights and the turning colour tubes inside. Wurlitzer did RGB long before it was cool.

You have great restoration skills and I know that this was not easy. Thanks for sharing.

Absolutely beautiful. Well done.
Thank you very much!

C'est magnifique ! Bravo !
Thank you!
WOW! Love it
You should be able to play your songs in your own house, regardless of TH-cam
Wow I'd love to restore something like this you are so lucky
I do feel lucky to have found a project like this. Such a beautiful machine and a pleasure to restore.
My compliments, what a metamorphose, such a renovation, in a brand new state 1946 Wurlitzer 1015 Jukebox, Congrats, would like to hear it playing too?
Thank you! Stupid TH-cam makes me mute the original audio for copyright issues, even the oldies have someone getting paid..sigh.
Hi, where did you get the replacement plastics?

Oh ! Oh! Ohhhhh........! ❤ 😊 ❤ 😊
I have a Wurlitzer 1015 CD player the bubblers do 😢 9:11 not work, how can I get them to work.

How do you do the curved plastics?

I don't like these old jukes. I like the ones from the 60s and 70s.
Then go to 60s 70s youtube and watch there
