Jukeboxes

The first jukebox was introduced in 1889. The original name of it was an Automatic Coin Operating Phonograph. It was a coin operated machine placed in a bar in San Francisco, California. It was a huge hit. At a quarter per song, the jukebox made $1,000 in only six months. The jukebox continued to be very popular until the 1930’s. Due to the depression and free radio, the jukebox wasn’t used as often as before. They remained in the facilities but did not get those precious quarters that were needed for more important necessities.
