This jukebox is typical of the styles used in the 1950s. It was the first German jukebox with 200 song selections. It had a capacity of up to 100 45 rpm records and played the A and B sides, selecting songs from a slightly inclined horizontal circle of records. The A side of the record was fed into the middle of the player from the left, the B side from the right. The dial used to make the selection was adapted from components used in telephones.
