You get the big Jingle with the "J"! This is how AMI promoted their model J in January 1959 as the company celebrated its 50th anniversary. A round J emblem mounted on the cabinet earmarks the model J as the Jubilee model.

Step back in time with this extraordinary piece of musical history. Originally housed at the BBC’s Broadcasting House, this 1959 BAL-AMI J200 has entertained the likes of radio legends and celebrated guests for decades. Its provenance is unmatched, having been a feature in one of the most iconic broadcasting locations in the UK. This is also the same model that Amy Winehouse owned and from which she got much of her song writing inspiration.

The jukebox has been fully mechanically restored by our team, undergoing a sympathetic restoration externally; the cabinet has been completely stripped back to bare wood and repainted and the original chrome patina preserved. It is such a striking piece and also a true collector’s item for those who value heritage and craftsmanship.

This vintage jukebox delivers an unparalleled listening experience with all components carefully refurbished to ensure optimal performance for a smooth, rich sound quality to recreate the magic of a bygone era.

Whether you're a die-hard music enthusiast, a vintage lover, or simply looking to add a touch of retro flair to your home or business, the 1959 AMI J-200 jukebox is sure to delight. Bring home a piece of music history and experience the same joy and nostalgia that Amy Winehouse herself felt every time she played her favourite tunes on this iconic jukebox.

The Automatic Musical Instrument Company (AMI) played a pioneering role in jukebox history. Their roots go back to 1909 when they made automatic player pianos. This experience with automatic selection mechanisms proved useful when they entered the jukebox scene in 1927. Their first model, the National Automatic Selective Phonograph, offered 20 selections and could play both sides of records, a feature that remained a standard for AMI jukeboxes for the next three decades.

Music and Title Cards Pricing

Music itself is an important part of our business, as reflected by our treasured vinyl library, so we are able to help you source and create the perfect playlist. We also make all of the title cards in original typewriter font – so if you’re a bit stuck for choice, we are only too happy to help!

The charge for vintage records is £15 + VAT per record, this covers most records however some are highly collectable for which we have to pay a premium and are charged at a higher price. The title card service is £150 + VAT.

It is quite an involved process to supply records as we buy them in from dealers or collectors, they will only guarantee the "A" side, so often many records do not pass with us because we always supply records with playable "B" sides as well as the "A".

The centres are then cut (big hole centres) which also leads to some breakage as some of the records split due to their age. Finally they are hand washed and then played both "A" and "B" side on a gramophone for sound quality, only then are they fit to go on the Jukebox. The final check is again playing "A" and "B" side as you would hear it on your Jukebox.

It's all about delivering good quality sound for our clients and if you are investing in a vinyl jukebox the standard of the records have to demonstrate the high standard of our restorations.
