Sorry mate,i had the same problem with Youngers No 3 as well.Halucinations Brilliant!!!! Did they have the technology in the 60s to show videos on Jukeboxes? Must have.The earliest video juke box I can remember was about 1981? Seem to remember seeing the Stranglers' Golden Brown on an early one in London? I think it must have been some sort of back projection Oh ive had a lot of "Back projection" after a night on the Number 3,all day infart     Okay,which smart alec changed the word "infact" to "infart"Tut tut tut

Many years ago I went to a museum somewhere in the south-west that had lots of coin operated amusements, including a moving picture jukebox. The track we picked was 'Jack the Ripper' by Screaming Lord Sutch. The mechanism was based on 16mm cartridges and was pretty much as described otherwise. From what I remember some of the promo films were made specifically for the jukebox.
