Wurlitzer 1100 in between 40’s and 50’s
What did you do when you are bored at home during the pandemic… you restore a jukebox!
Next one on the bench is a Wurlitzer 1100, produced from 1947 to 1949, the first one after the WWII often called the bomber because of his shape…
This model mark a break on the forty’s Art Deco look with a more modern look of the fifty’s
24 selections, 78 rpm

Here we go again! Nice!
How many jukes do you own now? Over the years I have seen you talk about/show/display quite a few. They are very nice and some of them are true works of art.

Nice. Sorry about your dad. Was he into repairing them as well? Kind of a nice hobby/interest to have shared with him.

Re: Wurlitzer 1100 in between 40’s and 50’s
no problem, he was sick... so that's ok... We bought our first jukebox when I was 15. He send me to my first trip to new york at 19 year old to bring our W700 (i stil have it in my bedroom) in 1993. We have a lot of awesome story about jukebox after all this years... He like to find them, but he didn't have any talent for repairing or restoring... I always have a bunch of stuff to repair when I go see him
The one i did right now was his favorite one... pretty sure i see him smile up there.

Re: Wurlitzer 1100 in between 40’s and 50’s
The front door stories....
the front door is a real headache since a start this project. Originally there is a woodgrain patern paint on the aluminium front door.
There is nobody doing that anymore and I don't want to try it myself... to complicated. Most of the restorer now put a vinyl decal to replace it... I had this kind of vinyl on mine, my father did it couple year ago.
I alway find that doesn't look right, but if it's the only option, i will do it that way.
After some research i found a new process call hydro dipping.
I only find one place around montreal who did this and my door is pretty big, so i don't know if it's will fit in the bath... So i take an appointment and go there with my door. It's bike paint shop, so after looking at me like and extraterrrest, The boss is finally agree to do my door. We found this film who look pretty close to the original pattern, maybe little bit lighter
there is a lot of preparation to the door before the dipping. Taping, rimer, wet sandind, dipping and clearcoat.
We should see the result soon, but i have a lot of hope in this processs...

Re: Wurlitzer 1100 in between 40’s and 50’s
Probably, when the juke was new, it was probably lighter as well, wood pattern gets yellowish over the years, a little like wooden floors, I think you are right on with the color considering this.
Nice job.

Today i glue the foil inside the cab, did it when the cab is on his side, a lot easier, use 77 contact spray glue. One coat on the cab and one on the foil… should stay there forever!

Where the heck did you buy new pilaster cylinder colour sheets? I'm curious because the most difficult part of a restoration is often finding new compatible parts.redketchup wrote: ↑Thu Nov 04, 2021 8:15 pm New pilaster cylinder color sheet8BA76A57-D57A-4DED-B6FA-D057B60B6EAB.jpeg2A2D7061-69B0-4EB1-9A23-3BC20C0A7D26.jpeg
